    Default Official: Raiders to move to Las Vegas

    PHOENIX -- The Oakland Raiders will move to Las Vegas after garnering enough votes from NFL owners on Monday to relocate to Southern Nevada.

    The Raiders received 31 of 32 votes to approve the move, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Twenty-four votes were needed. The Miami Dolphins were the only team to vote against the move, a source told Schefter.

    The Raiders will still play in Oakland in 2017 and possible longer.

    With a 65,000-seat, $1.9 billion domed stadium to be shared with UNLV not expected to open until 2020, Raiders owner Mark Davis has told ESPN he plans on staying in Oakland the next two seasons. The team holds a pair of one-year options at the Oakland Coliseum.

    So our division will have the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders. That'll take some getting used to.

    Sin City is perfect for the Raiders.

    Oakland even came up with a stadium proposal that was, according to the story I read, very close to the Vegas deal. Just like other moves, money talks...

    It will make division travel pretty easy. I'm looking forward to finally having the opportunity to afford a game a year.

    I'm glad it's going to be a dome, I couldn't imagine summer games in the Vegas heat.

    Allegiance air goes to Vegas for $100, or I could do a 10 hour day trip

    I can get there for only a fraction more than that too.

    Yeah. It's a three month trip. Good thing I've got three years to figure this out.

    Several airports. Anyone with Allegiant, but I do have a bit of a drive to get to the airport.

    Did you move to the east coast & forget to tell us

    I'm not the leading expert on these things, but I can't picture it take more than a week there from Nebraska & another week back.
