The Oakland Raiders are currently getting ready for their last season in Oakland ahead of joining the Vegas Golden Knights as Las Vegas’ second major sports franchise in 2020. The team will soon be known as the Las Vegas Raiders and will play their home games at the 1.75 million-square-foot, state-of-the-art domed Allegiant Stadium.
Unlike the Golden Knights, who entered the NHL as an expansion team, the Raiders will be upping roots from Oakland, a place they have called home since being founded as a member of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) West Division on Sept, 11, 1960, which merged with the NFL in 1970.
