Goodell said it's up to the Raiders to decide whether they want to try to build a stadium in Oakland or share the facility at Levi's Stadium with the 49ers -- an idea Niners CEO Jed York never has dismissed.

"They have to make that determination, whether they're in a new stadium in Oakland or whether they feel that it's best to join this stadium," Goodell said, according to the Bay Area Sports Guy, who tweeted the commissioner's remarks. "We're working on that, and that's one of the decisions they'll have to make."


Personally as a Raiders fan I say frick that, but no other options are available it seems. Raiders have about $400 million ready to build a new stadium now, but Oakland is broke and can't offer any help to reach the about $600-800 million to build a new one.

And now with the vote yesterday the A's are staying in O.co for another two years, the Raiders were trying to get it demolished next year and build a new one.

I just want a new damn stadium already, or use the $400 million to renovate O.co as best you can when the A's move to San Jose.

Goodell has hinted that's what he's wanted for quite some time now, to have the Raiders share Levi Stadium like MetLife.

Never mind that people in the East Bay would have to trek it down to that butt ugly stadium I guess...

It's 45 minutes from San Fran and Oakland. It's in San Jose.

Remember that time when you didn't know that the Raiders gave up a draft pick for taking Pryor in the supplemental draft?

No because that isn't what I said, I said they didn't give up a pick that year because supplement counts against the following years draft not that years draft. But nice try.

I wonder what the condition of the raiders current stadium is. I'm assuming it's in poor shape?

As poor as a stadium still in use can be.
