Kirby Jackson Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 The Bills voted for the Rams moving back to LA.That's why I wasn't sure. I also didn't know on the Chargers.
Gregsbills 74 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 After listening to Vegas locals talk about the raiders coming to town, they've convinced me this move will fail. This commissioner is showing again why he needs to go. The Chargers will fail in LA and the jags will fail in London too

Rocky Landing Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Unless you deal cards, serve drinks/food or clean up after people...there's no solid reason to be in Vegas for more than 3 days. I'd much, much, MUCH rather live in Vegas than Phoenix.
Saxum Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 New Raiders slogan: Just Sin, Baby! Since fans want to keep the name we need a new name for them. "Sin City Maulers" would work.
vincec Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Good luck getting fan support for the next three lame duck seasons in Oakland. Three seasons of terrible attendance and no home field advantage coming up. Nice work.
Mr. WEO Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I'd much, much, MUCH rather live in Vegas than Phoenix. Well.....Jeez. Once you're off the strip, can you tell the difference?

Nick the Greek Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I always feel bad for a fan base which loses its team. I've heard that the Oakland Coliseum was a total dump tho. That's what it boiled down to. Vegas is going to build them a new modern beautiful stadium. Side note: I heard that the Chargers stadium was awful too. This makes me happy NYS and the Bills put $200 million into the Ralph a couple years ago. At the end of the day, Oakland politicians are to blame. Will it be better for the citizens of Oakland tho? To be determined! Edited March 28, 2017 by Idandria

Raiders staff gets 50% off https://twitter.com/mickakers/status/846515047094374400 A Raiders Themed Brothel Is Opening In Las Vegas Because Of Course http://uproxx.com/sports/raiders-las-vegas-brothel-nfl/ The NFL has addressed the issue of sports gambling, which it maintains it is still against, but one thing they probably didn’t think about was legal brothels in Las Vegas taking advantage of the Raiders’ move. Will the NFL allow him to advertise on NFL games? Remember this is legal and gambling is not only vice players need to watch out for. He previously offered 50% rate to NFL rookies. The Raiders will have a good pool of cheerleader candidates to choose from.
Mark Vader Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Since fans want to keep the name we need a new name for them. "Sin City Maulers" would work. Nah! Make them the Las Vegas Outlaws. Rod Smart can be the mascot.
Domdab99 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I'd much, much, MUCH rather live in Vegas than Phoenix. This. I've lived in Vegas for 13 years. Love it. For example, I just got home from playing poker and tomorrow, I'm playing golf.

long suffering bills fan Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) After listening to Vegas locals talk about the raiders coming to town, they've convinced me this move will fail. This commissioner is showing again why he needs to go. The Chargers will fail in LA and the jags will fail in London too I moved to Las Vegas in 2001. Since then, I have seen that this town has been starved for professional sports. There are many transplanted Californians in Las Vegas that are excited about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas. Also, with this being a destination city, visiting fans will make a pilgrimage here to see their favorite team play. What would cause a team to fail? The Raiders had very bad attendance in recent years until they started winning. The 49ers attendance has been abysmal. Jacksonville has had poor attendance. With the TV revenue and other income streams, attendance is a secondary factor in the success of an NFL franchise. The only reason teams are moving now is because they can not get public financing for a new stadium Las Vegas set a record for the amount of public financing provided by the home city. $750,000,000. Local reporters are hailing this as the biggest thing to ever hit the city of Las Vegas. UNLV will benefit by playing in a world class stadium and may be able to eventually move to a power 5 conference. Not to mention that every Friday there is a steady stream of Californians clogging westbound Interstate15 from Los Angeles. Many of which are Raider fans. Many locals are transplants and have loyalties with teams in their previous home towns are so excited and state that the Raiders are now their second favorite team. NASCAR just awarded this city a 2nd annual race because the spring race is now one of the most profitable and well attended race on their schedule. As a sidebar, a local ESPN affiliate was figuring the 2020 Raiders schedule and thinks that the Bills could be playing a game in Vegas that year. The Las Vegas Raiders will not only succeed, they may become the new "America's Team" You can bet on it! Edited March 28, 2017 by long suffering bills fan
