Raiders owner Mark Davis received nearly unanimous approval from his fellow owners Monday to move his team to Las Vegas.
Once news of the vote at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix was reported, the Raiders released the following statement from Davis:
“My father always said, ‘the greatness of the Raiders is in its future,’ and the opportunity to build a world-class stadium in the entertainment capital of the world is a significant step toward achieving that greatness. I would like to thank Commissioner Goodell, the National Football League and my 31 partners. I would also like to thank Governor Brian Sandoval and the Nevada Legislature for their commitment.
