SAN FRANCISCO _ NFL commissioner Roger Goodell Wednesday echoed the sentiments of Raiders owner Mark Davis with regard to the city of Oakland and Alameda County’s efforts to keep the team at its present site with a new stadium.
“We don’t have a deadline, but this is not a new issue we’re dealing with here,” Goodell said at a press conference following the conclusion of the spring owners meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. “The Raiders have been working on a stadium for years, it’s been debated, so we do need to have a proposal from people on how they’re going to be able to keep the Raiders in Oakland and do it on a basis that’s not only good for the community but good for the team long-term.
