The Official Oakland Raiders Offseason thread

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Mark only has 500 million and im for damn sure he's not getting a loan...

So either sell portion of the team or see what San Diego has to offer

San Diego city officials didnt give a shyt about their own team, what makes u think they gonna give a fukk about a team from Northern Cali?

It's funny how both teams in Oakland had minority owners running the shots forever. Lew basically had one of his friends as the real owner and he was in the cut letting Lew do whatever he wanted. The real owner is finally fixing the squad/stadium up now that Oakland is rising in prominence.



Nah B. A's paying for the stadium with private sector funds

A's players go all-in on Oakland-centric attitude

With the arrival of a new club president, Dave Kaval, in November, the A’s focus has been on building a baseball-only stadium. The A’s have talked the talk for a decade, but four sites – Howard Terminal near Jack London Square, Laney College near the Lake Merritt BART station, Brooklyn Basin across Interstate 880 and a new park on the Coliseum grounds should the Raiders move – have been locked down.

One of those probably will be picked by year’s end for a privately funded stadium. And the Coliseum isn’t necessarily the favorite. Ken Pries, the club’s VP of broadcasting and communications, said Saturday there was at least a chance that the club would select one of the downtown sites even if the Raiders left, freeing up the Coliseum site.

A stadium at brooklyn basin would be cool, but traffic would be horrendous.

I've been reading for years the city preferred a's.
Manfred: A's 'first priority' for Oakland mayor over Raiders

More opportunities to recoup. 81 homes games vs 10 home games.

They'd need to make a Bart stop there or add a train to make it work but it would be dope as fukk

The way I read it, it seems like Mark tried to flex his muscle to show the other owners that he's their equal on the business side, but it backfired like a motherfukker on him.
