I’m thinking that a lot of people on this thread are extraordinarily short sighted in terms of what Las Vegas does for sports. The Raiders have been a success and the VGK have been a smash hit. It’s not just the people living in Las Vegas, it’s the fact that it’s a destination. Even the worst NHL teams pull in fans albeit canadien winters have something to do with it. Same with NFL. No reason to believe a small ball park with casinos holding suites, a local market of nearby 3 million, and easy access for tourists won’t succeed.
