SAN FRANCISCO — With the Raiders’ chances of moving to Los Angeles having renewed hope, Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf said the team’s focus seems to be geared on securing a one-year lease extension at O.co Coliseum.
“It’s my impression that’s the Raiders’ priority,” Schaaf said Monday at a Super Bowl 50 host committee press conference. “That’s the communications that I’ve heard from them. Of course, I’m anxious to get them back to the table to talk about a new stadium.”
Schaaf isn’t involved in the lease extension talks, with takes place between the Raiders and the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority, but she did say she believes those talks have begun.
