Here is a copy of what I wrote and was printed in the LV Sun: *

Letter: Let’s put MNF games here

Fri, Oct 8, 1999 (9:32 a.m.)

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman should not be looking for a professional team to occupy a new downtown sports area. This is Las Vegas. Think bigger. We want every NFL team here.

We should be the permanent host for every Monday Night Football game.

We would have three-day weekends every week of football season with fans from two distant cities visiting Las Vegas. Hotel rooms would be occupied both Sunday and Monday nights. ABC would not have to move equipment weekly. Often the NFL has complained that starting games in the East at 9 p.m. gave fans too much after-work time to get into trouble; 6 p.m. here would be perfect.

It may even be worth the loss not to take bets on the Monday Night games. Let's see what the Resort Association and the Convention Authority thinks of funding this concept.
