Why can't the Vegas Golden Knights Practice Facility be listed on the Wikipedia page? 2600:8801:2D01:64D0:4C52:6E66:FD09:97C3 ( talk) 02:57, 1 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
I don't get why it isn't relevant, the official website has a page for the practice facility. NetWitz ( talk) 03:12, 1 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
But the team's practice facility is not irrelavent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:2D01:64D0:1497:AE25:24D9:779F ( talk) 23:20, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
How do I get City National Arena unblocked from creation? NetWitz ( talk) 17:44, 16 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
While I highly disagree with the edit as the IP (likely NetWitz?) is inserting it, it could plausibly be added to the "Team information" section. That section is usually reserved for info regarding name, logo, jersey, etc. but could be cleaned up and expanded upon if the facility is actually notable. However, my research into City National Arena shows only routine coverage (VGK's own posts and Las Vegas region's newspapers) and none so far from national coverage (although it is new so maybe just WP:TOOSOON). At this time, it does not appear to be notable and certainly not notable to the team history section. Yosemiter ( talk) 01:04, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
The practice facility is where the team is headquartered and would actually be spending most of its time, so it seems to me that it's important enough to mention in the article. Several NHL practice facilities even have their own articles, see Category:National Hockey League practice facilities. Toohool ( talk) 02:08, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
City National Arena page has been updated and is listed on Category:National Hockey League practice facilities 2600:8801:2D01:64D0:CDFD:8073:4D5A:15F ( talk) 21:15, 5 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
I agree it's TOOSOON to consider the arena notable, but notability is not the standard for what information to include in an article. The question is whether it's important to a comprehensive understanding of the article topic. A major real estate asset that the team owns and where it's headquartered, seems to me to be important to understanding the team as a business organization. Not that we need a blow-by-blow of its history, like what the anon was trying to add, but a description like: "The team's headquarters and practice facility, scheduled to open in ___ 2017, is City National Arena, located next to Downtown Summerlin. It will also serve as the home rink of the UNLV hockey team and as a venue for junior hockey games." Toohool ( talk) 21:17, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

It says in the SBNation article mentioned above that the UNLV hockey team will use it for home games. I personally still don't think it's notable to have it's own page, but it should probably be mentioned in passing at least. The brave celery ( talk) 01:07, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello everybody. It seems that there are two related but separate questions being discussed here. (1) Should City National Arena, the headquarters and practice facility of the Vegas Golden Knights, have its own Wikipedia article? (2) Should City National Arena be mentioned in this, the main article for the Vegas Golden Knights? My answers to these questions are (1) no opinion and (2) yes. The headquarters and practice facility are definitely non-trivial, and would be of interest to some readers, so it should be included in this article. In fact I recently added a short paragraph about the arena, with a few nice footnotes, but that was removed by an anonymous editor, here. I'm going to go ahead and put it back in. I've read through this discussion section and I'm just not convinced that this is too trivial to mention, especially since it's gotten some news coverage. — Mudwater ( Talk) 15:49, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, if a Professional Minor league team were to start using City National Arena, would that make it notable enough to be on wikipedia? NetWitz ( talk) 01:27, 20 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
Does this count as non-regional? [ [1]] NetWitz ( talk) 02:07, 20 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
Oh ok. Thank you @ User:Yosemiter NetWitz ( talk) 05:14, 20 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
The UNLV hockey team is confirmed to use City National Arena is their home arena (Proof: [ [2]]), does that make it notable enough? -NetWitz- 01:53, 24 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz
Oh ok, thank you @ Ravenswing btw, there was no need for you to reply to me in a rude attitude -NetWitz- 15:27, 24 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz

I think the team uniform images needs to added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:2D01:64D0:4816:99D:7CEE:3A33 ( talk) 00:15, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, will uniform images ever be added or is that not mandatory? NetWitz ( talk) 07:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)NetWitz

@ Ravenswing: Why do you think this article needs a section for retired numbers when the team hasn't retired any numbers? The only content in the section is the statement that Gretzky's #99 has been retired league-wide, which is not information that is specific to this team, and therefore doesn't need to be in this article, any more so than the fact that the team isn't allowed to have more than 50 players under contract. By my count, there are 3 other NHL teams that haven't retired any numbers ( Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks, Columbus Blue Jackets), and none of those articles mention #99. Toohool ( talk) 04:59, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Should there be a section that talks about the trademark dispute with the U.S. Army Parachute Team? SportsFan007 ( talk) 05:01, 13 January 2018 (UTC)SportsFam007
All minor-league franchises - baseball, basketball and football as well as hockey, and for that matter soccer - are "professional sports franchises." You can do your own research on the rest, but Vegas has had at least a minor league and therefore professional baseball franchise for decades. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.77.146.34 ( talk) 04:32, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

The new alternate uniforms have steel grey sections on the sleeves and socks, as opposed to black. Additionally, the helmets are the grey home helmets, not black.

I'm not sure if its real or not (judging by the draft and the jersey sponsor picture, its real), but beginning in 2022-23 nhl season the Knights have the gold jerseys their home, I just wanted to let you guys know that we will have to make the gold jersey their home. 45BearsFan ( talk) 20:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Something should be mentioned after the fact that the Vegas Golden Knights missed the playoffs for the first time in franchise history on April 27, 2022, that Peter DeBoer was fired on May 16, 2022 and replaced by Bruce Cassidy on June 14, 2022. 129.100.205.229 ( talk) 21:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Title.
"Black Knight Sports and Entertainment" seems like an obsolete title for his company; which is now (and what I'm suggest the edit should be to) "Foley Entertainment Group" (official website with a name, more current Google hits).
Also unrelated but somewhat related, I'm trying to search through quickly, but I think "Foley Entertainment Group" is a separate entity from Foley's other groups/holdings "Black Knight, Inc.", "Fidelity National Financial", and "Fidelity National Information Services, Inc." (all 3 of these companies are on Bill Foley's wiki, albeit the link is dead).
@ The Kip Duyneuzaenasagae ( talk) 03:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Per the WP:BRD earlier, I personally believe that "(colloquially referred to as the Knights)" should be added to the lead, akin to that on Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings. While the short name is heavily-used amidst the fanbase, that's not exactly an RS; that said, one RS, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, does heavily use it, as shown in 1, 2, 3, and so on.
Most others seem to use the full name, which I'm a bit surprised by, but in my opinion the LVRJ might be enough considering it's their home market's primary newspaper.
