I think the Raiders will maintain home field advantage in Las Vegas. Yes, there will definitely be fans from opposing teams, but most people forget that there are Raiders fans all over the west coast. Raiders fans are also the same type of people that make multiple trips to Vegas as well. I believe that's why Mark Davis wants to the move the team there, he gets a brand new stadium and keeps his west coast fan base.

Hell any true Raiders fan knows that Al Davis loved going to Vegas and lounging by the poolside.

Read this article below from 2014:
Al Davis envisioned Las Vegas Raiders

Mark may just be fulfilling his fathers dream. People back east just don't appreciate Vegas the same way as people in the western United States do.

I stand by it. 40-50% of the stadium will be die-hard Raider fans and they'll make enough noise to be heard.

There is a stadium proposal between the city of Oakland and a group led by Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott. This could keep them in Oakland.

Now that we have two (2) major sports teams in VEGAS (NHL/nfl)....how long will it be before there is a major gambling scandal involving these teams?
We have all seen some pretty shady deciscions with boxing matches(leonard/hagler)......i think it is just a matter of time.

In terms of "changing the outcome of game", comparing boxing to football is ridiculous.

Is you son really a Navy pilot?
