What they’re saying

“Truly excited about that. That was a relationship with the Raiders, the National Football League, and the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority working together as one. Super Bowl 58, we knocked it out of the park. We set the bar for what it means to host a Super Bowl, and I told them we promised to raise the bar for Super Bowl 63.”

— Mark Davis, Owner, Las Vegas Raiders

“I'm a big believer that every city raises the bar to the next, and I have no doubt Las Vegas will raise the bar from their previous Super Bowl. I think they're probably setting a new bar across the league.”

— Roger Goodell, Commissioner, National Football League

What’s next

The Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, which is set to begin on Thursday, April 23, in Pittsburgh. Fernando Mendoza is expected to be the team's selection.

The takeaway

The Raiders' successful negotiations with the NFL to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and the approval of Mark Davis' succession plan demonstrate the team's growing status as a marquee franchise and the city's emergence as a premier destination for major sporting events.
