Oakland Raiders executives will be in Reno on Thursday to tour potential sites for the team’s future summer training camps.

Marc Badain, president of the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders, is expected to join Democratic governor candidate Steve Sisolak and Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve for the three-stop tour of athletic grounds at UNR, Hug High School and Wooster High School.

The trio are scheduled to hold a press conference in Believe Plaza immediately after the tour, according to Sisolak’s campaign.

All three stops on Thursday’s tour are considered candidates to host the future Las Vegas Raiders’ off-season training activities. The team’s in-season practices will be held at a new, $75 million indoor facility in Henderson.

This week’s tour marks Raiders’ executives second recent swing through Reno, which has long been considered a contender to host the team’s summer training sessions.

Badain and other top Raiders brass stopped in the Biggest Little City for a similar tour in 2016, two months before state lawmakers handed the team a $750 million public funding package for its new stadium now under construction on the Las Vegas Strip.
