I believe they already were.

I just heard the mayor on SirriusNFL and she basically said Oakland has a viable plan for a stadium right next to the Oakland Coliseum but the Raiders don't want to play there. All the infrastructure questions have been answered, as well as a demo date for the old stadium (2024). The Raiders could be playing there by 2020. When asked what would she do if the Raiders move to Las Vegas, she said "nothing. There are certainly better economic opportunities for that 103 acre site that would create more jobs than a football stadium". When asked if other NFL owners actually have a monetary incentive for teams to move....meaning the 50 some million they will all receive as a result of the Rams, Chargers and Raiders relocation fees......she said Mark Davis just needs to admit he wants out of Oakland no matter what."

Interesting

What would that lesson be?

"If you want to keep your NFL team that needs a new stadium, figure out a way to build a new stadium before they ask to leave the city"?

"If you want to keep your NFL team that wants a new stadium, figure out a way to take taxpayer money from schools, roads, police etc and give it to rich men so they can become richer."

Lot less stressful for Kroenke this time around. He looks relaxed.

The lesson cities keep learning is the NFL is a privately owned business...
