Raiders officially file to move to Las Vegas

That's what I mean. Why didn't anyone think of this before ? Seems fail-safe to me !

I'm sure there is some concern over the population in Vegas. In Oakland they had one of the largest markets in the NFL to now one of the smallest if not the smallest. Vegas while they do have a lot of Raiders fans are also known more as a transient city so very big mix of fans from all over. And I'm sure there is some worry about just like what happened in San Diego where fans decided they would rather do other activities than go to a football game. There was just so much to do in the city that football just wasn't a priority. Could Vegas run into that same issue? So plenty of concerns with a move like this and that isn't even getting into players living in what many consider one of the most tempting cities towards some not so great behaviors in the world.

Marc Badain: Las Vegas “financing will not be an issue”

I still think Tijuana is more fitting...

The short answer is "Goodell"
He WAS anti Vegas because of gambling, nevermind the fact that Fantasy Football is gambling, which is supported by the league.

I think the reason Jerry was 100% behind the move was exactly what you said. $$$$$ making opportunity.
