Just getting back to the thread, but 100% what Wombat said. It's antiquated thinking, but it's what we have.

This iceburn deserves the Rams victory Gif.
Also San Diego wouldn't pay and they lost the Chargers too. At least that faggot Spanos can say he cannot easily finance his own stadium. He's on the poor end of the billionaire owners.

This team will set new records for arrests. A roster full of NFL players living in Vegas for half the year, what could go wrong.
I hope everyone in Oakland straight up boycotts the games this season. If they are moving in the Niners' house for a season next year then its probably even more likely that the stadium will be desolate. I can't wait to see some empty ass Raiders games. Or they will be playoff caliber and it will be a big going away party, idk. If they were still dogshit then the place would probably be a ghost town.

I lived in Vegas for 5 years, and there's already a ton of Raiders fans there. My facebook feed is full of them today. The Raiders will do fine there.
Patriots couldn't get local funding, YES they got a good deal on the land but Kraft ended up having to privately finance the stadium. the 5 pro teams in boston all have privately owned stadiums- pats and revolution have gillette, bruins celtics have the garden (delaware north) red sox have fenway.
worked out great for the krafts imo. spend ~5 hundred million dollars on the land and stadium etc, just on TICKET prices- at least 100 million dollars a year(home games only-not including playoffs) for the pats games- add in -recently- at least 1 playoff game - another 15 million ish gross Just for tickets per game.

It is already illegal to jump over the center... it is NOT- currently- illegal to jump "between" the center and the next guy.
it is another rule to prevent something that a few patriots (former as well) are good at if they time it right...van noy? i think it was got called for the penalty either in the playoffs or the SB, even though he followed the rule correctly(not jumping over the center).

A lot of QQ out of the bay. The NFL enjoyed unprecedented success the last two decades after moving 4 franchise in a shorter period of time in the 90s. And budget projections for the Las Vegas stadium were based on 60% occupancy and were stress tested against recessions and whatnot. The only possible opportunity that came about after years of trying to get a new stadium in Oakland manifested after the team had moved on - and was not enough to get them to stay due to a number of issues.
You can jump over the center, you just can't be on the line of scrimmage at the snap in front of the center, nor can you make contact with him during the jump.

I guess it's all about access. It's not that they think the sports books will fix games, but they might think some schmo with a gambling problem is more likely to get a job with the team and be tempted to do shit. I don't think it's a legitimate concern, but the appearance of impropriety is what they're trying to avoid.
What the fuck? You don't even know what I think about this one. But interestingly you might be right about me standing alone. I haven't seen anyone else say that it should be a business decision for the city. City needs to decide how much the team brings in and make an offer based on that. Vegas is in a pretty good position to spend a lot without any taxpayers getting bit, but I doubt they're making a good decision based on any increased tourism from the team. I might be wrong though, I'm sure there are wizzards of smart who sat down and mathed all that shit out.
That's what I thought. So what's the new rule? You can't even try to leap the center anymore? Also, the no canning the center rule was bullshit and still is bullshit. They're just putting tutu's on everyone who touches the ball now?
