This can either be a very successful move or a dumpster fire. The Oakland Raiders are officially becoming the Las Vegas Raiders after NFL team owners voted 31-1 during the Annual League Meeting in Phoenix on Monday, granting the approval.

The idea of the Las Vegas Raiders became very real yesterday after the city approved funding which would contribute $750 million dollars of public money to put towards the construction of the stadium and everything that comes with it. Oakland is on the clock to get a deal done to keep the team in place but the way the city has dragged their feet for years on helping the Raiders build a new stadium, doesn’t make it likely that owner Mark Davis will want to stay there regardless.
The NFL just kicked off and we already have fighting in the stands. During the Oakland Raiders game against the Atlanta Falcons, two Raiders fans knocked down another Raiders fan.
The Oakland Raiders almost wound up in Los Angeles for next season. In fact, there is still a slim chance they wind up there for 2017 but it’s doubtful. San Antonio, Texas has also been growing as a realistic moving spot for the Raiders and now a new, reportedly serious contender is in the works. Las Vegas!
We’ve been waiting to see what will happen as the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders were all bidding to move to LA. Well the NFL owners meeting concluded and with a 30-2 vote, the Rams are officially heading back to LA and the Chargers have until January 16, 2017 to come up with a lease agreement to join them. If the Chargers decline, the Oakland Raiders, another former L.A. tenant, can link up with the Rams.
The St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders filed applications for relocation to Los Angeles on Monday night.
