Oakland Raiders Season Tickets Sellout Proves Mark Davis Las Vegas Stadium Is DOA

Oakland Raiders Season Tickets Sellout Proves Mark Davis Las Vegas Stadium Is DOA
Oakland Raiders Owner Mark Davis gleefully announced that for the first time in franchise history the entire supply of season tickets is all but sold out and a wait list is being formed. The Raiders report that over 50,000 season ticket order have been processed, up from 43,000 in 2015. The demand for season tickets is so high the only way to meet it in the future is to .... build a new stadium. So why try the unproven and legally challenged Las Vegas market? Why make threats to leave Oakland when the very thing that was the basis for the Raiders desire to move - supposedly poor season ticket sales - is gone? On top of all that, Mark Davis was, I am told, planning a lawsuit against the NFL to have the franchise relocation fee waved because the team could not afford it. That would pave the way for a move to Las Vegas. Only Mark Davis would be tied up in court for a long time - and most likely lose. So with those two major unknowns why not stay in Oakland?
