The Raiders are looking for a new home outside of Oakland.That search may soon lead them to a place with no professional sports to its name.

Autumn Wind, the fight song of the NFL's Raiders, is one of A Martinez's favorite sports songs.  

Much like the wind, the black and silver have blown up and down California .. from Oakland to LA and back again...

Over the years the team's been linked to moves to Texas and San Diego and even back to LA

Now there's talk of a new home in Las Vegas

Here with more is Rick Velotta -- he writes for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Full disclosure though, the group looking to kick start the stadium in Vegas owns the publication where Velotta works.

 And if it goes through the 65,000-seat domed stadium will be ready for delivery in 2020.

The cost? A mere $1.4 billion.
