New Las Vegas Aces owner Mark Davis said he sees opportunities for "synergy" between the WNBA franchise and the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, both from a sports standpoint and in regard to social justice issues and progress with diversity.
Davis, whose ownership of the Aces was officially approved last Friday, spoke with reporters on a Zoom call Wednesday. He said the Aces will have a training/office space facility built along with the Al Davis-Eddie Robinson Leadership Academy in Henderson, Nevada, where the Raiders have their headquarters. He expects both to open in spring 2022.
"The convergence of those two projects with the Raiders right next door is making for an exciting time and future for all involved," Davis said.
