The Vegas Golden Knights are a prominent team in the NHL who proudly call the T-Mobile Arena their home.
Situated on the bustling Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, this state-of-the-art multi-purpose indoor arena has been their residence since April 6, 2016. The T-Mobile Arena was brought to life through a collaborative effort between MGM Resorts International and Anschutz Entertainment Group.
While the arena serves as the official home of the Vegas Golden Knights, it is not limited to hosting hockey games alone. In fact, the arena's primary function revolves around entertainment events, including concerts that attract top musical artists.
Additionally, the venue has gained recognition for its ability to host professional boxing and mixed martial arts events, making it a versatile and dynamic space.
The Vegas Golden Knights' phenomenal rise to prominence
The Vegas Golden Knights have quickly made a name for themselves since their establishment in 2017 as an expansion team.
They were the first major sports franchise to represent Las Vegas, capturing the hearts of local fans and making a significant impact on the NHL.
Owned by Black Knight Sports & Entertainment (a consortium led by Bill Foley and the Maloof family), the Golden Knights have brought a new level of excitement and passion to the city of Las Vegas.
What sets the Golden Knights apart is their extraordinary success right from the start. It is rare for expansion franchises to experience immediate triumph, but the Golden Knights defied the odds.
In their very first season, they not only qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs but also reached the Stanley Cup Finals. This achievement took the hockey world by storm.
During their inaugural postseason run, the Golden Knights demonstrated their tenacity and skill by securing an impressive 13 playoff wins.
This remarkable feat stands as the record for the most wins by a team during their first-ever playoff appearance.
Their incredible journey to the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals solidified their place in NHL history and elevated the team's status to new heights and they haven't looked back.
They once again find themselves again in the Stanley Cup Finals, this time facing the Florida Panthers.
