Oakland Raiders Could Become Las Vegas Raiders With Potential Adelson Purchase
A report in the Sheldon Adelson-owned Las Vegas Review Journal has Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis meeting with Adelson Friday “possibly to discuss stadium details”.
A new $1 billion domed stadium will be home to the University of Nevada and certainly could be an enticement to the Raiders, a team desperately seeking out a more modern stadium.
Adelson, in addition to being the new owner of the LVRJ, is head of the Las Vegas Sands Corp and owns several casinos. He is also one of the richest men in the United States and a major donor to the GOP party.
Representatives of the Raiders were not immediately available for comment on Davis’s reported meeting with Adelson when approached by media outlets.
The story was heavily trending on Twitter Thursday evening.
