It would make sense for them to play in Nevada at the college stadium so they can get the fans there used to the team.

Yep... Saw it a few weeks ago...surprised how far along they are.... Was also shocked by it's proximity to the strip... That place is gonna be murder to get in and out of IMO.


I imagine a lot of the visitors will be from tickets comped by casinos, so there will be a lot of pedestrian traffic.

When the Yotes were on the sale block, Jerry Reinsdorf's group guaranteed the NHL a 3-year sellout because.the casino owners agreed to buy any excess tickets.

You think the turf was bad last game?? Just wait until that thing gets torn up every weekend.

They can get more than enough from the Faiders to change the grass out more often. The team, Glendale and the surrounding areas will benefit financially.

Changing it out more often doesn’t help it makes the turf even worse because then it doesn’t take Root. I think you’re kind of missing the point

I doubt Ray would say yes. Plus, that's about 55,000 more seats than Raiduhs need. :help:

ESPN mentioned The Big Toaster today, but you'd hope Bowtie Jr would make them pay for yet another slab of grass. Not to mention rent.
No way he allows this because the Raiders would outdraw the Cards. How embarrassing would that be?

Makes the best sense and only for one season. It holds 40,000 which is more than where the LA Chargers are playing.

The Raiders playing in Glendale would be great !... they would draw more fans and then do even worse that the Cards because Grudin is a total idiot... I love it

How so" The field was a mess last weekend and they are changing out to make it better, which is just what I said.
