For an extremely chaotic sounding stunt, the Las Vegas Lights FC's helicopter cash drop on Saturday went surprisingly smooth.
The USL team announced the promotion back in August, and at the team’s game against the LA Galaxy II on Saturday, a helicopter dropped $5,000 from the sky. Two hundred preselected fans were on the field to pick up as much cash as they could.
Video of the drop shows wind blowing bills from here to there and fans rushing around trying to pick up as much as possible.
According to the Last Vegas Review-Journal, team owner Brett Lashbrook said $3,000 in $1 bills were dropped, with the remaining $2,000 coming in in $2, $5, $10, $20 and $100 bills.
