When the Raiders moved to Las Vegas in 2020, they faced an issue that very few teams in the NFL need to consider: the sweltering heat.
In the franchise’s first four years in the desert, training camp was held in Las Vegas during the hottest time of the year in the city. Seeing it as a problem for preparation, the Raiders moved training camp last year to Costa Mesa, California. However, former general manager Tom Telesco noted that the move was temporary, suggesting that the Raiders had other plans in mind.
On Tuesday, new head coach Pete Carroll made the Raiders’ plans for training camp clear, and it involves returning to a place familiar with the fanbase.
