I'll always be a Raider fan till the day I die and will follow them regardless what city they are in.

I'm guessing if they move to Vegas they are moving closer to where you live.

I go to Vegas 2-3 times a year (that would increase if the Raiders moved there) and from what I've observed is it's a Cowboy and 49er city for the most part. I know there are Raider fans and it would increase but like @cdumler7 said it's a transient city (similar to LA in that aspect) so there will always be an infusion of new fans.

Actually, now that I think about it......you might be right. But, it's not all that close either.
The more I think about it by milage it's closer, but by time it's probably longer
Every time I drive south to LA, I'm amazed at the traffic going north.

Interesting article yesterday about the possible move and some ex-players speaking out against the move saying it would be the worst thing for any team to move to Vegas.

Vegas strip club validates fears of those against a Raiders move?

If you don't want to read the article essentially some major risks are coming up. Such as the biggest strip club in Vegas is offering any player with the Raiders free rides and lap dances if they come to the strip club. And this isn't a one time offer this is an any time you want kind of offer.

Donte Stallworth is one such player speaking out against the move saying that he thinks any team that moves to Vegas will lose every game because of the distractions present to the players. Said that if you polled the players in the league they would tell you Vegas would be the worst city for them to be at as a team.
