From everything I can see the talks to find a place in Vegas have gone all of nowhere. They may stay in Oakland afterall ---

I don’t know about that, the articles say that they are still very much in continued talks about 2 sites in Las Vegas, with one being more favorable to the team. Negotiations for these kind of things don’t just happen quickly, it definitely takes time. ---

We’ll see. Though I’d rather they stay because I like this proposal, I’d love to see what they’d cook up for a stadium in Vegas. ---

Well it seems like any proposal in Las Vegas will have a domed stadium (maybe operable) as mentioned in the article so I imagine that it would none the less look impressive. ---

A second site, the Las Vegas Fairgrounds, which is owned by Treasure Island and Circus Circus owner Phil Ruffin, appeared to be out of the mix. ---
