VEGAS (November 14, 2024) – The Vegas Golden Knights have won top honors in two categories in the Clio Sports Awards, Clio announced Wednesday. The Golden Knights earned gold in “Overall/End-to-End” and “Hype/Show Open Video” in the Gameday/In-Game Experience medium that featured teams and leagues across all professional sports. The Golden Knights and other winners will be honored at the 2024 Clio Sports Awards on December 4 in New York City.
“Creating a best-in-class game experience at T-Mobile Arena is at the heart of what we do with the Vegas Golden Knights,” said President and CEO Kerry Bubolz. “We thank Clio Sports for the honor and appreciate the efforts of so many people who contribute to the atmosphere at our games, including the fans who bring their energy every night.”
Vegas’ “Hype/Show Open Video” award was for its playoff open in the 2023 Western Conference Final, which included dramatic ice projections and members of the Knight Line by Drumbots playing while descending to the ice from the rafters. The “Overall/End-to-End” honor was for the team’s in-arena experience in the 2022-23 season.
