That's all the owner of the RAIDERS has said.. He already said NO to St Louis, sharing that new stadium with the Whiners, etc.. Im sorry, but im afraid it's one of those 3.. Now Oaklands very own Two $hort loves him some Birmingham Alabama.. But that's about it..

So if another city comes to him and says "we will pay for the new stadium, the $550 million moving expense that the NFL imposes, and the city is showing that they really want you here" that Mark Davis isn't going to listen? I mean plenty of cities could come up with a very nice proposal to try and get an NFL team.

Earlier today I read an article in a local SF paper about London England even being mentioned in the convo now....lol

Just face it, Raiduh fanzzzzz. Nobody wants them.....not even Oakland.

They should just move up the I-80 to Sacramento and be done with it....I think they still might want to lure them.

For sure cd, i agree with you on that one.. But Birmingham Alabama?? Think how silly that just sounds.. Mark would say no freakin way.. Heck, SA already told Mark that they HAVE everything lined up for him, and all he has to do is say yes.. And that's SA a SWEET City!!

So Viva Las Vegas eh?? That would be sweet!!
Man, i could just imagine the stadium Sheldon Adelson is going to build there.. That is one dude you don't mess around with!! So now we have Oakland, SA, SD, and Las Vegas, and long shot LA depending on what the Chargers do.. Go get it Mark Davis!! And as always, GO RAIDERS!!

Seems like somebody on here made the Vegas suggestion not too long ago and well was called a troll for suggesting anywhere other than LA, SD, SA, or Oakland...Hmmmm

I had mentioned Birmingham and Vegas as 2 places I think could be considered and well you went off on me saying that I was getting close to trolling by making such comments on this board.

I do remember you talking about Birmingham, and that is pretty silly btw, but i don't recall discussing Vegas with you.. Maybe we did, but i don't remember..

Well page 4 post #63 is where I mentioned Vegas and Birmingham. You responded to my post with "You are a trip CD" to which later on when I kept pushing that another location could definitely emerge you told me I was getting close to trolling.

The trolling part was on the Birmingham, in which case it was close to trolling.. We never talk Vegas, i don't think i even mentioned it.. But we sure did discuss Birmingham, silly as that sounds..

Well right after my Vegas idea you told me that there are no other places than SA, SD, LA, and Oakland on the table and to think otherwise is ridiculous. So Vegas would be included in that. Again my Birmingham idea came from an Oakland sports writer trying to think of some of the other places that could be looked at if the money is right. He suggested Birmingham and well Vegas just seems to easy of a choice with the big money, not close to really any NFL team, big tv market, and great set up for any kind of travel to the stadium.

We never really discussed Vegas for the simple fact, that we never really thought of it as an option..
When you do break down that area, it's full of RAIDERS fans, as well as LA and and pretty much all of Cali close by.. It would be perfect location for the RAIDERS.. But again, none of us really talk Vegas cd as an option, cuz of the league.. Now, Mark is meeting with Sheldon Adelson, and not a peep from the league as of yet..
So maybe it is an option after all..

But I did talk Vegas Idaho on this very thread. I said I couldn't believe that Vegas wasn't being talked about as it makes a lot of sense for any team to move there.

"What I can't believe is that Las Vegas isn't mentioned as a possible location for a team. Lots of money that could help build a new stadium, decent tv market, decent size area with fans that I wouldn't say are attached heavily to one team and could get behind a team coming in."

That is my exact quote from January 16th. Your response was "you are a trip CD."

I think you did mention Vegas cd.. But again, nobody really gets into deep detail over Vegas being an option cuz of the league.. Of course it would be a great place to play, i MEAN it's Vegas for crying out load.. But Again the league cd.. That's why no real convo on Vegas..

I do remember you pushing Vegas cd, i give you credit for it.. But again cd.. All we ever hear when they mention Vegas as a spot for some team, is the league.. But now with this meeting of Mark and Adelson and no peep from the league, maybe it is an option..

Well I brought it up because I figured in this day and age it has to be a real option. Before when they worried about corruption that isn't in Vegas as much. I mean they are actually the biggest police when it comes to corruption on betting in the country. Now if any casino owners did put money towards the Raiders they would do what they have done in the past of just not allow betting on the Raiders because of the possible violations. They would view though the Raiders or any team as somebody who could bring in a ton of people to the city. Huge revenue especially if they could get a Super Bowl in the area. 20 heck even 10 years ago I would have said Vegas wasn't an option but in today's world I can't see why the league wouldn't want a team in Vegas.

Good post that i agree with.. And that's why i never really discussed Vegas as an option, cuz of the league.. But now that Mark is meeting with one of the most powerful and riches guys around, it just might be an option..
Again, i would be good with Vegas RAIDERS, but my heart is in Oakland still, and im hoping something gets done there..
