They did, for the most part. It was a lot of the same people. Add a dome, retractable field, and Vegas colors and they are nearly identical.

So I assume they're using grass instead of turf?
Posted on 11/13/17 at 12:49 pm to LSUlefty
Yes.

Have mercy those mock ups are really neat.

That’s going to be so badass.
Posted on 11/13/17 at 1:03 pm to UltimateHog
Its going to be Fabulous
Posted on 11/13/17 at 1:23 pm to UltimateHog
So are they going to do like Arizona and roll the turf in before each game (and let the grass stay outside the rest of the time)?

I just wonder what percentage away fans will be for these home games.
Vegas is such a good long weekend destination. And generally a cheap flight and hotel destination.

It really is an awesome "Away Game" option for fans who like to travel with their teams

Raiders have a national fan base though right?

Now THIS is a real stadium. Unlike that abomination in ATL.

The neutral site CFB games that take place are going to be fricking awesome
Should have a standing SEC or Big Ten vs PAC 12 type game there

A lot of Raider fans will make a yearly pilgrimage, as well.
A lot of Oakland fans aren’t even mad at the team. The city did NOTHING to prevent the team from moving.
Expect it to be full of Raider fans almost every weekend.

That is bad arse.

Raiders moving to Vegas is one of the best business decisions made in professional sports history.
They’re leaving one of the crappiest cities in the US for one of the most-desirable and financially stable.
The metro area is huge, growing, and will be the #1 trip destination for NFL fans.
I can’t wait to go to the first time the Saints play there. I’m pretty sure people who like to do sports-related travel of the other 30 NFL teams feel the same way.

I agree. I think they will be the clear winners of that situation with them. the Rams and the Chargers. They made the absolute best out of a tough situation
