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.

Raiders want to play in $1.9 billion Las Vegas stadium for $1 per year

If the Raiders relocate, they'll transition from the older, rugged Coliseum in Oakland to a shiny, new, and expensive stadium in Las Vegas. While that stadium will cost a ton of money to build, it might not cost the Raiders much to actually occupy it. On Thursday, the Raiders filed a proposed lease to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, the Raiders proposed to pay $1 in annual rent. To be clear, that's $1 a year to play football in a $1.9 billion stadium. As the Review-Journal pointed out, the amount of money teams spend on rent varies across the league. The 49ers pay more than $20 million, the Seahawks pay $1 million, and some teams don't pay anything. For what it's worth, the Raiders spent $3.5 million on rent in 2016. But there's a bigger financial issue that needs to be resolved, and it has nothing to do with rent. If you're still wondering how the $1.9 billion stadium will be paid for, you're not alone. As the Mercury News reported, the funding is still in question. To be exact, $650 million is still up in the air:

The current deal includes $750 million from a hotel tax approved by lawmakers and signed by Gov. Brian Sandoval and a $500 million contribution from the Raiders and NFL. But the sticking point has been a $650 million investment from the Adelson family, which owns the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.

The relationship with billionaire Sheldon Adelson remains a hurdle because NFL rules prohibit casino owners from having an ownership stake in a team. The Adelson family wants a percentage of the Raiders as part of the stadium deal.

Of course, the Raiders could still remain in Oakland. Earlier this month, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Raiders are planning to file relocation paperwork, but the team still needs the NFL owners to approve the move in late March. They'd need 24 owners to vote in favor of relocation in order to move.

I don't see the problem with that. The city of Las Vegas will make its money back and thensome within the next 2 billion years.

You don't see a "problem" with an NFL team paying in $1 in rent to a city that just built a $1.9 billion dollar stadium that will use it, at most, 13 days a year?

What?

The Seahawks pay $1 million. The 49ers pay $20 million.

The Raiders only want to spend $1 dollar.

The article said some teams don't pay any rent. I wonder if they own the stadiums they play in.

Just an opening offer. You don't think Vegas would be dumb enough to fall for it do you?

Now it looks like the Adelson family is now backing out. Raiders made a secret contract. Seems very "Raideresique" thing to do. I don't see the Raiders moving.
