Raiders setting sail for Vegas in due time

-

The Oakland Raiders are relocating to Las Vegas — eventually. NFL owners voted 31-1 Monday to approve the Raiders’ request to move to Sin City effective by 2020. The Miami Dolphins were the lone holdout, according to numerous reports. The Raiders will play at least the next two seasons at their current home, Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, before moving into a new US$1.9-billion stadium in Las Vegas. The league refused to disclose the relocation fee owner Mark Davis now owes the league, but reports had estimated it in the $300-million range, about half the $650-million fee paid by both the Chargers and Rams to move to Los Angeles.
