The Oakland Raiders are proposing to pay $1 a year in rent to play at a $1.9 billion domed stadium if the team moves to Las Vegas. Officials on both sides characterized a lease and use agreement presented to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority as a starting point for negotiations with the public entity that will own, but not operate, the yet-to-be-built facility. The Raiders last week filed paperwork with the NFL to move to Nevada, likely by the 2020 season.
