“They just have to expand the seating capacity in the open end zone and improve the locker rooms and parking. If they can do that, you’re only talking seven home dates and two preseason games, because I’m sure they’ll commit to playing a game in Mexico City the next couple of years.”

With the NHL and NFL on their way here, Sherman and William Hill sports book director Nick Bogdanovich expect Las Vegas to land an NBA team within five years.

“The NBA’s next. Adam Silver loves this town, and they do all the Summer League stuff here and there’s already a great arena at T-Mobile,” Bogdanovich said. “Why not? We’ve got the hockey and the NFL, and the NBA is tailor-made for Las Vegas. This is a basketball town.”

The NFL has played games for years in London’s Wembley Stadium, where there are sports betting concessions on site. And NFL teams also have partnered with daily fantasy sports companies. Many would argue that betting has driven the popularity of the NFL, and Bogdanovich said it would have been hypocritical of the league to deny Las Vegas entry because of sports wagering.

“Let’s face it, the only reason people watch a blowout in the NFL is because of second-half wagering, fantasy football and bets on the over-under and things like that,” he said. “They know it helps their product.” Contact reporter Todd Dewey at tdewey@reviewjournal. com or 702-383-0354.
