A plan to use $750 million in tax payer funds for an NFL stadium in Las Vegas cleared the Nevada Legislature, and will head to the desk of the governor.

The Raiders’ owner Mark Davis released a statement today, essentially cementing the move from Oakland to Sin City.

“I would like to thank Governor Sandoval, the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee, and the members of the Nevada Legislature on this historic day. All parties have worked extremely hard to develop and approve this tremendous stadium project that will serve as a proud new home for the entire Raider Nation.”

Vegas finally broke through and garnered an NHL expansion team starting in 2017, and now it appears the Raiders will find a perfect home in the desert.

It’s been a difficult year for Oakland fans. First, they blew a 3 – 1 lead with the unanimous MVP in the NBA Finals, and now their football team is heading for the bright lights of Las Vegas.

i wonder if this Las Vegas franchise will be allowed to pick in the top 10 for their first 5 years of existence like the NHL team is.

Now we just need the Chargers to get something worked out in San Diego so the Rams can be the single NFL entity in the city of Los Angeles as it should be.

Easy, man. He's just giving his opinion.
Are you saying there's no debauchery in Vegas though?
It's not a party atmosphere?
Raiders fans aren't among the most raucous?

Seems like a fairly good marriage.

May have overreacted a bit

No more than anywhere else.
Just more up front about it.

No, they're not, they just dress funny.

But yes, I DO think Sin City and the Raiders are a match made in heaven...(or maybe somewhere else)...and hope it happens.

Are you looking forward to them coming to town, or do you not really care?
