There are rumblings. Vegas mayor tells espn radio "the raiders will come if nevada handles this right"

If no other options present themselves and Mark Davis really wants to keep the team- why not? Oakland sure can't come up with a serious proposal. Vegas isn't California like some Raiders fans might want, but it's not Texas either. Heck, Vegas is probably pretty doable for those in the SoCal area.

Where does a vegas stadium come from?

They just need to dig a hole in the desert. Not the first time in Vegas it's been done. Just ask Nicky Santoro.

Heck why not move every team somewhere else at this rate

Apparently the Sands Casino has already been negotiating with Raiders and has the $1B stadium planning started.

Las Vegas Sands proposes $1B domed stadium; Adelson to meet with Raiders owner

LV Sands casino is in talks about the Stadium. Davis offered up 500M, the Sands will pitch in, there's talk of bonds and or tourism tax to help with the cost. The money will be there. I love the Raiders to call Vegas home, just that the pessimism side of me feels this is just a strong arm ploy against Oakland.

The Mayor basically said if the STATE approves the Raiders it's a done deal, the sports radio guys called it North (Carson City) vs. South (Las Vegas). Considering the stadium will also house UNLV Football I don't see how the north can oppose.

Hope it happens and it's not just a ploy by Davis and the Raiders to get a new stadium in CA.

Patriot fans should support the move, it might just cause Roger to kill over. That fuckhead has a hard on against Las Vegas.

Can you imagine how great a Superbowl in Las Vegas would be? Superbowl week on the Las Vegas Strip, are you kidding me?!? That would be insanity. It would be so much fun.

 

[Rod Smart]

I'll bet $50 with 2:1 odds.

I thought long ago the NFL should work with Vegas to build a stadium and to annually play the SB and PB. Hell I might even place the AFC and NFC Championships there.

I kind of feel bad for Oakland. They finally get a team that is good and now they are moving.

Superbowl and Prowbowl = yes

AFC and NFC champ games = no

Home field is too big of deal for playoff teams and they fight all year to make sure they earn it. I don't see any scenario where the league would ever mess with that.

Agree with this. Home Field is an incredible reward that is earned after a brutal few months of play. Would hate to see a team lose that just because the NFL would want a game played at a certain place. Heck West Coast teams would have a huge advantage if say it was played in Vegas on a neutral field in both fans representing at the game and the team just not having to travel as far for the game.

Oakland is going to be losing the GS Warriors also
