The Oakland Raiders say they are serious about becoming the Las Vegas Raiders if they do not get a plan for a new stadium in Oakland soon. Added, the Silver and Black will also need Vegas to hold up their end of the financing for possible relocation.
The estimated price tag of the Las Vegas stadium project has already increased from $1.4 billion to as much as $2.1 billion, according to ESPN. Part of that increase is due to land acquisitions.
One of the sites listed as a potential home for the new stadium by the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee includes a site off Interstate 15 which is owned by the Fertitta Family.
