DALLAS (AP) — The NFL draft is heading to Las Vegas for 2020.
It almost certainly will arrive before the Raiders do.
"We believe the draft will be the kickoff to our inaugural season," said Raiders owner Mark Davis, who is moving the team from Oakland.
The league announced Wednesday at an owners meeting that the city where the Raiders will begin play in September 2020 will host the draft that April.
"Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and will provide a tremendous experience for the NFL and its fans," Davis added.
