Las Vegas Raiders?
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14...ng-leaked-memo

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- While a leaked memo from UNLV president Len Jessup said representatives of the Oakland Raiders will be in Las Vegas on Friday to check out potential stadium sites, team owner Mark Davis would offer only a cryptic comment.

"In typical Raider fashion," Davis said with a laugh over the phone from the Bay Area, "I can neither confirm nor deny."

Davis will be in Las Vegas and is scheduled to meet with Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson, Sands spokesman Ron Reese confirmed.

The Sands Corp. announced Thursday that it was lending its support to build a $1 billion domed stadium on a vacant 42 acres of land recently purchased by UNLV near the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Koval Lane across from McCarran International Airport.

"Correspondingly, the Sands leadership team let us know that officials from the Oakland Raiders are scheduled to travel to Las Vegas and tour locations around the valley for a potential new home, and they have asked us to meet them at our 42-acre site on Friday morning to answer questions about that site," Jessup wrote in the memo, which was reported earlier by Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston.

UNLV is looking for a new home for its football program, which has played at 35,500-seat Sam Boyd Stadium some nine miles from campus on the eastern edge of the city since 1971.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Los Angeles-based Majestic Realty Co. and UNLV are involved in the conceptual plans, and Las Vegas Sands senior vice president of government relations and community development Andy Abboud said the project would be a "public-private" partnership, with the Sands or the Adelson family contributing a large portion of the financing.

"He said the casino company, which operates the Venetian and Palazzo [casinos], as well as casinos in Macau, Singapore and Pennsylvania, could also raise financing for the project," the Review-Journal reported.

Tony Sanchez, UNLV's head football coach, said "having an on-campus, state-of-the-art stadium would be huge."

"We have a nice stadium now; the location is just a little further out," said Sanchez, who grew up a die-hard Raiders fan in the Bay Area. "To have something on campus, right in the heart of Las Vegas, would change the entire game-day atmosphere. We're right near the Strip. People can walk or take public transportation. It would be a great addition for the city."

Davis has long stated that remaining in Oakland is his primary goal, but after being rebuffed in an attempt to move to Los Angeles and join the Chargers in a joint-stadium project in nearby Carson, the Raiders do not have a lease for a home stadium for the 2016 season. They do have the option to join the Rams in Inglewood should the Chargers decline.

It is expected that the Raiders will play at least the 2016 season in Oakland. They have also been linked to San Diego, should the Chargers go to Los Angeles, for the following years as well as to San Antonio.

The NFL has had a hard line against Las Vegas, and it is hard to see the league signing off on allowing a team to relocate to the gambling capital of the country. The NFL did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Las Vegas has chased a major league franchise for almost two decades, including MLB and NBA teams. The city appears close to getting an NHL team in under-construction T-Mobile Arena between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo casinos.

And while Las Vegas may be a relatively small media market at No. 41 nationally, it is bigger than four other current NFL markets in Jacksonville (No. 48), New Orleans (No. 51), Buffalo (No. 52) and Green Bay (No. 68), per last year's Nielsen data.

I think that this is a great move for the NFL but I'm not so sure it's a great move for the Raiders team.

Chargers and Rams games are at least 40% in favor of the opponent. I've actually been to Chargers games when there were more Chiefs fans than Chargers fans. The same thing happens when the Raiders visit San Diego. It's at least 50/50, if not more, slanted in favor of the Raiders.

I can easily see that trend extend to Las Vegas and hell, it might even be worse.

I'm not sure how that helps the team on the field.

It wont help, but it probably wont be detrimental to them. If they end up sucking on the field then that issue will be in the forefront, but as far as selling tickets goes Vegas should fair better than Oakland if the team is sh1t. There are a handful of teams in the NFL that have a national fan base. The Raiders are one of them. Put it this way if the Raiders are winning they are a natural bandwagon magnet like the Cowboys, Steelers, Packers.

They already have a fan base there. When I lived in Nevada the Raiders were probably the most followed team followed by the 49ers, Broncos and of course the Cowboys.

The issue isn't so much with the "fan base" as much as it is with the ticket scalpers.

I don't know what it's like where you live but it's a full on business here. I'm sure the PSL's will be outrageously priced, leaving the brokers to buy up a huge portion of the seats and sell them at exorbitant prices.

People looking to take a vacation won't care about the prices but the locals will.

This seems like a good opportunity for Raider fans to finally have a good reason to leave the shit hole that IS Oakland.

They should be thrilled.

Thrilled I say!

Las Vegas doesn't help the owners when renegotiating their next TV deal in 2020, as Oakland is the 6th largest media market and Vegas is the 40th.

TV money rules all, so it may not be shocking to see this voted down.

Don't peddle that nonsense, Oakland isn't the 6th largest market. It's part of the Bay which is already covered by the 49ers. If Oakland leaves it won't mean the #6 market is empty, GMAFB

Every owner likes this idea because it will make more money for the league.

Plus you end up changing the ownership of the team a bit.
