Nevada Assembly passes bill to publicly finance potential Raiders stadium

The Nevada Assembly passed a bil on Friday to fund a new stadium in Las Vegas to house the Raiders, according to multiple reports.

A 28–13 vote passed the proposal for a $750 million arena built using taxpayer money, a domed building that would seat 65,000. The proposal returns to the Senate, which passed the bill on Tuesday, to iron out details. The governor would also need to approve it.

The Raiders have yet to receive approval from the NFL to relocate from Oakland, with the question of whether it makes sense for a team to move to Vegas.
