The franchise's move to Las Vegas created mixed feelings across Raider Nation. After a quarter of a century in Oakland, the Raiders will play their first season in Las Vegas this fall.
Some have celebrated the move, others feel betrayed by the organization that never seems to stay in one market for too long.
"For those fans who are looking forward to the move, who are embracing the move, I am delighted," former Raiders CEO Amy Trask told NBC Sports' Mike Tirico on "Lunch Talk Live" on Monday. "And for those fans who are heartbroken by the move, I am heartbroken for them. And there will be fans, there are fans that fall into each of those categories. Some fans will follow the team to Las Vegas when games are ultimately played there, some fans will say 'no, I've had enough,' my heart is with the latter, and I'm happy for the former."

Due to the overall allure of Las Vegas, Trask expects there to be a "paradigm shift" at Raiders games when it comes to the ratio of Silver and Black fans with those of visiting teams.
"When you went to a game in Oakland, that stadium was 95, 98 percent full of Raider fans," Trask added. "While there will be a lot of Raider fans of course at those games in Las Vegas, there will also be a lot of fans of the visiting team because when we start going back to sporting events and when fans are admitted to sporting events, if your team is playing the Raiders on the road and you can go to only one road game to see your team, well come on we all say Vegas Vacation, you're going to Vegas."

The team's awe-inspiring new stadium only adds to the attraction for potential opponents.
No matter what, it won't be the same fan experience that came to be expected from the Coliseum. But don't think that the true diehards in Raider Nation still won't find a way to bring that Black Hole spirit to Sin City.
