Why would they want to pay a shitload more in taxes in San Diego?

 

If their attendance is good in Las Vegas, there's no good reason they wouldn't stay.

If the location is near the Strip like what has been discussed, the Raiders will be successful in Vegas if Vegas does this the right way. Vegas is a very transient community, much like Phoenix. The visiting team will draw fans. Tourists will attend games. And of course, they will have at least some sort of season ticket base as well.

 

And if this comes to fruition, expect UNLV to be joining the PAC-16 within five years.

The whole Las Vegas market was in the toilet. LV is having its last hoorah. This is the peak. Sports franchises moving in just in time for the downturn.

 

Huh?  What does a subprime mortgage collapse have to do with a professional sports team?

 

There were plenty of real estate markets affected as bad as Las Vegas.

 

Did the Miami Dolphins move because of it?
