LAS VEGAS -- Backers of a proposed NFL stadium said theyve whittled their list to two sites just west of the Las Vegas Strip and refuse to accept any less than $750 million in public funding toward the project, which they hope will soon be home to the Raiders.Representatives from Majestic Realty and the Las Vegas Sands casino company updated an oversight committee Thursday on their quest to build a 65,000-seat domed stadium, showing off their slick renderings of the proposed venue in a video with AC/DCs Back in Black as a soundtrack. They lamented that the price tag rises on a daily basis and is now $1.9 billion, and said theyd walk away from the project if state lawmakers dont meet their minimum financial demand.Not to be difficult, but were not negotiable, said Sands President Rob Goldstein, who spoke on behalf of billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his family. If we cant get 750, we respectfully thank you but were going to move on.The Raiders have made little progress securing a new stadium in the Oakland area and have committed to lining up $500 million toward building a new one in Las Vegas. Any team relocation needs the blessing of three-quarters of NFL owners, so developers are rushing to prepare their pitch by January, when the owners next meet.Stadium supporters who presented a long site list earlier this summer said Thursday that theyve zeroed in on two land parcels south of the Mandalay Bay hotel complex. Theyve signed a preliminary agreement for their top candidate -- a 62-acre plot just west of Interstate 15 -- but also cited a secondary, 100-acre option at the Bali Hai Golf Club between the interstate and the Las Vegas Strip.Public funding would come from an increase in a Las Vegas-area hotel room tax and potentially from a special taxation district around the stadium. Proponents displayed sample room reservations from the Sands-owned Venetian casino to show the hotel tax hike would add about $1 to a nightly bill of $109.It would be so negligible it wouldnt even be worth being concerned about, Goldstein said.Officials said the stadium itself would be publicly owned, while the private investors would be on the hook for cost overruns but could potentially reap returns from their investment. Proponents also promised it would house UNLVs football team, which has long sought a stadium closer to campus, and hinted that an unnamed Major League Soccer franchise was also interested in using the space.Critics include the powerful Culinary Union, which represents about 57,000 hotel workers and argued that the NFL and the Sands can afford the project on their own.Theres been a lot of conversation on why are we giving money to billionaires, said Steve Hill, chair of the oversight committee and head of the Nevada Governors Office of Economic Development. The public is not making a contribution to a privately owned stadium.Developers urged the committee to work quickly to recommend the project to state lawmakers, who must approve any tax hikes and authorize a stadium board to oversee its operations. Sands officials want a special legislative session in September and say delaying action could jeopardize the project, but some top lawmakers want to wait until after the November election so the project doesnt affect campaign fundraising or sway votes.Stadium proponents also responded to concerns that the Raiders would move after the Las Vegas area invested in their venue, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Raiders President Marc Badain said the team would sign a lease that lasted as long as the debt -- 25 or 30 years -- and Sands officials said theyd hold the team accountable for standing by the Adelson familys major investment.Well be right there with you making sure Marc Badain will die here, Goldstein said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Basket Nike Pas Cher Homme .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back.
