Raiders President Marc Badain says the team has identified another 27,000 parking spots within a 1.25-mile radius of the stadium, but he didn't disclose the exact locations.

Badain told the Las Vegas Stadium Authority on Thursday that the Raiders are finalizing agreements for those 27,000 parking spots. That's in addition to the planned 3,000 parking spots at the 62-acre stadium site.

The team also has identified more than 100,000 possible parking spots within a 3-mile radius of the stadium, but some would require event-day shuttles. Badain said the team has been discussing shuttling options with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada.

"You've heard me say it before, but the Raiders take (parking) as serious as anyone," he said. "We do it now at our current stadium."

Parking has been one of the biggest challenges facing the stadium project. In September, the Clark County Commission granted the team a one-year waiver to secure the minimum required parking — one spot per every four stadium seats. That translates to 16,250 parking spaces for the 65,000-seat stadium.

The Stadium Authority on Thursday approved in form a lease agreement with the Raiders, which includes a clause that requires the team to provide parking that meets county standards and also is consistent with "first-class, premier NFL facilities." If the team doesn't meet those parking requirements, the Stadium Authority can pull money from a capital projects fund — which includes room-tax revenue slated for long-term maintenance — to remedy the situation. The Raiders are responsible for both parking and stadium maintenance.

The lease agreement was one of the first documents the Stadium Authority approved in form Thursday. Board Chairman Steve Hill said the "approval in form" is contingent on any feedback the Stadium Authority receives from both the county and NFL after those entities review the documents; however, he doesn't expect significant changes to any of the agreements.

NFL team owners are convening at the end of March for their annual league meeting, hence why the board needs to wrap up the many findings and agreements necessary for the project.
