OT: Raiders news, notes

[LadyStanley]

The 2020 NFL season has started and the Raiders are the new kids in town.

Even with virus threats, construction on th allegiant stadium has continued. (What impact the 4/1 governor's new stay at home order means for construction, I don't know)


The Athletic's Tafar will continue to cover the Raiders. But they've added a new 24 year old, recent journalism grad, to cover the team.

Henderson should charge the Raiders oh, I don't know, $6M to change the street name to Raider Way.

Henderson should charge the Raiders oh, I don't know, $6M to change the street name to Raider Way.

They have to pay the costs to the city for the name change as well as all the businesses on that street (think new stationary, web updates, mailings to customers, etc.).

Article says it's like $7,500 city costs.

Schedule released. (Early games inter-conference, so if they have to be cancelled, may not be as big a deal.)

If they have games with fans, I need tickets to the Bills game on Oct. 4th. Willing to trade Knights tickets for them.

There are sort of other things going on right now, if you look at the rest of the forum it would seem no one cares about the Knights either.

The Raiders have also played no games in town yet so this seems a very early time to think this is the case.
