At the NFL Owners Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, today, the Oakland Raiders were approved to relocate to Las Vegas.
The move is the third relocation approval in a little more than a year after the approval to relocate the Los Angeles Rams from St. Louis a year ago and this year’s kick-in of the San Diego Chargers joining them in LA.
As always, the story starts and ends with money. Lots of it. Sin City is putting up a whopping $750m of public funds to support the construction of the Raiders’ future home.
