‘Like we’re there’: Golden Knights fans feel Stanley Cup scene at watch parties

Vegas Golden Knights fans gathered at multiple watch parties across Southern Nevada for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes. Venues including T-Mobile Arena, Circa's Stadium Swim, Henderson's Water Street Plaza, and UnCommons hosted large crowds, with fans lining up nearly two hours before doors opened despite temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. Attendees described the watch party atmosphere at T-Mobile Arena as feeling almost identical to attending a live game.
