The Oakland Raiders have made it official. The team filed paperwork this week to relocate the franchise to Las Vegas. Clark County Commission chair Steve Sisolak tweeted the news Thursday morning. This is breaking news, but not surprising news. Although, the timing is inauspicious at best. Today marks the anniversary of the Tuck Game.
Last weekend, reports surfaced that the team was going to file the paperwork. The Raiders have been working with Las Vegas for some time now to figure out a stadium plan. The NFL, long against the idea of moving a team to Las Vegas, has been coming around the past few months.
