Does the Raiders' move to LV help the Niners?

Absolutely, once the Raiders move the 49ers will get the whole Bay area market.

help them what?

Hopefully it will result in a neutral game being shown on TV instead of a Raider game on Sundays.

I wonder if it will help them financially. See the point I made earlier.

yes. bring on the superbowls

Help the 49ers do what, fill the stadium when the team is terrible?

As someone who is attending college in San Diego and lives in the Bay Area during breaks, the greedy side of me is happy about the Chargers/Raiders moves for this reason. I'm hoping more games that I actually have an interest in are aired here. The 49ers have been abysmal the past two years but the fact that I have to watch my sports apps more intensely than a television screen has made it even worse.

We won superbowls when the Raiders were in LA, so I would have to say yes, it will help us, I don't know how, but it will!

The curse of the Raiders on the Bay Area ended in 2010 (Giants and W's have won trophies)

The curse of the Raiders on the Niners still has 3 years left...

I don't see the Raiders' leaving as hurting the Niners in any way. It does shift the west coast NFL further south, but as some have pointed out, they can play each other every preseason to cut down on the traveling. The Niners were the only team in the Bay Area for @ 15 years before Al Davis put roots down in Oakland. They'll be missed, no doubt, but it's not like they're that far away. It's an hour + flying time from SF to LV. I actually think the Raiders being in LV is good for the NFL and in particular, the AFC West. It sucks for Oakland, and that's the real downer in this entire relocation. I feel for ya, Raiders fans. I really do.

I think the Raiders in LV is awful for them. I can't imagine the challenges of keeping a young mans mind in it when that rookie shows up in Vegas all day every day.....

As for fan bases it is absolutely good for the 49ers. More young kids will gravitate towards the 49ers if we can start winning, maybe even kids in a traditionally Raiders household and they grow up to be Faithful and so on and so forth. Every kid wants to root for the local team. I envied kids who got to root for a local team growing up in AZ (pre Tards days when I chose my alliances)

The Raiders final game in Oakland was Dec. of 1981.

The Raiders first game back in Oakland was Sept. of 1995.

The 49ers won their 1st SB in Jan. of 1982.

The 49ers won their 5th SB in Jan. of 1995.

Weve technically never won while the Raiders were in Oakland, so now we'll go back into dynasty mode with the Bay to ourselves.

This quite a good point

Along with one white guy, one black guy, maybe a white couple in the background... that might be the answer... maybe sprinkle in a little of whatever the dude in the pic is

Yes, it will allow the local sports media to devote its loving attention fully to the Niners.

It helps Las Vegas. It will be really cool to have a team there.
