You have studies about Vegas? Let's not act like Vegas is the same as other major cities in the country. New Orleans is another one that defies the odds for big events

They're also planning on UNLV home football games to be played there.

Has Oakland done anything to keep them? I never heard of a propasal to keep them.
No, Oakland has given up. They didn't even bother to submit a proposal back in January and this spring Oakland extended the lease at the O.co Coliseum so that the Raiders can still play in Oakland while their new palace is built in Las Vegas since UNLV's stadium is too small for the NFL. The Raiders will be in Las Vegas by 2020.

Who the F would want the trash degenerate fan base envading your town?
Was around them last weekend, wow I just thought saints fans were scum of the earth.

why doesn't it look like a gigantic a-hole?
Because once the Raiders move out of Oakland, the Falcons will be the a-hole of the NFL.

Sacramento Kings?
Nope, they have a brand new arena opening next year.

Which team moves there?
The only team that I could see moving would be the Clippers moving to Las Vegas, when their lease is up in 2024. Once the Lakers get good again, the Clippers will be the bottom of the LA sports scene again.

Not that big of a deal and everyone in town make more money because of it
Really, because almost every single study says just the opposite.
That is because every single study looks at all of the stadiums. Of course the #'s never match when you throw in public financing for outdoor football and baseball stadiums because of their limited scheduling abilities. Domed or retractable roof multipurpose stadiums make a lot more money because they can be used for so many other things in addition to football. Then when you add in the fact that it is a destination city so the tax bill is mostly being paid by tourists instead of residents it becomes a good deal.
