To the surprise of no one, the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas still doesn’t appear to be going as planned. The Raiders have resumed talks with Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum officials for the first time since the City of Oakland filed an antitrust lawsuit against the team last December, Larry Beil of San Francisco’s ABC7 News reports.

It’s not everyday you see a team re-engage with an entity that once said it “brazenly violated federal antitrust law” in a court filing, but, well, it’s becoming clear that the Raiders need Oakland more than they thought right now.


quote:

Fortunately for the Raiders, a $7.5 million rent offer at the Coliseum is still in the table, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Such a return would be pretty embarrassing for a team that probably thought it would be saying goodbye to Oakland at this point, and lord knows that Oakland fans might not be so gracious, but at least it’s there.

The Niners have also reportedly expressed that they would be open to sharing Levi’s Stadium with the Raiders next year, despite blocking the Oracle Park move. Again, not a great option, but at least an option for a team in an awkward situation. With talks between the Raiders and the Coliseum reportedly resuming, it appears that the team might be going with the former option.

that would give 8 teams an unfair scheduling advantage... They'd get 9 home games instead of 8

Nope, SF blocked the deal.


Also what the hell is this blogger talking about? The Raiders were always supposed to play in Oakland until they move.

shite ownership is shite ownership

You have a moron running the org, Stan, while a crook, was smart enough to get his shite in motion years before he left. He was looking at land back in 2012. He just lied and put out historic bad football to make his case to bolt.

You have a bowl hair cut moron running the Raiders, this should be expected, when you have said person running the club.

Davis is too busy building his mega mansion in Vegas. 15 car garage for his old minivan.
