Raiders Moving to Las Vegas
ByMike Petras
Posted on October 14, 2016
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.
