Las Vegas Raiders? Team officials scheduled to travel to Sin City

Vegas will always be an events town not a pro sports town but I actually think the NFL and a schedule of just 8+ home games a year is the only pro league that could pull it off....

Should have happened a long time ago ... a team in Vegas makes sense.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Better off in San Antonio, if they're going to move from Oakland.

7th largest city, same color scheme as the Spurs and they're known to feverishly support their team, which is well, the Spurs.

A future super bowl in vegas sounds good

 

[pheenix11]

The NFL will never allow this because...

wait for it...

Integrity

I'd go to that one... and not remember a damn thing.

 

[Joker]

HELL YEAH!~!!

Krafty Bob needs to support this 100%...

Integrity

Refresh my memory please, but didn't Al Davis already win that fight?

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Pats SB in Vegas...booking my flight from providence now

 

[JPsPats]

Well Vegas is about to get an NHL team so why not add an NFL team too!

 

[Jackson 2]

Now, there's a great place to raise one's family...

 

[Joker]

Man, think about it...now THERE'S some freakin' cheerleaders to look forward to...the Vegas Vixens

 

[RecoveringCowboy]

I would not bet on it.

Not really....not too many people grow up there. In my opinion it's actually a horrible idea. It's a transient city like Atlanta. Go for Vancouver or OKC or San Antonio.

I would say move them to London but I think they would rather have the Jaguars.

 

[goheels22002]

The main issue I see is that we'd never see Tom Brady or Bill Belichick again after the Patriots' first road game against the Raiders because...

what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

(They can keep Marcus Cannon.)

Al Davis isn't walking through that door, fans. And if you expect him to walk through that door, he's going to be dead and decomposing.

 

[RayClay]

I hope they move half the teams all over into untested markets here and in other countries and they all fail because Goodell is a lazy douche with no brains who does things on impulse instead of sound planning - and it's enough to get him canned.

It'll still be worth it even if it takes his successor ten years to clean up the mess.

It's scary to think of a zombie Davis walking through that door. you're giving me nightmares.

How about the "integrity of the NFL"????

How will we explain this to the children?? When families stay on the strip and the first person they meet will be trying to sell their sister or mother or father...
