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 the Fertittas owning a NFL team is a lovely idea.

lmao if you aren't hyped as f for a football game in Vegas.

There should be sports book betting from your seat and slot machines in bathrooms.

Who cares if it's the Raiders? At least Chiefs fans won't have to fear traveling to Raiders games anymore.

This stadium will sell out based on visiting teams alone. I know I'm going every year for Chiefs / Raiders. F yes I am.

As a Vegas Chiefs fan, Im fully on board. I might even consider chipping in on season tix just so I have my seats for Chiefs every year, and any playoff game that might involve the Chiefs, and if a Super Bowl comes here? Im so on it. Plus, I work at a radio station that includes ESPN and FOX sports, so financially, its a good deal. It would be great for this city too. NFL, dont care who it is, will be good for Vegas. The impossible becomes the possible-Super Bowls, World Cups etc...Its all possible with a NFL team and a stadium like the one they are looking to build.

Right?

I needed a legit reason to go to Vegas once a year. Done and done.

I'm going to open up a stand in vegas that sells the reeruned Halloween costume shit we always see at Oakland games. I wonder if Vegas raider fans will be as shitbaggish as the Oakland trash.

Good news is you can probably place a bet right from your seats as to whether or not the guy next to you is on parole or not or if hell stab someone in the parking lot afterwards.

My guess is they would probably be worse. Factor in the gambling and booze. I could see more people getting stabbed.

Considering most of the stadium will probably be filled with high rollers, the opposing teams fans, and people with serious $ due to whats its probably gonna cost to go to a game, I highly doubt it'll be like it was in Oakland.

Yup. The more I hear about this, the more I hate it. I'm ok with San Diego because nobody in that city gives a shit about their team. As much as I hate Oakland, hating the Raiders means hating the black hole. I'm a fan of a team in Vegas. Not the Raiders.

Raiders will attract far more talent in every aspect of the organization with this move.
