As soon as they announce their name! I think in December they are going to announce the name, logo and colors They are building the practice rink in Summerland now.
Born and raised in Oakland. A friend in high school's family was a minority owner. Oakland will be vastly improved when they leave again. I feel sorry for Las Vegas. You know not what you have done. Lock up the women and children or at least give them guns and the ability to use them.
They're announcing the name Tuesday night (5:30) in front of the arena in the park. They're doing a whole event and will have swag for sale. I'm going to try to be there. Mark
They got The Governor The bi-partisan legislator The Casino's The Labor Unions The Clark County Supervisors The Bills and the Cowboys to agree to move to LV. It's happening but the NFL has to go through the motions. I think the only real question is can they make an affordable deal on the two properties they want to build on. Adelson has already said he would cover any cost overruns.

There was an interesting article the other day about the ground breaking. It's like the NFL has done a complete about face in just 2 years about Las Vegas. 2 years ago it was very anti-Vegas. Now, it's like "woah baby! Let's get the party started!" I'm really happy with the performance of the Golden Knights. They are near the top of the NHL in attendance and the team has been really well supported by locals and visitors. And I heard that 30% of all the PSA's already sold on the new Raider stadium are from CA with Nevada being about 55%. So, we will be attracting a lot of people from California to see Raider games. Every game weekend will be a party like we see with Fights and MMA. Now they need to figure out the parking bit. Exciting times!
I went today with my buddy to his appointment for season tickets, he bought 4 club seat PSL's Anyway they told me "fall" for those like me looking for reserved seats. Club seats were WAY out of my budget. Does look like i can afford the reserve seating PSLs though. Sure got excited today!
I just went with my parents to their appointment. The PSLs are NOT cheap. Damn. Nonetheless, my parents, brother, and I went in on four club seats. We'll rotate around who uses the tickets. The "private" entrance, bathrooms, club, and some other benefits more or less sold us on paying the extra money. Having the ability to buy "our" tickets to nearly anything that is held at the stadium before the general public, and have the same seats as during footballs games, is a pretty nice perk.
There definitely was a bit of sticker shock when the prices were discussed. If it doesn't end up being worth it, we'll sell the licenses and be done with it. We'll see how it goes. Fun fact: One of Howie Long's sons was the ticket rep we worked with.
