It seems like this has an actual chance to become a reality. I live in Vegas and I have to say if this happens I might have to step over to the darkside.
The Cowboys will always be my passion. But I do like to root for a few other teams especially in the AFC. I grew up in Missouri so I like the Chiefs but damn the Vegas Raiders would be sick!

I think it happens. But talk about distractions... living and playing in Vegas would be tough for the unfocused individual.

Welcome to the Black Hole.
I just hope the new stadium has a Black Hole as well.
I would much rather Vegas than the previously rumoured San Antonio.

San Antonio? I hadn't heard that. I feel like that would be a stretch...PhadedCN wrote:Welcome to the Black Hole.

Re: Las Vegas Raiders
There would be a black hole here no doubt. With Vegas being a transient city there are fans of a lot of teams but I would say the Raiders and Cowboys are 1a and 1bPhadedCN wrote:Welcome to the Black Hole.

I remember when I went to Vegas a few years ago - there was an overload of Raiders gear everywhere. Needless to say, my wallet took a beating.pokerface40 wrote:There would be a black hole here no doubt.

Re: Las Vegas Raiders
Thanks for the link, I was getting ready to do a search, but you did it for me! I meant it'd be a stretch in that Vegas represents a better market (financially speaking) for the team than San Antonio.PhadedCN wrote:It was talked about a few months ago.DecafMaverick wrote:San Antonio?

The breakdown of team support by county in that article is uber-interesting. Poor Bills...

Re: Las Vegas Raiders
Live and breathe Raiders, and it will be heartbreaking to see them leave their spiritual home
That said, if they have to move, it should be somewhere vaguely sleazy. Vegas works. It certainly would be easier to convince friends to fly to Las Vegas to catch a game...

I can't see it. I don't think the owners will let it happen.

Habaneros make the best hot sauce. Throwing a bunch of random stuff on top of fries doesn't mean you call it "poutine".

Re: Las Vegas Raiders
Thing is, while they're acting all squeamish on Vegas, they're open about wanting a franchise in London, where you can't go a block without running into a Ladsbrokes or other betting shop.FantasyFreak wrote:I can't see it. I don't think the owners will let it happen.
