Oakland, Calif. (CNN Newsource) — The NFL is coming to Vegas!
National Football League owners voted Monday to approve the Raiders’ move from Oakland to Las Vegas.
The move had been anticipated for months.
The raiders received about $750 million from Nevada taxpayers last year to build a stadium in Las Vegas, and team owner Mark Davis is putting up $500 million.
Bank of America has committed to financing the rest.
The stadium, expected to cost nearly $2 billion, is planned to open in 2020.
The Raiders are expected to stay in Oakland in the meantime.
