Leperflesh posted:Some of the money spent building the stadium will go to like, contractors and workers and stuff though, right? Obviously the profits go to owners and the interest on the loans the local government takes out come from taxes (on tourists) but... oh, I guess a lot of out of town labor would be used, and probably the steel beams and stuff aren't manufactured in Vegas. But still there has to be at least a little bit of local construction that gets stimulated by the spend? yep. hopefully they don't use a big blue crane.

Zurreco posted:Mark Davis is a legitimate ignoramus. I've got nothing against Hunt, though. he just looks like it, but he's been a fantastic owner. he knows his place in the team hierarchy and doesn't get involved where he shouldn't, but he's intervened in other times when it was the right thing to do.

Craptacular! posted:Word is they aren't giving up. I guess they have until the vote in March to try to get it together. The relocation figure you're referring to was the one the NFL put on Spanos and Kroenke for their moves to LA. It's dictated by the NFL each time based on the circumstances. We have no idea what an LV relocation fee would be yet, but it should be pointed out that Kroenke and Spanos are both billionaires, and both stood to gain a lot by getting into LA, so the relocation fee reflected that.

Still mostly quiet as we wait for the owners meeting next month, but there's been some news.quote:There was some news last week that the group lead by Ronnie Lott which is pursuing the last minute “Save Oakland” deal for a Raiders stadium in the Bay Area was being bought out.

Was just coming to post that article lol. Two owners said the Raiders have 27-28 votes in pocket for the move. Relocation fee would be in the mid 300 million range.

Grittybeard posted:Oakland having no plan seems like it's not news. I think that article describes it best. All things being equal, the owners would want the Raiders to stay in Oakland. That's very clearly been the case all along. That they look to be ok with the move is the clearest evidence you could get that Oakland isn't buying.

The deal involving the public funding was focused around a raise in hotel taxes. There's nothing that says the local government would've agreed to the same tax increase for something that wasn't a stadium, because they could've already done it and they hadn't. So it's not true that all the money is coming out of "the pot." A lot of it wasn't in the pot to begin with, so it's not like school funding is going to feel the impact of that.

Ragnarok the Red posted:I really don't see the problem with them playing in Sam Boyd a couple years if the Chargers can at StubHub, which seats like 5000 fewer people. They were talking about renovating Sam Boyd to meet NFL regulations, but I have no idea what the regulations are if StubHub qualifies. Like "has grass" or some poo poo. Maybe they got an exemption for StubHub since they all knew the Chargers leave was going to be ugly.

Konstantin posted:Elite soccer teams won't play on any kind of artificial turf, so it's probably to tap into that revenue source. European teams don't play here much, and when they do, it's some generic rear end The US Make Believe Cup that no one cares about. Basically preseason games. I got tickets for a Manchester United game in Denver for like $120 in seats that would go for $1300+ for an NFL game, and as far as I know, it's the only even like that Denver has ever hosted.

Pretty sure the chargers had until next off-season to decide for sure whether they were going to LA lol. With the Raiders ending up going to Vegas there was no reason for them to rush this and end up in this dumb situation.
