    Why? I think there is no better match than the Raiders and Las Vegas. I hope they get it done and get out of that craptastic stadium in Oakland. Maybe then, the A's can then renovate it into a true baseball stadium and everyone is happy.

    They should build America's Funniest Home Video-style remote pads into each seat and include a credit card component to it. Also, include a secondary big screen with real-time gambling options you can bet on the game using the pad. Or, go ahead and just do the mobile app.

    Actually, they'll be competing with the NHL. The Las Vegas Whatevers begin play in the '17-'18 NHL season.

    Still, that probably won't affect NFL attendance. Attendance should be fine. The problem will be opposing fans buying up tickets.

    Raiders in Vegas will be huge, especially if they build the stadium on the south strip. They will immediately become the number one away game travel destination for just about everyone.

    I think that's the grounds where they currently film the American Ninja Warrior national finals.

    I believe it's also funded by investors lead by the Sands corporation.The stadium will bring the Super Bowl and other events to Vegas, maybe World Cup and other events. The people who's going to get hit the most is us the tourists.
