Oakland Raiders seek NFL’s blessing for move to Las Vegas
The NFL's Oakland Raiders filed paperwork with the league on Thursday to move to Las Vegas following months of negotiations to build a new stadium in Nevada, officials said. The National Football League said in a statement the Raiders' application would be reviewed in the coming weeks by its stadium and finance committees. Raiders owner Mark Davis, whose late father, Al Davis, helped burnish the team's outlaw reputation, has expressed dissatisfaction with the aging Oakland Coliseum, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and for much of last year pursued a possible move to Las Vegas.
