warriors.kiwi are reporting Locals on NRL in Vegas: Exciting, amazing, incredible
Eyes wider than the nearby Grand Canyon, two local Las Vegas dads with their nine-year-old sons found themselves amongst the chanting, singing and cheering throng of NRL and Super League fans at Allegiant Stadium.
Stories about crazy supporters at foreign football codes had kept their interest down when the NRL visited Las Vegas a year ago and so it was with some trepidation they found themselves amongst fans wearing jerseys representing not just the eight teams on the trip, but others not here as well.
Within moments, youngsters Landon and Maxwell were having the time of their lives, especially when featured on the big screen and their dads were wondering why they were ever worried.
The NRL in Las Vegas is already a ritual for Melissa Cadena who was celebrating her birthday with friends at the stadium, just as she had a year earlier.
As a Canberra attacking effort went to the bunker for replay review, Cadena and her two friends Stacie Lanza and Jenny Patterson tried to figure out what the result would be despite having an extremely limited knowledge of the rules.
