The Las Vegas Locos fan club is launching very soon. I met up with a few other core members and Fan Club President Sherri Lokken to discuss ideas at the fan event at Sierra Gold the other night. The official name of the Locos fan club will be The Train Gang. A lot more information and surprises are coming soon.

The fan event was a lot of fun and we got to hang out with the LocoMotion and Locos tight end Adam Bergen. No spoilers, but just know that the uniforms will be unveiled SOON, with a big unveiling event TBA.
