Raiders Update Thread
- Thread starter mvvsmith
- Start date
Now boys. Things will be heating up this next week. Lots of meetings going on with Davis, his staff and the NFL. Final lease proposal might be wrapped up during this period also, but more than likely beginning of the following week. Stadium Board isn't worried at all at this point. The Oakland deal that is going before the NFL is a non-starter, and nothing they haven't already seen already. This is the month of answers people. Let's enjoy the process. A very important time for Las Vegas, the next big step not only from the sports perspective, but the convention and event revenue side of this equation. That's where the money is and that's the key that makes this stadium deal in Vegas so much different from any other cities stadium, except maybe Dallas, but who wants to go there for criminey sakes It will more than make money after it hits it stride after overhead of course. Tons of acts and more than a few conventions have wanted a bigger facility in Vegas. Fingers still crossed, nothing is set in stone yet.

I had to almost silent @Rebel1986 on Twitter he slangs so much hate to any one with leftist position. Man he likes to defend the orange one.
That's hysterical in regards to me. First time I've ever been accused of having a leftist position. But
Don't forget the NFR. Sure the Raiders might need to work around it but just imagine the revenue.

As we all suspected. My guess is that Davis is putting up an ownership stake as collateral and paying whopping interest. Or, the naming rights are going to be highly discounted. Raiders Park at BofA Staduim has a ring to it....
Yup. Except the interest rate will be subprime. Also, any prospective concessionaire should strongly consider moving its bank accounts into B of A....cough, cough.... Capriatti's.
It seems that SBS is back on the table as temporary digs for the Raiders. My question is:
How many seconds will the NFL Committee be on the SBS grounds before they turn around and say "Uh, nope"?

I don't know what the StubHub in LA looks like , but it doesn't sound so great for the Charger's. To answer your question 91, driving into the parking lot.
Exactly. The playing surface is better than Oakland. The sidelines are big enough for tv carts. The Raiders would have to improve the locker rooms, add additional end zone seating, and a few other small infrastructure things. All can be done for a reasonable price. Sam Boyd is a viable option for 2 years.
Important Authority meetimg tomorrow. Should wrap up some issues. Final lease may be revealed.

Keep in mind Sisolak is a Shelly guy.

Keep in mind Sisolak is a Shelly guy.
Two things- The Mercury News is strongly pro-Oakland, so it makes sense that they would hit up Sisolak for this question. Second "Where are they going to come up with $46 million?" Um, there is that little TV deal..... $225 million? Per year?
Also, to refer to the football team as "dismal" is just mean. He's clearly a shill for Shelly, trying to crap on the deal publicly.
Here is a more even retelling:

Is he? Sisolak is a democrat. Shelly is a heavy republican donor. Those philosophies differ considerably.
Yes, he is a heavy supporter of SA and, more so to the point, SA's companies. He's also not a fan of the NFL getting stadiums they don't pay for. Just another example of how politics can create strange bed fellows.

Doesn't add up. Were he anti NFL he would be far more supportive of Giunchigliani, where he really hasn't been.
Raiders gearing up for a presser late March!

Doesn't matter if it doesn't add up since it's true.
It "might" be worth it but I think that playing at Levi's Stadium would make more sense for everyone.
It' funny that the issue now is where they are going to play, not if they are going to relocate. That issue is a done deal. They might even approve without a lease agreement. That's never been done.
Since you keep replying to me then
Reality is a hard thing from some to accept.
Because the bonding companies will require a lease before construction begins, the NFL can feel pretty safe approving without one but I still think that one will be in place before it's final.
It's okay snowflake. Don't get your feelings hurt because I don't believe you.Since you keep replying to me then

Another worthless reply. I suggest that you get some professional help with your Sam envy.
Oh look, more gifs. Since you're gonna keep this up, I'm gonna ask you to prove it. If you can't, then you're full of shit. And statements from Sisolak in support of the sands don't count.Another worthless reply. I suggest that you get some professional help with your Sam envy.
Sisolak is an interesting character, my oldest son who was head researcher for the State Dems before Billy V. hired him ( he took he famous Sharon Angle video) states that Sisolak will have a tough time running for a more public office. More skeletons than a graveyard, interesting skeletons too.
I know him personally. People who know me on this board also know this. Spoke to him about this again just a couple of days ago.
However, I don't have to prove anything to you. If you don't believe me, then don't.
Now go get some treatment for your Sam envy.
Still having problems with your Sam envy I see.
Time for you to go on the ignore block.
