Flyers fans launch GoFundMe page looking to buy Penguins

PHILADELPHIA — A group of Philadelphia Flyers fans known as the Orange and Black Pack have started a GoFundMe account looking to raise $750 million to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“We figure since the Flyers already figuratively own the Penguins, their fans might as well literally own them,” the webpage read.

On the list of changes that would be made if the campaign would be successful is painting the arena orange and black and putting a photo of Claude Giroux on the outside of the building.

The page said that in the "very likely" event they do not raise the money, they will donate it to Flyers Charities.

As of Sunday, the page has raised just over $1,000.
