BREAKING: NFL approves Raiders move to Vegas.

Vegas get an NBA team and they're prime-time.

Shit, if Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Orlando can support teams, why cant Vegas?
I don't think the economy here can support it.. most people keep forgetting that the Las Vegas strip is not in Las Vegas it's in an unincorporated area.. The city of Las Vegas doesn't start until you cross Sahara going north past the stratosphere.

The Raiders will never have another home game
 
wow seems like they will go to Vegas and STILL be called the Oakland Raiders for as long as they want.
 
Wait, what?!

yup sometime of bullsh*t

they still on the that lease and then Schefter asked what about the Oakland part of the name?

Goddell is like they are STILL calling themselves that until they decide otherwise.

I need someone to explain that to me.

they SHOULD lose the entire name OAKLAND RAIDERS.

That's dumb. You want the new city to support the team, but you're allowing that team to use the old city's name? That's like marrying a chick that has her ex's name tattooed on her breast.

The Oakland Raiders of Las Vegas. It's already been done in baseball.

and get THIS

they are STILL not sure how long it will take to LEAVE

they may need MORE than 3 years but they may not have an existing lease...

imagine IF Oakland decided to screw them over?

like tax them?

Or raise the rent?

:lol:
 
Didn't you post your sausage DIABETUS stricken fingers here? Never seen stretch marks on knuckles before that...
my fingers are fine, my health is fine and life is good. my girlfriend don't compain about anything about me, my girlfriend is also a well known clothing designer from Africa and she is beautiful. I don't know about you but things are good on my end.
 
How much of a shock is this? The Coliseum has been a dump for at least 15 years; who else in the NFL in the 21st century was playing at least half their games on a field that was 30% baseball diamond?
 
Right
fuck the raiders

the public's CHOSEN ignorance on stuff like THIS, Kap, Bowl games, college sports, CTE, domestic violence etc...

doesn't that sh*t just drive you INSANE????

People CANNOT be this stupid!

they gonna SEE they getting played from EVERY angle right?

They MORE mad about a knee and a player taking a game off?

NFL approves move of Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas
Sam FarmerContact Reporter


The Raiders are Las Vegas-bound.

By a 31-1 vote Monday, NFL owners approved the Raiders’ plan to relocate from Oakland to Las Vegas, where the club intends to build a $1.6-billion stadium to open in 2020. The plan calls for the Raiders to remain in Oakland while their new stadium is being constructed.


The decision paves the way for the league’s third relocation in 14 months, and comes on the heels of the Rams and Chargers moving to Los Angeles.


Chargers have sold out of season tickets for games at StubHub Center in 2017

In February, the Raiders appeared to suffer a devastating setback when both casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson and investment banking firm Goldman Sachs, who originally were heavily involved with the financing of the project, backed away from the plan. But earlier this month, the Raiders revealed Bank of America had stepped in and is ready to bankroll the stadium. That was a significant comeback for the Raiders and the NFL, considering Nevada’s Legislature had green-lighted $750 million last fall for the project by way of an increased hotel tax.



Peter King of TheMMQB.com notes there is a synchronicity to this relocation. The late Al Davis spent 22 years in Oakland before moving to Los Angeles in 1982 when he couldn’t get a satisfactory stadium deal done. The Raiders, now owned by Al’s son, Mark, moved back to Oakland in 1995, have been there 22 years, and now are moving for stadium reasons.
