[justsomedude]

And with Broncos as division rivals, I now have a new excuse to go to Vegas each fall!

With the announcement this week, I really want to fly over there for the draft. Bellagio fountains and boats transferring players in, just wow.

I think the Raiders got screwed in the LA deal. I hope they are super successful in Las Vegas.

They'll be successful $-wise, but I doubt they'll be successful scoring-wise... as they'll literally never have a true home game ever again.

People will be flying in from all over to see their own home teams playing in Vegas, and the locals will probably be more than happy to unload tickets at inflated prices to those NFL fan tourists.

I actually feel a little bad for the Raiders.

They did it to themselves. Mark Davis has got to be the poorest owner so he had to sell out.

 

[StewbieDoo]

we are going to have to give this time to settle. Take a look at the Golden Knights. You may not have a more passionate atmosphere than that arena. The move is going to be very successful money wise but I am interested to see the player pool they can get. Will be free agents want to move to play in Vegas?

Now that I am writing this, of course they will be pulled to Vegas who am I kidding.

That stadium is going to be insane and it's a perfect excuse to go to Vegas to gamble and watch football haha.

I don’t know the numbers but I gotta imagine half of Cleveland would fly into Vegas for a Browns game whereas how many people from Calgary are flying in for Wednesday night hockey?

Hey... I never said the Broncos were good. Just that the Raiders are bad.

The battle of 2 crappy teams. Should be fun

They might score 21 total points if we're lucky...LMAO!!

Sweet! More sports chips to collect. I love all the Knights chips on the MGM properties.

 

[justsomedude]

HAHAHAHA

In fairness, I’d be willing to bet that stadium will be sold out and at capacity crowds for all NFL games for at least 10 years straight.

It just depends on what your definition of “success” is... Owners will profit, and players will score massive contracts.

Win-win with a losing record?

 

[Saoliver]

Will there be a casino in the stadium? Or at least slots?

Can’t wait for whenever the Seahawks play a road game there. I mean, they play the Raiders in preseason every year but I’m not paying for those games.

That's fair. NFL teams basically print money, and the Browns and Lions make money being pathetic losers.

I was throwing shade at the idea of the Raiders ever being relevant again whatever city they are in. Spoiler, they won't.

Think of all the fun Antonio Brown is missing out on. A perfect place where being batshit crazy is normal.

I drafted that bitch on my fantasy team. Cringed when I did it. AB cost me money!

 

[Mongoose]

The Radaaazz! If you think the Vegas strip is crowded now, wait till game days! You can almost touch the stadium driving on the fwy. It’ll definitely be successful. Like many have said, another great excuse to go to Vegas!

Why have I never seen pictures of said Knights chips. I would be down for some if anybody has some or wants to harvest.

Raider fans from Oakland and LA overrunning Vegas. Lord helps us!

 

[BarrieJ3]

Can’t stand the move. Hate being a fan. Guess it’s a least an excuse to be in Vegas though. Will be there opening game.

 

[Mac128k]

Good riddance!
