Isn't already expensive?
Not so much for the people that live here. It can be expensive if you want to blow money but it's pretty reasonable for lower class people like myself. The same goes for our returning tourists. This shyt is going to raise rents, parking, resort fees, and more. The 'city' is trying to get a team and charge the people that live here for it. i already know it's going to be some fukkery because even in the planning, they were trying to put the stadium in the hood and gentrify the area. That has been blocked, for now. This might be dope for the image of Vegas, but it is definitely bad for people that are just getting by out here. Sports fandom aside, this is the equivalent of building a highway through the ghetto.

That's a long ass time just to go back and forth for games :what:


Shiitt, I gotta pay for the ticket, the drive to the airport, the airline ticket, pray I land on time, pay for transportation from the airport to the stadium, pay for food, hopefully they win, and do everything in reverse.

You'd get more bang for your buck going to Vegas, playing slot machines and entertaining the first prostitute with big titties who wanna take you back to a ranch
Wrong, I know people that go to Vegas for the day. and drive right the fukk back the same night for a show/convention/gambling driving up for a game ain't shyt compared to the 7hr drive or 1hr flight it is now

If those types of Raider Nation fans can afford a game in that new building :sas2:

Oakland Coliseum prices won't be in Vegas:sas1:

That's another thing, no disrespect to the LV stanbase but I doubt the real crazies will travel for all of those home games from Oakland. Maybe LA, but not Oakland. Vegas sounds cool as fukk but there's holes in this shyt to me.

We are east coasters in or near large metropolitan cities. 45 mins is a trip to the movies for the rest of America.

Not sure, but a better option needs to present itself. NFL fukked themselves over for not giving the Raiders a piece of LA at least. Vegas market isn't big enough and Oakland can't come up with a plan.

I wish a better option was available but at the moment Vegas is the best option for us to get a new stadium :yeshrug:

Disappointed in the City of Oakland for not coming through with a better deal to keep the team there
