JT The Brick: “The Raiders Are 100% Only Focusing On Nevada And Las Vegas”

Tijuana wouldn't pony up after all....

Based on my experience, Tijuana is more about donkeys than ponies...

I actually understand the motivations of the participants more than the spectators. Drugs will make people do lots of nasty shit, but who wants to pay to watch it?

Based on comment #41, apparently you do.

The question is, Was he the one being paid?

Wait, you're right. He could have been one of those being paid. At least I hope he was being paid to do that.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones aiding push for Raiders move to Las Vegas

ANDREW KULP

The Oakland Raiders might not be moving after all, although Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seems to be doing his part to help relocate the franchise to Las Vegas.

Oakland’s push to keep the Raiders was given new life when billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson suddenly pulled out of $650 million in investments for a new stadium in Las Vegas in January. In the meantime, a new proposal emerged that might entice the Raiders to remain in the Bay Area.

Yet, NFL owners have apparently grown fond of the idea of stationing a team in Vegas. According to Jason Cole for Bleacher Report, Jones is leading the charge to gather investors to the fill the role Adelson was to have in the Raiders’ move.

While it might seem odd for the Cowboys owner to get involved in a Raiders stadium issue, it’s clear what the motivating factor might be for Jones. Putting a franchise in a major, untapped market such as Las Vegas is an opportunity to grow the sport and increase revenues for everybody.

In other words, there could more money to be made by everybody if the Raiders move.

It’s unclear how far along Jones is in the recruitment process, or how viable raising that kind of capital is, but the financial backing is all that’s required at this point. The city agreed to the stadium plan, and the Raiders already filed for relocation.

It sure sounds like the Raiders will still find a way to land in Las Vegas. At least, they will if the Cowboys have anything to say about it.

They need to get the ok from @Manster7588 first, Meyer Lanksy's replacement. Don't need a Bugsy happening to Davis

I gave my OK and even offered to invest in the LV Raiders, but they said my 2 dollars wouldn't help any.
As I understand it LV has the funding with or without Adelson, the bump in the road was Oakland finally pitched a viable proposal that could keep the Raiders there.
It may very well come down to what city puts more money in the NFL owners pockets.

Raiders’ Las Vegas Stadium to get boost from Bank of America

If BOA is financing the stadium, its pretty much a done deal that they will move to Vegas.

It's offical according to Rap sheet

I wonder what Miami's objection was

 

[Iggloo]

They were worried there might be a more attractive destination than South Beach?

Maybe. They were the only nah vote(31-1).

 

[Judge Fudge]

If a mod can change the tittle. Adding it's offical

 

[TP76]

Good luck establishing HFA.

Even though they just reno'd the stadium somewhat, I'm guessing they're planning on asking for some stadium money in the not-too-distant future and now can't threaten to move to Las Vegas nor Los Angeles and given how adverse Miami is to handing out stadium money post-Marlins Park Ross probably realizes he's losing all his leverage.
