The Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Authority voted on Friday to approve a new stadium lease with the Raiders.
It was reported last month that the team and stadium reached an agreement on a new lease, but it was still pending official approval. With the Coliseum Authority signing off on the new deal, it is all but assured the Raiders will play there next season. The Oakland City Council and Alameda County Board of Supervisors still also have to vote on the deal, but members of those groups comprise the Coliseum Authority, so those votes are expected to just be a formality at this point.
