Once moved to Las Vegas, the Raiders fans did not approve of the switch in home towns. This resulted in conflict between the Raider fans and the owners of the team.

There are a variety of reasons why Las Vegas would have benefited without the Raiders. Many fans are unhappy with Allegiant stadium itself, they claim that the stadium has a “corporate feel”, very different from the Oakland coliseum. Another downside to putting a stadium in Las Vegas is that because of the attractive tourist destination, there will be a more significant percentage of visiting fans. The NFL themselves were hesitant about approving the move because of Las Vegas’ ties to gambling. If players were to be irresponsible and gamble their money away their position on the team may be suspended. In addition to this, if a member of the team was to get involved with a troublesome gambler, deals may be constructed to influence the game. This is strictly prohibited by the NFL. The raider's ticket sales could decrease from this and result in money loss to the

    I feel there should have been more private investments, and that way, the city wouldn't be holding the debt of something that hasn't made good on the return.
