The silver and black are officially bound for the Silver State as NFL owners voted 31-1 to approve the Raiders move from Oakland to Las Vegas. The team will continue to play at the Oakland Coliseum in 2017 and 2018, at a minimum, while a new venue is built off the Strip, with the decision marking the third NFL team in 14 months to relocate.

Following the decision, league commissioner Roger Goodell, Raiders owner Mark Davis and other key figures address the move in a press conference. “My father used to say that the greatness of the Raiders is in its future, and the opportunity to build a world-class stadium in the entertainment capital of the world is one opportunity that will give us the ability to achieve that greatness,” said Davis. “I have mixed feelings, obviously. I love Oakland, I love the fans in Oakland, and I know that there’s going to be disappointment and maybe some anger. I just hope that in the future, as we play in Oakland this year, that they understand that it wasn’t the players, it wasn’t the coaches that made this decision, but it was me that made it, and if they have anybody to talk to about it, it should be me.”
