Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis has said in the past that he is very serious about moving his team to Las Vegas.
Back in June the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported this…
If an unforeseen stadium proposal pops up in Oakland in the near future, Davis was asked if he might turn his back on a plan to relocate the Raiders to Las Vegas.
“No, I would not, and I’ve made that clear,” he said. “The opportunity came up in Las Vegas, and we’re giving it full bore. This is not a pawn in a game. We are serious.
“Right now, I’m focused on Las Vegas. We think it could make a great marriage with Las Vegas and the Raiders.”
That marriage just took a small baby step forward with these new renderings of what would be a ridiculously sweet new stadium for the Raiders should they pull the trigger and move.

A domed stadium in Las Vegas would not only be the home of the Raiders and UNLV but likely an expansion MLS team. pic.twitter.com/XgCmK1IPKm

Sorry, Oakland, but if I want the Raiders to move now after seeing what kind of stadium they would be playing in, imagine what Davis and the players must be thinking right about now.
Heck, if the strip club perks weren’t enough to get them to move this badass stadium might just do the trick.
