I grew up in the "hood" here and have sen the worst this city has to offer. My first job was busing table at Treasure Island when it opened, I have watch the fastest growing city in the world, for 20+ years, grow to what it is today, and I am invested in many charities and movements here. My kids have been through the public school system, my entire family has lived here for nearly 40 years. Everything from successful tourist industry, to union construction, to my aunt who just retired from 35 years teaching here. Shall I go on?

Again like I said I am done. I have not said that you are not invested in the city by any means. All I've said is there are different opinions out there by locals who have been there family wise much longer than your 40 years. That doesn't mean they are right by any means. Anyway enjoy your city. I do enjoy going to Vegas and seeing my friend and catching a few shows. Will probably be back again sometime this year.

Just stop pretend YOU know, and we are fine.

I've never said I know. I have said this is what I think could be a major problem if the team moves to Vegas. I see some possible issues that is all. Doesn't mean they will happen and doesn't mean I have any clue what I am talking about. I"ll take your word for it though on the issue and just leave it at that.

So Mark Davis now has two of the most powerful people in Vegas in his corner in Adelson and Steve Wynn.. And they both want the RAIDERS in Vegas!! Yikes for the City of Oakland!!
You don't mess with people like Adelson and Wynn, they buy the law!!
Your move Libby, cuz those are some HEAVY hitters Mark has..

Crazy, but the RAIDERS could be the Las Vegas RAIDERS here pretty soon.. Or Sin City RAIDERS if you prefer..
Hopefully we remain the OAKLAND RAIDERS but there is some powerful people involved now..

So the number that's out there for the cost of this stadium is 2.1 B WOW!! When Vegas is done with that stadium it will be the best in the world for sure.. Vegas knows how to do things the right way imo.. It's the gambling capital of the World for a reason..

Not to mention the Fertittas just sold the UFC and are new billionaires who would probably like to get involved.

Yeah, I forgot about those cats.. Big players on the Vegas scene, and they want some of the action.. All the big Vegas players are starting to muscle in on that stadium.. Win win for the RAIDERS if in fact we do move there..

I am sure the Die hard Raider fans will shit on the new Vegas fans, but I will be all about the Raiders if they move here. I might have to get one of those dual jerseys sewn up with one side Bears and one side Raider. That will go over like a turd in the punch bowl.

Wait till you see the full force of the DarkSide!!

Nah man, RaiderNation is cool and welcomes ALL fans.. Besides you are a Vegas local, so if the RAIDERS move there?? Go and enjoy them.. I shall be there man..

And you get a sweet bonus, as im sure the Bears will roll into town if in fact we do move there..
