Las Vegas Raiders were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) when they were known as the Oakland Raiders. They joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. In 1982 they relocated to Los Angeles,CA before returning to Oakland in 1995. In 2020, they will become the first NFL team to play in the state of Nevada. Their new stadium, built at a cost of $1.8bn, is situated in the Las Vegas metropolitan area just off of the inflamous Las Vegas Strip.
The Raiders have won 1 AFL Championship (1967) and 3 Super Bowls (XI, XV, and XVIII), therefore the team has a championship drought of 36 seasons and have not qualified for the playoffs since 2016 (3 seasons). The team is worth $2.4bn.
