On the podcast with Amaury, There’s zero chance that the city of Oakland builds a football and baseball only stadium that’s out of the question that’s not going to happen out of public revenue. The A’s have a much better shot than the Raiders. Before this Las Vegas idea came about because it’s baseball you play more games you going to generate more revenue and at home you play 81 games and the A’s look like the benefactor.
The way it looks right now it looks impossible to keep two teams to keep playing at the Oakland Coliseum. Major League Baseball doesn’t like the shared facility and that it could cause a serious injury to an outfielder with the torn field after a football game during baseball season when football gets started. Also what would happen if the A’s were in the playoffs right now and you have the Raiders going at the same time? So there are problems with having two major franchises going at the same time.
The City of Las Vegas is prepared to put up the money in public funds to bring the Oakland Raiders to town. There is only one entity standing in the way of such a move the NFL Board of Governors. Former Oakland Raiders owner the late Al Davis tried to move the Raiders to Los Angeles and had to fight the NFL Board and sued to move. Will current Raiders owner Mark Davis be able to do the same thing if the NFL tries to block the Raiders from moving again?
