The Oakland Raiders plan to play some preseason games at Sam Boyd Stadium, and possibly a regular-season NFL game per year, to help build their fan base in Southern Nevada if a deal is reached to build a new domed stadium near the Las Vegas Strip, multiple sources said this week.

But the Raiders don’t plan to fully relocate to Las Vegas before a new stadium is ready, the sources said on condition of anonymity.
