Kyle Burger ? @kyle_burger Follow Follow @kyle_burger More BREAKING: Birmingham is partnering with Tucson, AZ in an effort to host the @Raiders for the 2019 season. @citycouncilbham William Parker tells me the plan will be for each city to split hosting duties. #RaiderNation




can't think of more suitable home for the Raiders than the old gray lady:

Seems like San Antonio would have jumped all over that

Why not just play in UNLV's current stadium?

Why doesn't San Diego jump all over this?
Fans in San Diego now hate the Chargers. What better way to show that they hate them then by cheering for one of their biggest rivals. Once the Raiders are in Vegas, they will have gained several fans in the San Diego area which is driving distance to Las Vegas.

Because it's pretty terrible.

I'm an Arizona fan and Arizona Stadium is not incredible, but it's 10x better than UNLV. UNLV's stadium is the worst CFB stadium I've ever been to.

This also won't happen, but it would be fun to have the Raiders in town for a year. It's a temporary economic boost with no long term commitment and no real expenditures.

9ers blocked raiders playing within city of sf, not all of California. Oakland is in California and you can see it from sf.

I am 100% all in on this. Sign me up for whatever whenever. Will ride my beluga whale to the game. Would be absolutely incredible. The nfl fans at the tide and tiger would be worth price of admission alone.

Can’t wait.

Not in my mind!

Also, a Birmingham city counselor did say we should go after the raiders. What an f’ing joke. Although legion field my legitimately be a step up from the coliseum.

The Cardinals need to squash this, and the rest of the NFL needs to back them up.

They would probably rather be doing anything else in San Diego than going to a bad football game for petty reasons

Birmingham AL is not be this lucky. But every home game would sell out here. I'd go to all of them.
