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.

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.

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.
Not if Jerry has anything to say about it. I guess the San Antonio Raiders were once a strong possibility but it got nixed because he didn't want the competition, especially since the Raiders are one of the more popular teams in the Hispanic community.
