i agree about the Raiders, however, the stats about the stadium deal are kinda fucked and non standard.
The only thing I didn't like was the city not getting an ownership stake in the stadium. Rolling tourists for a dollar a night is fine with me.

This town needed a real stadium. Sam Boyd is way on the edge of town and 45 years old. We were going to spend hundreds of millions on a new place for UNLV anyway. Might as well do it big and bring in a bunch of conventions and events that we had been losing to Dallas and other places.
