Oakland public officials were ecstatic when the Raiders withdrew their application to relocate to Los Angeles. The NFL approved the Rams to move to the nation’s second-largest media market, giving the Chargers an option to join them.
That development gave the East Bay hub more time to keep the Raiders in town. Mayor Libby Schaaf hopes to make the most of this overtime period while it last.
Schaaf said Wednesday she understands the team’s frustration with stadium process, and hopes to fix that sentiment in coming weeks.
“We recognize that we have work to do,” Schaaf told CSN Bay Area on Tuesday.
