YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Bold strategy, Cotton... Quote With no lease for the stadium in Oakland — or anywhere else — in place, the Raiders have begun the process of calling season ticket holders and telling them that they don’t know where they are going to play next season, but ticket representatives will stay in touch Edited February 25, 2019 by YoloinOhio 4
Augie Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Forfeit every home game and you’re half way to Gruden getting his first choice at QB? 1
The Senator Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Well that must make pretty hard to sell tickets! Too bad they tore down San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium and Candlestick Park - especially Candlestick. It was just recently demolished (2014-2015) and nothing is being done with the land. I’m thinking the Raiders will wind up at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. It holds 63,000, and the UC Golden Bears don’t play there on Sundays. . Edited January 29, 2019 by The Senator
Nick the Greek Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Why would anyone go to games? The team is selling out on the city. If a team I followed every did that, they wouldn’t get one dime from me. 7 1
Matty the Dustmop Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The 1st team in NFL history to play 16 games on the road....maybe 4 in London 1 in Paris 2 in Mexico and 1 either in Iraq or Afganastan 3
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Just go to somewhere near Vegas now and build the fan base up. Might as well get that dead year out of the way so the new stadium might have some raider fans in it
WhoTom Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 https://www.samboydstadium.com/ Quote It has also been suggested that Sam Boyd Stadium could serve as a temporary home for the Raiders should fan support in Oakland fall to levels that could not reasonably be accommodated at the facility (the Los Angeles Chargers came to a similar arrangement and played at the StubHub Center, a stadium that is even smaller than Sam Boyd Stadium, while in the 1990s the Tennessee Oilers came to a similar arrangement in Nashville after they left an apathetic Memphis market before their new stadium was ready). The exact future of the stadium remains up in the air, as UNLV officials are considering selling it or turning it into a Raiders practice facility.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Boyd_Stadium
YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Is Levi’s an option to lease? Seems like it could impact FA too not knowing where they will be

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Whenever I feel bad about the Bills, I get happy than I’m not a Raiders fan. the sad part is they probably will be one of the richest franchises in a few years. I feel bad for fans of a team that moves (except the Jags) but the Vegas Raiders are going to blow up.
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 The Raiders have bungled this move tremendously. That being said, the blame for the move rests clearly on the city of Oakland and the state. The team has tried to get support to build a new stadium in Oakland for several years. When they changed their focus to a move away from Oakland, they had little trouble finding a good deal. Having had the misfortune to attend a game in that stadium, I don't blame Davis for taking this extreme measure. As some other posts have indicated, there are options. The Chargers had to deal with this problem and did not have great options either.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 They should just play at Sam Boyd this year in Vegas. That to me is a no brainer.

They'd be better off playing at Stanford. Although they could wind up at the stadium where the San Francisco Giants play baseball.

sullim4 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I see them sharing the Cardinals' facility in Glendale. After what's been happening with the Chargers I just don't see the NFL putting them in an undersized stadium. StubHub Center has been a disaster. It'd give the Chiefs and Broncos two away games that are essentially home games. 1

It makes sense, but it would have to be the worst NFL venue of all time. That place is a complete dump. It's one year though, so meh.
