Seems like if any team could pull this off it would be the Raiders, just due to their overall popularity and fan support not being as regionally bound.
Still, just looking at population counts, the Las Vegas metro area is similar in size to Kansas City. KC is somewhere around #27 in current NFL market size. So the Raiders will drop from the #3ish size market to somewhere around where we are. I would guess that a fair amount of Vegas locals will adopt the Raiders, but in a small market you need a wealth of fanatics to pay NFL prices. [Reply]

I don’t see them having a solid home field advantage. I suspect a lot of team’s fans will take advantage of seeing an away game bundled with going to Vegas. Hell I intend to. [Reply]

It's gonna be like the Rams in L.A. They'll sell plenty of tickets, but half of them will be to opposing team fans. [Reply]

I purchased season tickets in LV. I don't live there but I'll fly in for half the games and sell the rest. Home field advantage will most likely be mute because of so many opposing fans wanting to catch a game in VEGAS.
I'm thinking the first year is going to be expensive to get tickets but maybe I'm wrong. Vegas is definitely a weird market due to it being a major tourist destination. [Reply]

They don't set the schedule until the spring. [Reply]
You realize they don't set what week we play next year till AFTER the season, right? You even watch football, you 7 nation army chanting SOB? Fuck that RB playing QB pathetic White Stripes worshipping in a shithole team..

That's nuts
Drove past it in September and it seemed a bit smaller than the Oakland coliseum. Did they say what kind of event could configure that large?
And it absolutely looks like a giant cat should be riding around on top of it while it like a roomba. [Reply]
