Las Vegas Raiders-UNLV Still Have Stadium Issues To Work Out

There might be an agreement to build a stadium. And there might be an agreement for the Oakland Raiders to move in and become the Las Vegas Raiders. And there might be an agreement for the UNLV football team to share their stadium.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that everything has been worked out.

The Las Vegas Stadium Authority was presented with a list last week of issues that still beed to be worked out before UNLV can start playing in the yet-to-be built 65,000 seat stadium. (Subscribe to local news alerts on Patch).

It's not a long list - just four pages with 119 separate items.

There's the expected big items to be worked out such as how much rent will UNLV pay to use the stadium for the six home games they will play each season.

Then there's issues like signage, colors, and banners.

The two will also have to figure out revenue issues.

Here's that list:

1. Suites, Luxury Boxes, Skyboxes, Super-suites, Clubs Areas and Premium and Non-Premium Tickets i. Suites, etc. for the University’s use ii. Suites, etc. for the University to sell and/or sublicense iii. Food and beverage consumed in the suites, etc. iv. Ticket sales, delivery and administration v. Ticket access for StadCo vi. Maximum and minimum ticket prices vii. Discounted tickets viii. Complimentary tickets, set asides and locations ix. Scholarship donor tickets x. Student tickets, set asides and locations xi. Ticket fees and charges, including commissions
2. Merchandise Sales
   1. UNLV should have the ability sell merchandise at the Stadium
   2. UNLV should retain profits from those sales
   3. Quality of goods sold
   4. Types of goods that can be sold
3. Concessions
   1. Concessions will be sold at the facility.
   2. UNLV should receive the net revenue from the concession sales.
   3. What about donated food and beverage?
4. Parking
   1. Access to and use of spaces
   2. Allowable rate
   3. UNLV should be able retain all net parking revenue
5. Television and Radio Broadcast Rights
   1. UNLV should have all rights to the broadcast and disseminate by radio, television, telephone, or other method
   2. UNLV home games and to retain all revenues therefrom

And, really. That's just part of the revenue list.

Fortunately, the stadium's not supposed to be built - let alone open - for a couple of years. Plenty of time to work things out.
