A domed stadium will not be necessary either, given the near perfect weather year round.

Honestly, I think it is a great idea for them. Tons of people will fly into Vegas to watch a game. Would you rather spend a random weekend in San Diego or Vegas? I think most would rather Vegas.

I don't see San Diego fan base welcoming the Raiders with open arms either. The Chargers just moved up the street a bit and there is plenty of Raider hate in San Diego.

Stadium location is between the MGM Grand and UNLV.
You can gamble in just about every state. There are several casinos 15 minutes from arrowhead.

Betting on games?

No.

I suppose you have to look at everything but I'd think the San Antonio/Austin site would be the best. Granted, you'd have to get approval from the other in state teams but Texas has a huge population and is growing fast.
As an Austinite I would love to be able to see the Chiefs locally each year. The biggest issue will be getting Jerry to agree to it. He doesn't want another team in Texas but obviously 4 teams in California is just fine. :rolleyes:

It's probably going to be the worst home field advantage in the league!

I was going to say Mexico City Raiders, but not far off.

It's a gambling town with adjacent cities several hours away. How would they expect to sell out a stadium?

Pasta Little Brioni 01-29-2016 11:20 AM
So they would go to another location Freighters would be too scurred to go to ROFL He will never see his team now.

It's still very hot in September here, well into October. A retractable roof stadium would be perfect. This city is ready for a pro sports team.

Vegas did put in for an NHL team.

They will go for a permanent dome for all the other events ie concerts, UFC, boxing, conventions, etc.
