UNLV Faces Challenges In Sharing Proposed Stadium With Raiders If Relocation Approved

If the Raiders gain approval to move to Las Vegas, the team and UNLV will "need to form a separate agreement on how the two entities will function together" in a proposed stadium, according to Adam Candee of the LAS VEGAS SUN. While most public discussion focuses on negotiations toward a lease agreement between the Raiders and the Las Vegas Stadium Authority board, the Raiders-UNLV agreement is another "vital document" that "offers as many questions and potential challenges." The Raiders "receive priority in the law both as a tenant and an events company." The draft document’s terms would allow the Raiders to "accept or reject not only potential UNLV football game times and dates, but other collegiate bowl games or showcase neutral-site contests as well." UNLV Senior VP/Finance & Business Gerry Bomotti said that the university’s primary concern in negotiations will be "ensuring a home-field advantage" for UNLV inside a stadium where the Raiders "control not only scheduling and field markings, but also naming rights and the facility’s day-to-day management." Bomotti also referenced "'a whole host of other issues' for discussion including food and beverage, parking, tailgating, advertising, signage and access to VIP amenities." For instance, digital signage like ribbon boards and scoreboards can be "adjusted easily from one day to the next, but fixed advertising and signs belonging to Raiders sponsors present less flexibility." UNLV officials "submitted their markups on the Raiders’ first draft to stadium authority counsel but have not heard back from the team on that input." Negotiations between UNLV and the Raiders also could focus on the team's "need for a temporary home" at Sam Boyd Stadium for the '18 and '19 seasons (LAS VEGAS SUN, 3/22).
