Part of the recent speculation about the UFC being on the market is the notion that majority owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta may be looking for an influx of cash to invest in another sports property.
Raiders/NFL
At least one NFL owner is perhaps warming to the idea of the Oakland Raiders moving to Las Vegas.
Talking to ESPN’s Capital Games podcast on Tuesday, Mayor Carolyn Goodman seemed optimistic about the chances of the Oakland Raiders relocating to Las Vegas.
Showered with boos on a rain-soaked weekend in Chicago, Roger Goodell told the draft crowd to “bring it on” in a rare show of his sense of humor. The NFL commissioner knows he’s unpopular, and he’s embracing the hate.
The idea came to Pat Christensen about three or four years ago as “one of those ‘what-ifs.’” What if Las Vegas built a stadium for the main purpose of hosting Monday Night Football?
“If the NFL says, ‘If you want to move to Las Vegas, Raiders, you can,’ then we’ve got to spring into action and we’ve got to come up with a program,” casino owner Steve Wynn said Friday. “I just thought it would be a great thing for the town, don’t you agree?” he added.
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman on Thursday was a pom-pom and marching band short of starting a pep rally inside the Stan Fulton Building at UNLV.
UNLV football coach Tony Sanchez grew up 22 miles from the Oakland Coliseum, where he attended countless Raiders games. If Raiders owner Mark Davis has his way, Sanchez might eventually need only take a short stroll across campus to reach the NFL team’s new stadium in Las Vegas.
About two dozen fans of the Oakland Raiders were at UNLV to support team owner Mark Davis, who is pushing to move the Raiders to Las Vegas if a $1.4 billion, 65,00-seat stadium gets approved.
In one of the beginning steps in what could be a long process, Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis vowed on Thursday to attempt to relocate his NFL franchise to Las Vegas if a stadium is constructed primarily for the team.
Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis on Thursday told the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee that he wants to move his NFL franchise to Las Vegas, and he pledged $500 million toward the construction of a $1.4 billion domed stadium if a public-private financing plan is approved by the Legislature.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will not be attending any potential stadium rallies on the Strip, even if he recognizes Las Vegas as a valuable piece in a high-level chess match.
Those National Football League fans hoping to get a definitive resolution on whether the Oakland Raiders are Las Vegas-bound will likely be disappointed in the outcome of Thursday’s Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee meeting.
The Oakland Raiders will seek relocation to Las Vegas if a domed stadium is built here, according to two reports. Both Sports Illustrated and the Bleacher Report reported Monday that Raiders owner Mark Davis will pledge Thursday to move the team to Southern Nevada if a 65,000-seat stadium is built along Tropicana Avenue near the Strip.
Meetings will be scheduled, big money will be discussed and, eventually, Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis will make a decision. Davis’ decision will be based on money, of course, and nothing will happen overnight.
