NFL approves Raiders Las Vegas stadium lease “a big step”

Another box was checked today for the Raiders relocation to Las Vegas. The owners have approved the lease agreement between the franchise and the city at their owners meeting in Chicago Tuesday.

Mark Davis called the vote “a big step” in the process that began when the league had officially approved the team’s relocation to Las Vegas in late March.

Just a week ago, there was some uncertainty the lease would be signed and ready in time for the owner’s meeting.

Those concerns were alleviated at the meeting last week on May 18 when the lease was signed by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority.
