Locos Mini-Camp Recap

It's been a little while since Locos Station has been updated, and I apologize for that. Anyway, last weekend was the Locos mini-camp, and according to coach Fassel, it was a success. A few fans showed up to the fan fest, and some season tickets were sold. The picture above is from the Las Vegas Sun slideshow you can find here. There's some good pictures there that show the cool practice uniforms. Here is a good article from the Las Vegas Review Journal about mini-camp.

Las Vegas Locos Mini-Camp Roster

Check out the team roster that will be participating in Mini-Camp this weekend. A lot of great players returning, and new players showing their skills. Chicago Rush players QB Russ Michna and WR Samie Parker will miss the Rush game to attend mini-camp. Looks like the players are taking the team very seriously. That's great, let's bring another championship back to Vegas where it belongs!

Most fans will probably want to attend the Saturday Select-a-seat Fan Fest that will be going on from 8:00 - 11:30am. Fans will be able to watch the team practice for a couple hours, and then get to meet and greet the players and coaches. There will also be football activities on our home field! Come meet players new and old on Saturday. Come say hi to Locos Station's very own Joseph. I'll be wearing a Locos shirt and LV cap. Everyone can watch the practice from any seat at Sam Boyd Stadium, and fans are invited to purchase season tickets from whichever seats they'd like.
