One thing that brings liberals and conservatives together is that new stadiums paid for by taxpayers is repulsive.

I know that LV is a big city, but is it enough to support the Raiders?

They have no connection to the town, except for gamblers.

Can a team be supported fan-wise, with out of towners?

My guess is no.

They'd be fair weather fans at best.

And I'm seriously concerned about the Mob putting pressure on players, as they are in close proximity.

Half of the games will be played at home, which means visiting teams’ fans have the option of booking their Vegas stays to be able to watch them play.

Vegas has a new NHL team named the Vegas Golden Knights. They play in the new TMobile arena that sits 17,000 for NHL games. Every game so far (over 20) has drawn 18,000 plus. They are third in the league behind cities that have 10 times the population of the Vegas metro.

Vegas has already proven itself as a pro-sports city.

Selling out the raiders (even with the blm bs) will be effortless in vegas.
