I don't know where Davis is getting $500M to contribute to new stadium. That sucks 3 teams will have moved in 2 years. Was hoping Raiders would go to LA. Chargers stay in SD. Dunno about Jaguars. Probably 50-50 whether they stay.


Why are the Jaguars constantly in discussions like this? I never hear the owner ever mention anything about moving. Just because of playing games in London? They just sunk a ton of money into the stadium in Jacksonville.

Goddell told Jaguars season ticket holders that London could support a team.

I feel bad for the Oakland fans, but Oakland didn't even submit a plan to keep the Raiders. The city of Oakland does not deserve to keep them.



The idea that a city doesn't deserve a team because they're not going to use hundreds of millions of taxpayer money to dump into a free business makes me sick.

I wonder how different the league would look if the teams were owned by the fans and city instead of the franchise model we have.

Yeah, I get all that. But I'd rather see them go back to LA over Las Vegas. It would piss me off if my team kept moving every 2 decades, especially if it was another state or market the team has no ties to.



many los angelenos consider Las Vegas as a playground or home away from home. i'd imagine plenty of people in the bay area feel the same way.

if i was a raider fan in the bay area i'd be a lot more content with the team going to Vegas as opposed to los angeles. shite i live in LA and i was an LA raiders fan growing up but i'd rather see the team move to vegas than back to LA

the raiders are a brand. With fans along the west coast you don't dump it because you moved cities. Vegas is a short trip away from both LA and Oakland


They should always just be The Raiders

Raiders have a pretty large national fan base.

Vegas would be popular with raider fans throughout the country, as well as fans of visiting teams.

I honestly think raiders in Vegas would be good for the entire league.

Surprised that San Diego has not been leveraging the Vegas market.

It would be sweet to have a team here in Vegas. I don't like the Raiders but I'd still go to some games. Especially if the Saints visit.
