Las Vegas’ NHL team owner would prefer Raiders stay in Oakland

Las Vegas became a two-sport major league town Monday and the Vegas Golden Knights owner seems a bit perturbed by that.

Bill Foley, who laid down a $500 million fee to the NHL to create an expansion team in Sin City and is privately funding the Golden Knights’ stadium, publicly congratulated Raiders owner Mark Davis on that team’s approved relocation. Then Foley questioned the move on the radio program Vegas Hockey Hotline with Brian Blessing.

“I felt like there were a lot better ways to spend $750 million than bringing the Raiders to Las Vegas,” said Foley, the Golden Knights chairman and CEO.
