How is this not a win for all involved? I know tourism and gambling has been down in Vegas for the last 10 years or so, getting an NFL team will definitely help reinvigorate the local economy

All that's needed now is owner approval, correct?

Yep.

With Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft supporting, I don't see how they don't approve it.

Assembly passed by 1 vote is what's crazy.

I'm still not sure that this is going to happen. I know all signs look that way, but the NFL made some players cancel appearances with some DFS conventions last year.

If it does, great, if it doesn't great. Because as soon as any type of scandal comes out the NFL is in trouble.

Same place they currently play, they have 1 year lease options for quite awhile. Stadium will be done for 2019 season.

the stadium might go faster since they don't have to do any clearing on the land

I'm so torn about this as a raiders fan but at least it will actually be nice to go to raiders games now

Everything I have read suggest that the Raiders will not play any games in Las Vegas (potentially at like Sam Boyd Stadium) until 2020. I can't imagine them really playing three years in Oakland with the fans knowing that the team will be gone. Look how well it worked out for the Titans in Memphis.
