Las Vegas Raiders would be great. Being an AFC team makes it better

Craptacular! posted:Sheldon Adelson, a guy who makes Donald Trump look poor, thinks taxes should pay for 2/3rds of his stadium, in addition to being basically a tax-exempt entity under the same kind of protections given to public facilities. It sucks the rear end in a top hat decided to play around

Ragnarok the Red posted:So is like the potential for the Las Vegas Raiders still just a distant pipe dream? The Sands CEO wants to build a billion dollar stadium for UNLV near the strip that'll seat 65k the teams could share. It'll stop being a distant pipe dream if the asking price for public funds for the stadium goes down. Even then it'll only be a little bit closer distant pipe dream.

Volkerball posted:They should care much less about that than having a young, top tier NFL team coming to Vegas. Playoff games in Vegas would be ridiculous events. No one in Vegas believes this is anything more than leverage because the city has been jerked around by pro teams in the past. Hell, the T-mobile arena is open and we passed all barriers for getting an NHL team and the process has dragged on so long

Don't get me wrong I'd love the Las Vegas Raiders to happen, but jfc you're Adelson you can pay more for the stadium

Volkerball posted:The NHL thing is based around an expansion, not moving an existing team. It's a completely different situation. 2/3 paid off by tourists is a shitload and there will almost certainly be some movement on that front, but if they provide a realistic amount, they're the front runners to get the Raiders. Oakland is providing nothing, and has jerked the team around for like 20 years. San Antonio isn't real. And if Davis was interested in being second class citizens in someone elses stadium, they'd probably be playing at Levi's, so I doubt the team is eager to join in with Kroenke. We'll have to see how the numbers play out, but right now I think Vegas is really plausible, and perhaps the frontrunner. Basically add more private money and find a way to sort out the conflict with the convention center upgrades and get the Raiders. Vegas really fits the outlaw feel of they have

I think everyone needs to know the committee meeting tomorrow can't approve a plan, they can only recommend the plan to the governor. This is only the beginning of the process, not the final one

Right on the strip, block away from a monorail stop, 5 blocks from the UNLV campus. flight paths were a problem in the past but I think they got the ok for this site. not quite sure tho. mgm loving hates this idea it's upstaging the t-mobile arena lol
