The City of Oakland files lawsuit against Raiders and NFL
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
I've long disliked the way these franchises generally force/coerce city governments to fun their new stadiums or major renovations with taxpayer dollars, all while raising their prices at the gate.
Best of luck to the city of Oakland.

It's just a mess. I prefer the Raider's being in Oakland, even as a random fan from the east coast that got into them as a kid due to Bo Jackson. But the stadium has been a joke for years with playing with damn baseball infield dirt the first several homes games and just being an old ass stadium in general. At the same time, I hate how much pro teams fleece tax payers for stadium deals these days. So I don't have a strong stance either way. Though it seems like a frivolous suit as the Raiders have kept to their contracts on using the stadium and are free to leave as they've been year to year the past few years on the lease.
Oakland should be focusing on how not to lose the last professional team in the city. Warriors and Raiders are gone.
And yeah I would love to see the Raiders stay in Oakland, but both parties have allowed the Raiders to play in that stadium far too long. The field has long been garbage and unsuitable for NFL games. Just look at how the Steelers lost their game on Sunday, due to shit turf.

Being a bay area sports fan, it's hard seeing the raiders go to vegas. I still love seeing the football games play on a little dirt, but again, that's as a fan that like to see something different than every other team.
Gosh, it doesn't look pretty, but I hope the raiders move back to Oakland in 15 years of Vegas is a bust. It would be really cool if Oakland could make a multiyear sports complex for baseball and football, but one that would actually be great and no real compromise other than schedule maybe.
Really sucks losing the Raiders, especially after their return from L.A. after leaving Oakland once already.

I don't get it. Are there no college football stadiums in Vegas or anything they could just play in? Just get out of Oakland already
Sam Boyd stadium is where UNLV plays and doesn't meet the NFL's standards.
NFL is a dysfunctional organization that can't make proper contingency plans. Should just strip them of their non-profit status and see how that goes
Must be a super garbage stadium if the crumbling raccoon infested toilet bowl that is the coliseum or the MLS stadium that only has a like 20k capacity both got the rubber stamp of approval
It's pretty old but I think it has more to do with the number of suites and boxes.
