Committee votes unanimously to fund Las Vegas NFL stadium
An oversight committee has voted in favor of spending $750 million in public money to help pay for a Las Vegas NFL stadium.
The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee met today to make a decision on whether the plan should move forward on the $1.9 billion stadium.

Raiders should not pass up a billion dollar stadium like they did with 49ers and rams. Vegas then will get a SB and nfl will make more money than in Oakland.
Cant help but empathize with Oakland fans. I hope they stay put, but it seems like the owner just doesn't want to be there.
Is there enough local people to support a team? Doesn't seem like there would be enough.

I'm thinking with the massive amount of tourists and the casinos buying a ton of tickets it would offset the smaller amount of locals that would be purchasing tickets. Although I could be completely wrong.
Im not the guy that takes frequent trips to Vegas. But if I was and the Jags played a game that year, I'd try to schedule it then. That sounds like a really good weekend actually. Catch a game, few shows and some gambling. Oh and lots of drinks.
who's coming up with the other billion? Davis don't have that

I doubt it. I don't think there is even a million in the city and surrounding area.
There's a military base out there as well

I don't know of one in Vegas, but there is one in Fallen Nevada that isn't exactly close.
Nellis AFB.
And Creech AFB which is 35 miles away from LV.
