klos63 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They sold out of season tickets (70,000) six hours after they went on sale last summer....... besides that, they'll never support the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That's not it. But the owners can't vote on something that hasn't been presented as a proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So that's it? Approval by the NFL owners is not needed? It is and they'll grant it. @AroundTheNFL DEVELOPING: Raiders file Las Vegas relocation paperwork with NFL http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000776434/article/oakland-raiders-file-las-vegas-relocation-paperwork The move was anticipated. Rapoport reported last week that the Raiders were prepared to file for relocation. It is the first formal step in a relocation process that won't become official until the Raiders receive 24 votes from NFL's owners to formally make the move, a vote that will come this spring. The Raiders had until Feb. 24 to file relocation papers. NFL owners expected to vote on the team's relocation proposal at Annual League Meeting in March, per Rapoport. If the Raiders are given the green light to move from NFL owners, they would likely play at least the next two years in Oakland before relocating to their new stadium in Las Vegas for the 2020 season.

How are Raiders fans going to react to going to games for a lame duck team? Davis certainly looks the part for Las Vegas: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

long suffering bills fan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Excellent. Save the Raiders! This could help Las Vegas. The NFL Owners did not want an investor that had ownership in casinos. Goldman Sachs would be the perfect investor for this deal to move forward.

long suffering bills fan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Now, Goldman Sachs says they will not be involved with the Las Vegas stadium project without Sheldon Adelson! So Mark Davis will need to find new investment partners to make the Raiders move to Las Vegas work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Hopefully Vic Beasley's menu includes Tom Brady's face on a platter. My menu, I would say wings, meatballs, and some kind of chips/dip (preferrably nacho cheese). Brady's face on my plate = me barfing. All the tech money and they can't stay in the bay? Ridiculous Mark Davis said a week ago that Goldman Sachs is ready to step in and provide the needed funds Goldman is out. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18594904/oakland-raiders-las-vegas-stadium-deal-loses-backing-goldman-sachsI'm sure to protect the relationship with one of their best customers.
