Should Oakland Move to Vegas?

[Xander]

With the low stats for football viewing going on right now, I have to ask what you guys think about moving a team to Vegas. Is it to much hype? should we give a shit? How do you think it will affect future decisions?

 

[redseat]

No... I don't think moving with increase revenue or viewership

 

[Fountain City Blues]

From Mark's view absolutely. LV is one of the fastest growing markets in the country and the Raider fanbase is national. Within a stone's throw of the LA Raiders fans. The alternative is much worse

 

[Xander]

Neither do I. I think it's a cheap attempt to increase viewers by adding a touch of "vegas" to it. What they need to do is simply poll their viewers and find out what we want. Remember when oakland first moved...

I hope they don't move, let the Jags or Chargers move there.

 

[DJ]

Yes.

As a vikings fan, why

 

[Xander]

Yes.

Why do you agree?

 

[DJ]

Why do you agree?

Because Oakland dropped the ball.

 

[The Derski]

Yes. It would be nice to watch a Packers game in Vegas.

 

[Xander]

Because Oakland dropped the ball.

Yeah, I was a BIG fan back in the day before they moved them the first time

The Raiders have been trying to work with Oakland for almost a decade. Without a doubt they should move and should ignore any last ditch efforts by the city.

Vegas has grown to the point they'd definitely be able to support a team with both attendance and viewership.

DO you think they ever should have moved them

I don't think the Raiders do or should care about what fans of other teams think.

 

[Xander]

As a Cowboy fan, I Can't imagine them, ( the cowboys) playing anywhere else

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Always been an OAKLAND RAIDER fan not an LA OR Vegas RAIDER fan...IF they leave Oakland I'm done.

I'll just have to become a Chief fan is all...

 

[CowboyB]

DO you think they ever should have moved them

From LA?

Absolutely. The city has shown a consistent trend of not supporting the NFL.

And clearly nobody could imagine the Cowboys having to deal with a stalwart city refusing to provide a stadium deal.
