Mr. WEO Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Raiders commit to Vegas, offer $500 million for stadium: 4 things to know That article is careful to point out that Davis hasn't really committed anything and that he can back out of any plan at any time.
Best Player Available Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Mark Davis kind of looks like this guy With the exception this dude has better hair.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 That article is careful to point out that Davis hasn't really committed anything and that he can back out of any plan at any time. Forever the contrarian.
Mr. WEO Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Forever the contrarian. Maybe. But you posted the article...
Saxum Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 does Vegas even have the population for an NFL team? 2M in LV metro area.

Best Player Available Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 2M in LV metro area. Plus a couple of bus loads from Furnace Creek!
machine gun kelly Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 This is really scaring my liver four years from now when we play them in Las Vegas given they are coming to Buffalo this year. That would be a fun road trip as my oldest son will be 21.

Augie Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Vegas does have a few hotel rooms. Tom Brady's dad could even go.
chris heff Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I am convinced that after the debacle that was the 2007 NBA All Star game, no professional franchise would ever be located in Las Vegas. I'll believe it when I see it.
Saxum Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Vegas mayor: 'Not getting played' by Raiders http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25583352/the-las-vegas-mayor-thinks-the-las-vegas-raiders-will-happen I think if Oakland does not step up and get a new stadium (and I do not thinks bonds on old stadium are paid off yet) the Raiders move to LV. If THAT happens they should rename the team IMO.

That would be a fun road trip as my oldest son will be 21. Maybe the Sabres will be playing there the same weekend. Great doubleheader!
machine gun kelly Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 You know they'll have the hottest cheerleaders in the league, and that's saying something given the three FL teams are not exactly old maids. I'd hate to see them rename the Raiders, and doubt Mark Davis would ever do that. They are always tied with Dallas of the most jersey sales. Besides my favorite NFL song by far is "The Autumn Wind is a Raider, pillaging just for fun, he'll knock you round and upside down, and laugh when he's conquered and won" C'mon, who does not love that freakin song? I just wish the Bills had something like that. Shout just doesn't have the same effect.
Mark Vader Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Will 24 owners approve of this? Does Davis even need ownership approval?
Saxum Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Will 24 owners approve of this? Does Davis even need ownership approval? His father didn't care, he'd do it anyways.
