instead of the Las Vegas.....It just sounds better. Kind of like the Baltimore Colts versus the Indianapolis Colts. I mean.......can you imagine if we were the U of SC Tigers! Knowhaddimean?!!

I grew up a Los Angeles Raiders fan. Anyway. i am glad they are in Vegas over Oakland. Those games will be rocking, but. i bet half of the fans will probably fly in for the weekend. Anyway, just glad those Clemson guys will have a nicer place to play, better facilities, cheaper housing, and no state income tax.

60s and Kenny "The Snake" Stabler was their QB.
There's no excuse that they're not still in Oakland. If a way could have been found to build a new stadium to replace the dump they were in they still would be there.

I agree from a nostalgia perspective.

But in reality, Oakland is generally a dump of a city. Not that Vegas is perfect, but a better place to live that Oakland IMO.

It's certainly easier to find cheap flights into Vegas.

Vegas is actually a great place to live

Tons of cheap housing with a growing suburban area in good weather. It’s plenty big enough to stay away from the strip, there’s a large LV local community. But you can also Enjoy the world class cuisine and entertainment in your backyard if you don’t mind the strip.

I'm with you. Vegas is a great place to catch a game. Oakland is an absolute dump.

High crime and significant poverty, even by California standards.

Mayock is doing a good job of changing the culture and the image of the Raiders.
