Sunday home games will be brutal getting to work The strip is already such a cluster, driving wise. I dont think it will have the same affect as games do in other cities though(not saying gameday wont be crazy driving around the strip). I would guess a huge portion of the fans going to the game will be at their hotels already or walking on the strip hours before kickoff. There will be tons of foot traffic to the game from all the hotels in the area. Now, those weekends in general will just be busier around the stadium. Mandalay Bay, Excaliber, Luxor, New York New York etc will be crazy busy during game day/weekends. Vegas Strip will be the best "tailgate" in the league.

Leoric Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I’ve said it previously but this is going to be the gold standard on stadiums for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are reaching a ceiling for the amount of money that will be thrown at stadiums. The price of the LA and Vegas stadium is getting ridiculous. Owners aren't going to keep throwing even more money. We're going to reach a point where we see a shift back down. The new Bills stadium which is the next one in the league as far I know will take a different attitude to spending I'm sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Really cool looking stadium. I'm just curious, will anything about the Raiders logo, jersey's or colors change at all? I'm assuming not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too much history with them, not to mention how loved they are by most fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gotta find a way to have an underpass or bridge from Mandalay Bay to the stadium that's walkable/bikeable. Would really help things out from a traffic and parking standpoint.

Don't really need to build an expensive stadium when you aren't hosting Final Fours, Major MMA/Wrestling/Boxing, or a Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see them do this: Still keeps the traditional raiders look, but adds in some Vegas flair. Edited May 7, 2019 by scar988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Just now, daineraider said: Mmmm...:no. It needs to stay the same. It's honestly a very, very small change to the logo. They're going to have to change some part of the word marks at a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahUtesFan Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't mind an alternate "Las Vegas" Raiders logo & jersey, but just as an alternate/special edition once a season. Edited May 8, 2019 by UtahUtesFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
