SUNRISE, Fla. – It was a packed house in Sunrise for a Florida Panthers watch party.
Fans filled FLA Live Arena to watch Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final Saturday night.
Although the Cats didn’t come away with a win, fans were pumped about the energy and excitement in the building and around town.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis is confident in the Panthers winning the series, so much so that he challenged the mayor of Las Vegas to a bet.
@mayoroflasvegas, greetings from #FortLauderdale! The Venice of America is looking forward to a hard-fought series between our @FlaPanthers and your @GoldenKnights. How about a bet?
