I just don't see how Vegas can support a NFL team consistently
I don't know much about the town, but how does their population stack up against other cities with NFL franchises?? Vegas can't have the population of places like LA, Miami, Detroit, etc

Population is probably ok at 2mil. But the problem is such a large portion of the locals being in the service industry meaning they don't work the typical 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. Many of your dealers, hotel managers, hotel clerks, bartenders, waiters, etc... will be working on NFL Sundays. So it will depend a lot on So Cal fans traveling and road team fans.
