Austin's Brick Rodeo showcases Lego castle to support Ukraine rebuilding efforts
Austin, TX — Saddle up Lego fans! Brick Rodeo Austin welcomes thousands to this family-friendly event in North Austin from July 4th through the 7th, 2024.
Creators from all over Texas and the country have come together to show off their amazing creations! Keep your eye out for a LEGO castle replica of a nearly 400-year-old Ukrainian castle. Mark Segedie, a LEGO creator from LA, will be there with the Pidhirtsi Castle (Lviv region, Ukraine) LEGO set. The castle was constructed between 1635 and 1640, and in the 18th century, a theater was built inside the palace. Pidhirtsi Castle is also included in The World Monuments Fund’s list of 100 objects of world-historical and architectural heritage that can be lost to humanity.
Mark and other creators are coming together to help rebuild Ukraine, brick by brick, just like in their favorite game. They’ve teamed up with UNITED24 to recreate Ukraine’s stunning architectural gems in unique LEGO sets.
HOUSTON, Texas — The NHL is looking to start the expansion process in Texas, with Austin and Houston as potential targets, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The expansion news is being discussed at the NHL’s board of governors meeting, which is being held on Tuesday in New York.
The NHL went from 30 to 32 clubs when it added the Vegas Golden Knights (began play in 2017-18) and Seattle Kraken (debuted in 2021-22). The expansion fee for Vegas was $500 million and for Seattle was $650 million.
Earlier this month at the Stanley Cup Final, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman reiterated that the league has fielded calls from across North America from prospective cities and owners who are interested in bringing in an NHL franchise.

Bettman has previously told the board of governors that any potential expansion team would likely come with at least a $2 billion fee for it to make sense.
The league has seen record revenues this season — projected to be between $7.5 billion and $8 billion. The NHL salary cap is set at $104 million for the 2026-27 season, a $8.5 million increase from this past season.
