Cliffs:
- Oakland Raiders considering move to Las Vegas
- Team officials were in Vegas to check out possible stadium sites
- Sheldon Adelson might cough up $1 billion to built a domed stadium for the team
I don't understand the need for a domed stadium. The NFL doesn't begin until mid-September, when temperatures in Vegas have usually come down.
Presumably they will want to use the stadium for other purposes during the summer, including a possible baseball team in the future.
The Las Vegas metropolitan area is the 30th biggest market in the country, with about 2 million people -- now approximately the same size as Cincinnati and Kansas City.
