This move has been in the works for months, with the formal paperwork being filed in January. Once Mark Davis got the stadium funding secured, it was only a matter of time. An NFL team in Las Vegas will be something to see, and it’ll be fascinating to watch how the league handles the potential gambling interests that could pop up here.
