They can build a palace in the desert and people will pour in to gamble, golf and watch a fb game. Makes a lot more sense business-wise than moving to LA.

When I was younger I would collect baseball and football cards. One of the things I really liked about football was the consistency. Baseball players changed teams more than some people change underwear. I would rather the Raiders stay in Oakland because the "Oakland Raiders" just has a good ring to it. I'd also prefer San Diego to keep the Chargers too, although the Las Vegas Chargers has an interesting ring to it. Think credit card and gambling, lol.

Oakland is a 2nd class citizen in the Bay Area. If they can get a fresh start in LV more power to them. And it has nothing to do with gambling from my perspective as I don't waste my money on it.

Los Angeles doesn't need more than one NFL team. In fact, I don't think any city should. I would much rather see the NFL enter more States than less. I believe one of the great things about the Packers is it is our (our as in Wisconsin) only NFL team and I think that creates a unique level of passion and dedication for a franchise. Of course that is not a rule because you have franchises like the Steelers and Cowboys with multiple NFL teams in their State with a great fan base following.

The Packers are very unique as they CAN'T move the team.
Having that feeling of "owning" the team with no single person owning it makes me at least feel like they are a part of Wisconsin.

Nope. The team can't move except through dissolution of the Packers corporation. All proceeds of the sale of the team (which now would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars) will go to the Green Bay Packers Foundation.

The Raiders need to move somewhere, their (Baseball) Stadium SUCKS Dirt . Even Al Davis knew that he /his team would not get a stadium built in Oakland . They still play on the Oakland Athletics baseball field as Atlanta and Minnesota ready new state of the art facilities .

Las Vegas would bust a gut to get a NFL team like the Raiders . They would build a new Stadium in record time too . [cool]

I am not as sure about Vegas as I was a few weeks ago.


ESPN 


Backers of a proposed NFL stadium said they've whittled their list to two sites just west of the Las Vegas Strip and will refuse to accept any less than $750 million in public funding toward the project, which they hope will soon be home to the Oakland Raiders.

They said the price tag continues to rise and is now $1.9 billion, saying they'd walk away from the project if state lawmakers don't meet their minimum financial demand.

"Not to be difficult, but we're not negotiable," said Sands president Rob Goldstein, who spoke on behalf of billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his family. "If we can't get 750, we respectfully thank you but we're going to move on."

"There's been a lot of conversation on why are we giving money to billionaires," said Steve Hill, chairman of the oversight committee and head of the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development. "The public is not making a contribution to a privately owned stadium."



I suppose some of it is posturing but if I as a Nevada legislator I would be offended and tell them to take a hike.
