    They’d have to build them a dome. The summers down there, as everyone knows are unbearable. Fukkin 95 degrees at 3 o clock in the morning. Never cools down.

    Maybe they can squeeze a baseball field into Alegiant Stadium. We could have a 200 foot center field

    Triple AAA team plays outdoors there. But you are correct, people won't go to games and sit in that heat

    That would be rough for Oakland fans losing both Pro Teams to Vegas.

    I doubt it will. Opponent's fans will travel there like crazy. Destination trip to see your favorite team. It may wane a little, but I suspect it will remain hot for a long time.

    I used to go to night games during summer when the triple aaa team played near downtown at Cashman.

    Not that bad really. Only can play at night. It is getting worse there though.

    Hard core Raider fans will make the short trip to Vegas to watch their team.
    Allegiant will sell out every Raiders home game.
    Bronco's travel very well too, and you would think now that the Chargers are getting real good again the LA based fans will drive out the four hours on a Sunday morning, or make it a two day weekend.

    SF to Oakland is only 20 miles give or take.
    Does that Bay Area really need the Giant's, A's, 49ers, Raiders.... .

    SF is a top ten market but it's not NY or LA.
    Hell, Philly is a top 5 market and they don't even have two NFL or MLB teams.

    Word also is the NBA is looking to expand to LV also,
    Quite frankly I'd like to see Seattle get another franchise before Vegas gets one.

    Makes a lot of sense. Will have no problem selling out. And now that gambling is universal, there just isn't that stigma attached like there once was.

    Fair point I never really thought of the Warriors as an Oakland team, calling them Golden State all these years.

    SF only has one team

    49ers play almost an hour away from there

    It needs the help, those Strip casinos are hemorrhaging money.
