raiders owner mark davis is losing momentum on his plan to move the silver and black to sin city. kron four's mark carpenter explains - why

after the break.

there's renewed hope in oakland's fight to keep the raiders from leaving. as

mark davis' plan to move to las vegas...appears to be falling apart. the raiders owner seems to have upset the one person couldn't afford to...the man who offered 650- million dollars of his own money. last night-- casino mogul sheldon adelson announced he's withdrawing from the project... and this morning--- davis lost another key asset. mark carpenter joins us with the details... mark? before today, davis maintained the las vegas project could happen with or without adelson because he could seek financing from the investment bank goldman sachs. but, now that option is may no longer be on the table... as reports say that goldman sachs would only do a deal if adelson was involved. this afternoon-- i spoke with chris dobbins,

who's part of the efforts to keep the raiders here... and he's hoping that with no investors, davis cashes out and walks away from the vegas plan. chris dobbins- "obviously it's taken a hit. and we are hoping that it's a permanent hit and mr. davis will realize that the oakland coliseum is the best place to keep the raiders and hopefully, we'll have a long term solution here in oakland." and after appearing to have so much support, mark davis' grand las vegas plan....may ultimately end up being a mirage. with no sheldon adelson or goldman sachs in his corner, the raiders owner...has to find a new billionaire friend that's willing to help bankroll...a 1-point-9 billion dollar stadium. davis maintains he's committed to moving, but with no way to pay for it, he may be forced to consider what ronnie lott has to offer. in a statement released today-- lott and the fortress investment group reinforced they have the land, the funding and the fans to keep the team in the bay area... and quote-- ''if the raiders want to stay in oakland, we are more than ready to be a partner in

making that happen.' it's been expected that nfl owners would discuss relocation when they meet in march, but dobbins thinks the only option worth talking about is having the team stay put. "without the financing there, it would definitely cause me to be concerned and that doesn't even include the relocation fee that we are gonna get a chunk of, so where's mr. davis gonna get his money from? we know that oakland is a great market for him, they've been successful there, even when they well on the field, so if i'm an nfl owner, i'm looking at this and saying, 'hey, i'm not voting for to keep the raiders in oakland." with the owners meeting in march, that means davis has a little under two months to find another financeer. but without any funding, the league may choose to stop the relocation conversation entirely. still ahead... we are going live out to super bowl city - hear from the players who attended opening night - in a live report next.

us, we're usually oil and water. we don't mix. but for us, it's a great facility...lays out really well. we've done it in arenas, we've done it in basketball and hockey and arenas."in fact, a hockey arena hosted last year's event...the s-a-p center in san jose, california. minute maid is a much bigger venue...more than twice the size...which means more fans... "we've tried to design it in a way where you forget you're in a baseball stadium, you know you're in a football event. two football teams walking out on stage. but it's a good marriage, the astros have been good partners."it certainly helps that they don't exactly need to use the park themselves for awhile. in houston, i'm andrew marden, now back to you.
