More From Oakland Raiders
Despite relocation rumors, Mark Davis keeps boosting hopes of Raiders fans. However, the words and actions of the Raiders don’t seem to match. According to this ESPN article, the Raiders have offices set up in LA in preparation for a stadium deal there. There are a few possible explanations for this inconsistency between saying they will stay and actually doing it.
Perhaps the Raiders are using LA as leverage to pressure Oakland officials into helping the team stay. Oakland has asserted numerous times that public funds won’t be used to finance a new stadium in the East Bay.
