Unlike the east bay shi+hole that the Raiders will be leaving, local nhl fans for the Vegas Golden Knights reuglarly pay $150 to $200 for a ticket.

The average income between Bay Area residents (including East Bay residents) and Vegas locals isn't even close. The Raiders and the NFL are betting that Vegas visitors will sell out the stadium, not the locals. They're probably betting wrong. No one comes to Vegas to pay for seats at a football game.

Again, to refute your original claim that vegas residents cannot afford tickets to pro-sports games, I know waitresses on the Strip who easily buy $150 tickets to home games for the new NHL team. The games are selling out beyond capacity, with each successive game drawing bigger and more higher-paying crowds. The team raised it's season-ticket prices because demand for the home pro-sports team is overheating.

The historical facts are strongly proving you wrong about Vegas's ability to support a pro team.
