OAKLAND — The head of the Coliseum Stadium Authority will update his board Wednesday morning about the ongoing talks to have the Raiders play the 2019 season in Oakland. It now appears the authority board will not vote on a deal until next week.
Executive Director Scott McKibben declined to comment on negotiations but plans to meet with the authority board in closed session beginning at 9 a.m.
Under the proposed lease, the Raiders will pay $7.5 million, plus about $1.2 million they owe from previous parking fees to play nine home games in Oakland where they have a devoted fan base.
