Davis and NFL executives have summarily dismissed a proposed solution in Oakland by Hall of Fame player Ronnie Lott and New York hedge fund Fortress Investment Group. Following the vote, Commissioner Roger Goodell, Raiders owner Mark Davis, Texans owner Bob McNair, the chairman of the league’s finance commitee, and Steelers President Art Rooney II, the chairman of the league’s stadium committee, will speak to the media. We plan to play at the Coliseum in 2017 and 2018, and hope to stay there as the Oakland Raiders until the new stadium opens. • Read: Open letter from Oakland Raiders fan groups to Mark Davis, all NFL owners

Before the move can become official, Davis and his chief executives have much to do. Owners stipulated that the Raiders still need to agree to terms for a lease with the Las Vegas Stadium Authority as well as secure a property where to build the proposed 65,000-seat stadium

Owners determined Las Vegas was the team’s best option after 25 years in Oakland in the now-outdated Coliseum that is shared with baseball’s Athletics. No vote total was released but the team needed support from at least 24 of 32 club owners to make the move, which follows the St. Louis Rams return to Los Angeles in January 2016 and the San Diego Chargers move to Los Angeles this past January. Where concerns over gambling ties once shied away pro sports clubs, the allure of new venues and rich sponsors has the NFL following the National Hockey League's expansion Vegas Golden Knights, who begin play next October in a new arena.
The National Football League (NFL) owners approve, by a 31–1 vote, the move of the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the 2019 or 2020 season. The Las Vegas Raiders will become the second top-level professional sports franchise in the city, following the National Hockey League's Vegas Golden Knights, which will begin play in October 2017. The move now awaits completion of a new Raiders stadium, until which time the Raiders will continue playing home games in Oakland. Bank of America has issued the Raiders $650 million in credit to purchase land and build the new stadium in Clark County.
