Las Vegas Outlaws Playing Tonight At Thomas & Mack

“When I started this Arena Football team last year, I told the coaches, the players, and the league that the whole point of this is to beat the L.A. Kiss,” said Vince Neil. “As long as we win this game, everyone gets to keep their job, and we get to take home the Dollar Loan Center Rivalry Trophy. It’s going to be a crazy night. Gene, Paul and I will be in the stands, cheering with the fans and watching the big game go down.”

Tickets are available at the Thomas & Mack Center box office, UNLVTickets.com outlets Town Square Las Vegas and La Bonita Supermarkets, www.unlvtickets.com/outlaws or by calling 702-739-FANS. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. PT; Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.

The Las Vegas Outlaws are the newest expansion team for the Arena Football League.

Neil announced in September 2014 that he would bring professional football back to the city, and with it a powerhouse team packed with the best players in the sport. The Outlaws played their first game against the San Jose SaberCats March 30. Although they fell short in their home-opener, the Outlaws surged back with an underdog win over the three-time ArenaBowl Champions the Arizona Rattlers. As a result, the Outlaws spiraled to the top of the AFL rankings. Next, they traveled to LA to defeat the KISS, wining the first of what will be three “Rock Star Rivalry” games between the two teams. Tonight, the Outlaws are looking to defeat the KISS, bump the rivalry to 2-0 and stake their claim to the big prize trophy.

Vince Neil, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are confirmed to attend the game, marking the first-time ever that all three owners are together to watch their team battle to win the “Rock Star Rivalry.”
