I think the NFL sees it as adding a market.

And the Raiders see it as having one of their own, with a taxpayer-funded stadium.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried something like that. An “exit tax” perhaps?

Reminds me of the time the New York legislature tried to make it illegal to go out of business.

Yup, and Vegas also has the Las Vegas Motorspeedway, a major stop for the NASCAR circuit. Once Vegas gets an MLB and an NBA team, it will be just like Dallas and Atlanta: A bigtime sports town.
