Approved 31-1 by the owners - Oakland is toast.

Not a bad venue for a pro sports team. I always thought the NBA would do well there.

Mark Davis (Al's son) was quoted as saying to the fans: Don't blame the coaches, the players or the office... this was my decision.
Basically ...get over it.
The stadium is expected to open in 2020 at the cost of about 2 billion dollars.
You would think with that kind of money, he'd have a better looking haircut

He ain't foot the bill for that. Only about $750M of his own.

3 years of playing left in Oakland... Should make for good attendance figures...

Looks like a sure bet.

Of course if odds were given on Gatorchatter Sportsbook I'd probably blow it. This coming from a guy with $80 Ox bucks.

He's been trying to get a new stadium deal for a while, but wanted to be cheap about his costs. I remember him trying to get the 49ers to share but didn't want to pay his part from what I heard. That being said I think a NFL team is the only one that can be successful in Vegas with the 8 game schedule and should have great attendance there as a tourist destination. Wonder how much if any they rebrand. Lots of rappers are sad today

They'll probably have sellouts routinely. Visiting teams' fans will be a large portion of their attendance.

Am I the only one who finds the Raiders fascinating over their ability to always double down on bad moves?
