Just days after Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval signed a bill that permits a public contribution of $750 million for a possible $1.9 billion NFL stadium in Las Vegas, Commissioner Roger Goodell said that league approval is some distance away.

The NFL owners were set to fulfill in January to vote on whether the Raiders can relocate to Las Vegas, but there have been reports Wednesday that said a vote could happen a couple of months later.

Twenty four of the 32 owners must log out at the relocation.

According to a report from NBC, Goodell said Wednesday at an owners’ meeting in Houston that there’s “still a substantial amount of information that we have to gather with respect to the circumstances we see in Las Vegas, the opportunities and the challenges.”

NFL.com reported that Raiders owner Mark Davis gave a presentation at the relocation plan, reiterating his plan bring the NFL to Sin City.

While Goodell didn’t say gambling was a priority for a potential Raiders move, he did say that the NFL remains against legalized sports betting on a federal level—and also presumably in a state-by-state expansion. The NFL has fought New Jersey over sports betting.

“We think [sports betting] has an impact at the integrity of our game,” he said.

Davis plans to file the relocation paperwork in January.
