The Oakland Raiders have moved into the Red Zone on their quest to relocate to Las Vegas, and the final push over the goal line could happen sooner rather than later. According to multiple high-ranking National Football League sources, the NFL's owner-comprised stadium and finance committees are poised to recommend the Raiders relocation request to Las Vegas be voted on at the league's annual meeting in three weeks in Phoenix. The inclination to make the recommendation is based on two days of meetings in Florida in which the Raiders, according to sources with intimate knowledge of the meetings who spoke on the condition of anonymity, presented a strong case for their Las Vegas bid. The most compelling part now is the Raiders securing Bank of America to fill the $650 million funding gap created when Las Vegas Sands head Sheldon Adelson walked away from the deal after he and the Raiders could not come to terms on a partnership deal. I hope Vegas works out for them and also for the Golden Knights NHL team. I'm sure it won't be too big a gamble.
