Well, it's official, as the article I just read on the San Francisco Chronicle's website, the sfgate says.
The Oakland Raiders have filed the paperwork for their move to Las Vegas.
I don't even have mixed feelings about this. I wish they would stay in Oakland. Oakland Raiders sounds tougher than Las Vegas Raiders.
Of course, I'll still be rooting for them, regardless.

All that hassling about building a new stadium in the Bay area has dragged on for years and now they pay the penalty of having the Raiders exit. Will they be the first NFL team to have been in three different cities not counting to returning like the Rams.

I think you're right. I can't think of any other teams.

Well, in the 80's they moved to Los Angeles, so it's not a big surprise. They can't get a new stadium in Oakland.

@teamfreak16 That's a crying shame.

They can't get a new stadium in Oakland, and their's is the oldest stadium in the league.

Oakland Raiders does sound tougher. Oh well, my Raiders sweatshirt doesn't have a city name on it.

I'll bet the NFL puts out a bunch of Las Vegas Raiders merchandise very soon.

@teamfreak16 From what I read today, it isn't done and dusted until March. Having to pay an extra hotel tax to support the stadium build has put me even further off visiting Las Vegas

I hope not. It just wouldn't be the same.

Oh yeah, the fans in those cities feel abandoned.
