The Golden Knights Hockey team in its first year have come into this league like a whirlwind, breaking records and shattering all expectations a hundred-fold. They are the number one story in sports this year and have garnered fans from all around the country unlike any team has done before, even swaying some from their regional allegiances. 

Las Vegas is truly the entertainment capital of the world and hosting the Winter Classic here would be a certain recipe for Uber-success. And by having it here in the Raiders brand-new stadium in January,  both the setting and climate will be perfect. The marketing options will be endless!
