A lot of talk has focused on the Raiders moving to a brand new city and playing in a brand new stadium, and rightfully so. But something was brought up that I hadnt really given much thought to yet. The weather.

As someone who has gone to Las Vegas my fair share of times during the summer, I can confirm that it gets very, very, very hot there. A lot hotter than Oakland in the summer.

Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock said him and his head coach Jon Gruden have been talking to others who have been in their shows before about how to beat the heat in Las Vegas.

Heres what Mayock had to say during an interview with ESPN Las Vegas.

Weve had some conversations with people who have coached [in Vegas] before, like Tony Sanchez who was at UNLV, and just asked about what time we have to be done practicing, or what can we do outside? The advantage we have, as opposed to UNLV, is that we have the grass fields outside, we have the indoor climate-controlled filed, and we have a stadium.

So, we really have three different places that we can rotate through, and based on what we heard, if were going to be outside, we probably have to be done by 10, 10:30 in the morning in July and August. I think we can figure that out because we have three different surfaces to practice on, but the harder part is we dont even know what the deal is with training camp and the acclimation period.

I guess the good thing is the fact they have multiple options and they have indoor options. However, you still have to respect them for being out there in those conditions.

Personally, I cant even imagine what it would be like tailgating for a Raiders game out there when its 90-100 degrees. But hey, with all the fun youd be having, who even cares.
