Just heard the Miami Dolphins owner is the only one that voted against the move. Radio guy was telling Oakland fans to pull for the Fins now due to that. LOL.

Where is Vegas going to get the fans from to fill the stadium?

The Casinos aren't going to like them pulling tourist away from the strip! Or, maybe they will have slots and game day gambling at the stadium. think the NFL will allow that?

Las Vegas · Population

(plus about 3 million visitors a month)

Not a fair comparison of populations. Oakland is part of the San Fransisco metro area; millions of people close by. But, Las Vegas is, for-the-most-part, in the middle-of-nowhere.

true, but do SF people cross the bridge for Raiders games or stick with the 49ers?
But I'm guessing it's the visitors and gamblers that'll be the Vegas Raiders money train.

Unfair comparison. Oakland is within view of San Jose and San Fran. Probably closer to a mill in the bay for potential spectators. (Sorry, I wish they'd have stayed)

Like I said, that's on the other side of the bridges, those are 49er fans in SJ and SF, I'd bet.
And again, it's the visitors in Vegas, not the residents that will be the customers.
But I'm done here, clearly the owners see customers in Vegas.

There will be no home field advantage I am betting. What you will see is people planning vegas trips around seeing their own team play.
