I mean, it's the Raiders, so from that perspective I don't mind, but ultimately it's going to be bad for everybody.

I also think that the Raiders have played their last home game. Opposing fans will schedule vacations around their teams playing there, and there will be enough non-Raider fans who'll go just because they want to take in a game that their own base will be drowned out. Also, I don't see the hardcore meatheads from the black hole making it down from Oakland very often.

Believe or not, the Raiders have a huge following in Las Vegas with many of the fans following them once they moved to Los Angeles.

I have a ton of friends that are either Bay Area transplants or Raiders fans from the 80's and 90's from their time in LA. Most of them traveled each year to see them in San Diego and Oakland and truth be told, Vegas is a far better destination than either city due to the casinos and gambling.

That said, I'm in full agreement about their crowd. As I've said from the beginning, it didn't make much sense to move them to Vegas because every opposing team's fans will circle the Raiders on their schedules each year and make plans for a Vegas weekend.

If time permits, I'll likely head to Vegas to watch the Chiefs this season.
