Re: Las Vegas Raiders

Truthfully, who wants to go VEGAS "BABY" and just watch an NFL game?

Can't you do that in Jacksonville, Cleveland, Baltimore, etc.

Bay area media making it sound as if the Coliseum won't be available after this year. That either the city or Alameda County would kick them out. Cal-Berkeley could be an option; the Niners have not yet (to my knowledge) offered Levis Stadium as an option. The talk now is San Antonio is hot and heavy at getting the Raiders for two years. Raider Nation may travel to southern Cal, or Vegas. Hard to envision them traveling two time zones away to San Antonio.

It's probably 50/50 the Raiders will still be in Oakland for 2018. Doubtful they will be for 2019. San Diego also has been mentioned as an option.

City wants Raiders to pay for all road improvements/expansion around the stadium to accommodate more parking and increase traffic flow. Interesting considering the Raiders don't own the stadium. Be careful what you wish for Davis. This isn't a bunch a gullible Mexicans that ran Irwindale.

If you're renting do you want to put in landscaping for the owner of the house? I haven't read about any trade-offs. Pay-offs yes.

Sounds like the city of Oakland will be suing both the NFL and Raiders and there's a good chance this is the last season the Raiders will be playing at the Coliseum. Have to think they would be looking at both Santa Clara and UNLV as interim homes.

Head coach Jon Gruden has mentioned "Las Vegas" only once since taking over the team.

His reference came during his opening press conference.

Gruden wants the team to focus on the upcoming season.

By the time the 2021 season rolls around, who is more likely to be an NFL head coach, Jon Gruden or Jim Harbaugh?

Casinos will have to change their dress code on gameday. Demonic black zoot suits with pirate accesories will be allowed at Wynn casinos on Sundays only.

Raiders are paying 1/3 of the money to build the stadium and borrowed the rest. They do/will own the stadium eventually

Raiders will do well in Vegas....take that to the bank....

Also Railbird and his band of ticket scalpers will be in Vegas more than ever for Raider games and any event that takes place at the stadium....

The Raiders will do very well in LV. Wouldn’t surprise me if they host a SB within 10’years. The Pro Bowl should move there permanently.
