    If it wasn't for that then Nashville wouldn't have a team.


    Eventually it will hit a saturation point, at least for a while. Only so many cities willing to pony up that kind of money.

    Hard to convince cities (tax payers) to give a large portion of money to fund stadiums that cost over a billion dollars.

    What I don't get is the Raiders owner pledged 500 million towards their new stadium add that to the 350 million relocation fee (the rams and chargers paid 650million each)...850 million. When the Raiders first started talking about relocating the estimate for their new stadium was 800 million.

    Of course now they're planning a stadium I'm sure will be over a billion and be partially funded by tax payers in Vegas.

    Mostly funded by the tourists who stay at hotels. I believe it was made as a hotel tax.

    I think it's a smart move...suddenly, a Raiders away game becomes THE GAME for every visiting team fan to go to....where before it would be the LAST place....literally that you would choose to make a road trip to.

    Not full, but I take your point....my point is that suddenly playing the raiders is NOW THE ROAD GAME TO GO TO. I know I will after the stadium is built.

    As soon as that stadium is built... hosting Super Bowl won't be far behind.

    I actually do wonder what Vegas will be like that week/weekend. Not sure how it is in February to begin with... would some people actually avoid that time knowing there will potentially be even more crowds?

    Curious.

    Be funny if it turns out to be a "bad" week for Vegas... not the usual crowds.
