Owners accept go :
In March last year at the yearly league meeting in Phoenix, a 31-1 vote from NFL owners declared that the Raiders relocation to Las Vegas after 45 seasons in the Bay Area. The city of Oakland wished to maintain the team, which has been located at the East Bay area of the San Francisco Bay Area since 1960, just relocating to Los Angeles from Oakland in 1982, and then returning in 1995. But a last-ditch attempt from town ’s mayor,” Libby Schaaf, and particularly because of a $750 million public subsidy from Las Vegas toward the new arena, was too little too late.
Baltimore Ravens bargain :
Courtesy of this venture, Caesars will make branded arena entrances, media, radio and print assets, electronic signage, as well as alumni, player and cheerleader appearances. The Raiders aren’t the gambling giant’s NFL venture, however, since the firm via its Horseshoe Casino Baltimore inked a multi-year marketing bargain last month with the other NFL team, the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens bargain is Maryland’s just venture involving an NFL team along with a casino.
PASPA serves as catalyst:

Dallas Cowboys led the fee :
The Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones were the first NFL team to make the most of the new lucrative sponsorship opportunity and only days after the statement by Rolapp named the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma-owned and operated casino and resort at Thackerville, Oklahoma the casino of the group .
