Eat News 4745 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 From what I heard, the UNLV stadium is too small, the locker rooms are too small, and there isn't enough of a buffer around the stadium for security purposes. Lol, The Raiders fans would trash, burn and loot that place at the first home game. At the second home game, the tweakers / meth heads would strip all the copper wire and pipes out of the walls and sell them to the recycling goons. LVMPD is gonna love the raiders and those fans.

A3N 1002 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Who knew Mark Davis' fashion defining haircut could make people so rabid? Don't fight the broken bowl haircut, embrace it!

24994J 5577 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Who knew Mark Davis' fashion defining haircut could make people so rabid? Don't fight the broken bowl haircut, embrace it! I don't know why they're not using his haircut as an inspiration for the stadium design. Picture it now, the 'Mark Davis Bowl Cut Bowl' (presented by Campbell's or Kellogg cereal or something that goes in a bowl).

Ya know, I think the Carson stadium concept took Davis' haircut as inspiration. Of course many thought it looked like a toilet bowl, too...

mardek1995 200 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 What about the NBA or MLS? Don't they have any sights on Las Vegas? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15631-teams-moving-in-to-vegas/page/2/#findComment-170179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cna247 174 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 So to give an idea, he is right about the A's moving. Now with the Raiders leaving it actually gives the A's prime opportunity to start the project certainly if Oakland is willing to play ball. Tampa is the only one and Las Vegas is not on MLB's radar but Portland and Charlotte and yes Montreal are on MLB's radar at this instant. Looks like Charlotte and Montreal would be the best fits geographically for the time being, as well as the most MLB-ready. Divisions could be set-up like this: AL East: Toronto, NYY, Boston, Baltimore NL East: Montreal, NYM, Philly, Washinton AL North: Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago WS, Minnesota NL North: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago C, Milwaukee AL South: Charlotte, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, Texas NL South: Atlanta, Miami, St. Louis, Houston AL West: Arizona, Los Angeles A, Oakland, Seattle NL West: San Diego, Los Angeles D, San Francisco, Colorado A few notes: 1. If St. Louis and Chicago bulk at being split up, then you can slide St. Louis (and KC) to the North, Pittsburgh (and Detroit) to the East, and Washington (and Baltimore) to the South. 2. Notice the order. Sets up perfectly for Interleague Natural Rivals: East: TOR-MON, NYY-NYM, BOS-PHL, BAL-WAS North: DET-PIT, CLE-CIN, CWS-CHC, MIN-MIL South: CHA-ATL, TB-MIA, KC-STL, TEX-HOU West: ARIZ-SD, LAA-LAD, OAK-SF, SEA-COL 3. Yes, Houston is restored to the National League and Arizona takes its place in the American League. If you look at a map of MLB teams, doing this balances things out so that each area/region has 1 AL team and 1 NL team. Also puts all the Mountain and Pacific teams in the West divisions, and puts both Texas and Houston in time zone friendly divisions. If the MLB were to ever expand to 36, I think Portland (to NL to balance Seattle in AL) and Las Vegas/Salt Lake (to AL to balance Colorado in NL), and Nashville (to AL) and Oklahoma City (to NL).

Good concept. I think MLB would have a very hard time doing a league/division realignment given the rivalries. You alluded to SLT/CHC, but you also have the Angels/Rangers. Also, i'd be more inclined in leaving AZ in the NL West--given that it has been in the NL/West since it's inception and the fact that the time zone is not that far off from west coast time. I would move COL out of the NL, though. It's geographically isolated-- and it's closer to a few AL Central teams. And, i've heard of Austin and San Antonio as potential MLB markets. LV, Nashville and OKC are a long shot... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15631-teams-moving-in-to-vegas/page/2/#findComment-170510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
