Quote:I'm sure there would be some folks like your friend as well.


The Raiders have a pretty large presence throughout the state, I'd bet they'd retain a pretty healthy portion even with a move. I think there are even some that are rooting for it so they have an excuse to go to Vegas once or twice a season.

 

  One major issue for the Raiders if they move to Las Vegas is I believe the team will struggle to get a true home field crowd advantage.    Largely,  along the lines of what you touched on in that people from all over the U.S. and Canada probably will want to go to Vegas to see their NFL favorite team play.   They can combine a trip to Vegas with the usual attractions for many,   with seeing  their favorite team up close.
