It's going to be kind of shitty when the Raiders have a better stadium than us

Vegas was awarded an NHL franchise and if they build this stadium for the Raiders, the NBA won't be far behind.

“Not to be difficult, but we’re not negotiable,” said Sands President Rob Goldstein, who spoke on behalf of billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his family. “If we can’t get 750, we respectfully thank you but we’re going to move on.”

being publicly owned doesn't matter, it just means the public is left holding the bag while the terms ensure the investors get rich

Sheldon Anderson can afford to build his own stadium
