EspañolANAHEIM PIRANHAS
(Redirected from Las Vegas Sting)
The 'Las Vegas Sting' was a team which competed in the Arena Football League during the 1994 and 1995 seasons. Their home games in 1994 were played in the MGM Grand Gardens, and they were moved to the Thomas and Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for the 1995 season. The team was relocated to Anaheim, California prior to the start of the 1996 season, at which time it was renamed the Anaheim Piranhas.
The Sting competed in the 1994 and 1995 seasons of Arena Football before relocating to Anaheim prior to the 1996 campaign. The Piranhas played their home games at Arrowhead Pond, also the home of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim of the National Hockey League. The team was not an overwhelmingly successful draw in the high-overhead Southern California market and folded after the conclusion of the 1997 season. The team's folding is partially due to the fact that the team's owner, David Baker, became commissioner, and had to focus on running the league as a whole.
The Sting hosted the Cleveland Thunderbolts in a nationally-televised game on June 17, 1994, the same day O.J. Simpson led Los Angeles police on the most closely watched pursuit in American history.
