The final tally to send the Raiders to Las Vegas: 31-1

[Super_Kazuya]

In 4 years I am for sure going. Never been to an NFL game. I just won't wear my Dallas gear because I don't feel like getting stabbed.

Make that eight years...

Make that eight years...

We play in Oakland this year don't we? Probably won't go then. Doubt I'll care as much in 8 years.

Yes, at Oakland this year and as is customary for all AFC teams it's 8 years between visits.

Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

750m pledged in public funding. How many decades do you think that'll take to recoup from having an NFL team?

Stupid. I hope the Raiders turn out to be insolvent.

Las Vegas goes from 0 pro teams to 2 in a matter of a year. I'll be curious to see if it works out. It's a decent size metro but is it really a "sports town" kind of market? I guess we will find out.

T-Mobile Arena!! they'd pack that thing. punts to the ceiling over/under prop bets!

Sad news, I'm in the East Bay and my best chance to watch NFL games is at Raiders games...would never put myself through the hell it takes to go to Levi.

I did a quick Google search; found at least 4 stabbings involving gameday Raider fans. Rare, yes, but definitely within bounds of possibility. A risk worth considering.

That's gang on gang violence. Just attending a Raiders game doesn't mean you have a chance of being stabbed.

Jerry will never get another Super Bowl here. It was too much of a mess the first time and now there will be better options in LA, Las Vegas, Atlanta, SF, Minneapolis, along with the usual cities of Miami, New Orleans, and Glendale.

I went to SF last year, so I think I'll skip Oakland. Now in 2025, when they play in Vegas, that I might go to.

None of the articles mentioned gangs. All of the incidences occurred in the stadium or parking lot. It's ridiculous to argue otherwise.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Why's it got be 8 years until the play the Cowboys there man? It'll be a whole different Cowboys team by then.

If Oakland breaks the two leases with the Raiders, will local courts find for the City-County Sports Authority against the team?

 

[slomoxn]

Thought they would play at UNLV stadium if they moved?

Please no, stadium sucks.

 

[Hardline]

The question is will the people of Vegas forgo casinos for football?
This could end up being a big fat fail.

 

[HappyOnions]

Raiders fans are minor league. Come to upstate NY and watch a game!

I'm guessing I still won't get great cell service in there. Haha

i wonder if those stabbings were between rival gang members
