After years of waiting, the city of Las Vegas has now added two professional sports teams in less than a year. The NFL voted Monday on the Oakland Raiders relocation application, and Adam Schefter is reporting it passed 31-1, with only the Miami Dolphins voting against it. The Raiders will likely spend two more years in Oakland before moving to the desert after the 2018 season. They will join the new Golden Knights NHL franchise.
As a native of Las Vegas, I find myself conflicted. On the one hand, I’m excited to see my city get a pair of professional sports teams.
