Raiders Set To Split For Las Vegas, Leaving Oakland ... In A Year Or Two
By overwhelming majority, NFL owners voted Monday to approve the Raiders' bid to make a new home in Sin City. But it won't be a quick farewell. They're still playing in Oakland at least through 2017.
By an overwhelming 31-1 vote, NFL owners have approved the Raiders' move from Oakland to Las Vegas — though the team will still remain in the Bay Area for at least the 2017 season and possibly longer.
"My father always said, 'the greatness of the Raiders is in its future,' " Raiders owner, "and the opportunity to build a world-class stadium in the entertainment capital of the world is a significant step toward achieving that greatness."
