UNLV, Las Vegas Bowl react to Raiders’ lease proposal

The Oakland Raiders’ proposals to control scheduling and field markings for the proposed new stadium caught Las Vegas Bowl executive director John Saccenti by surprise, but he was willing to take a wait-and-see approach.

“The good thing is I’ve met with the Raiders a couple of times now, and so I get the sense that we’d have a good working relationship and there’s really nothing to worry about,” Saccenti said Friday.

But he still wanted to learn more details on the Raiders’ asking for the rights to approve any college football game in the new stadium and for any markings from such events to be completely removed before the local NFL takes the field.
