PHOENIX • At the same Arizona hotel where NFL owners originally voted down the move of the Rams to St. Louis in 1995, Raiders owner Mark Davis got a quick green light Monday to move his club to Las Vegas.
Advance to go, collect $750 million.
Drama? Debate? Angst?
Maybe in Oakland among Raiders fans now coping with the loss of their beloved team. But certainly not at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, where league owners approved the move of the Raiders to Nevada by a vote of 31-1. The decision came so quickly, and was so cut-and-dried, the process was completed in time for lunch at the league’s annual March meeting.
