Raiders pledge $500 million to Las Vegas NFL stadium, Oakland A's closer to Coliseum control

Oakland Athletics managing owner Lew Wolff and majority owner John Fisher should not stop looking at other Oakland sites, however.

On Thursday, Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis presented a plan to the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee for a $1.4 billion retractable roof stadium to be built in Las Vegas that could be used by both the Raiders and the UNLV Runnin' Rebels football team. The proposal includes $650 million in private funding and $750 million in public funds paid with an increase in tourism taxes, according to the Las Vegas Sun. $500 million would come from the Raiders, including a $200 million NFL loan, while $150 million would be paid by hotel-casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.
