The Oakland Raiders owner is currently discussing potential landing spots fro his team, and now the mayor of Las Vegas is becoming confident that Las Vegas will land the Raiders.
Las Vegas mayor Carolyn G. Goodman said she is “very, very confident” about the Raiders moving to her city, speaking with Hannah Storm of ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”
Goodman said the town is “so ready” to make the Raiders in Vegas a reality. The proposed $1.4 billion stadium is slated to be funded in part from revenue mainly raised by tourist income from the city’s 155,000 hotel rooms. If the proposed deal goes through, the city of Las Vegas would be on the hook for $750 million.
This is will be interesting, what do you think? Would the Las Vegas Raiders make you happy?
