I hope they can start building soon so that the Raiders are in Vegas by 2020. That will be one hell of a Saints road trip.

I know this will make it harder for NOLA to get Super Bowls, but I don't care because road trips to Vegas will be

I'm a Raider fan from Oakland to L.A. back to Oakland.
But this is still "fleecing of America."
I don't know the details but if it approaches the Baron Robbers of the 90's and all their stadium deals...that bankrupted communities and cities with taxes for a goddamn football team...
Count me out.
I hope they just fricking tax tourists and the idiots who want to waste money in Vegas.
Vegas actually has real people who live there and don't give a shite about this stuff but property taxes and income taxes...
How about gambling taxes...make it all that...foreigners and stupid Americans looking to make a quick buck will fund the Raiders....
All gambling taxes.
At least Oakland citizens didn't have to pay for a new stadium of which they couldn't afford because...jeez, Oakland citizens aren't a professional football team with revenue sharing!!!!!!!!!!

You dont pass up moving to the most expensive state of the art stadium of all time with big time backing to stay in the O. co Coliseum

Capitalist NFL owners love them some socialism when it comes to stadiums.

There's no stopping it now, they will be the LV Raiders. I will always be a die hard fan, but this will feel very weird for a while.

As a Vegas resident for the last 14 years, I have to say I'm torn about this. Sure we all want an NFL team here. But that $750mm could have been used in more productive ways for the community than a stadium. Also, I will hate for the Oakland fans to lose their team. There is a very rich tradition for Raiders fans in Oakland.
That said, Super Bowl 2019 in Vegas baby!

The Raiders and Las Vegas go together like peanut butter and jelly

Finally read some info on this,
First question, maybe someone has already answered, but the stadium is said to be projected to cost $1.9 Billion, Mark Davis is kicking in $500 Million, Nevada has approved $750 Million for the project.
That still leaves almost $700 Million left to cover. Where is this money going to come from? Certainly not the NFL. I'm guessing taxpayers will have to cover the rest and the cost-overruns that will surely happen.
So the public will cough up somewhere close to a Billion extra dollars to get this stadium done.
