A's pass on counter-punch after Mark Davis' criticism
The A’s reacted to a verbal call-out by Raiders owner Mark Davis on Thursday with essentially a non-reaction.
During a press conference to announce the Raiders’ one-year lease extension at the Coliseum, Davis accused the A’s of dragging their feet when addressing whether he would share the 120-acre Coliseum property for two new stadiums to be built.
“If in fact the A’s do want to stay in the Oakland Coliseum site, they need to commit ASAP so that we can go ahead and design and take down the Coliseum, provide all the infrastructure that’s necessary to build two new brand new stadiums in Oakland, and two teams would then come back in and play in two brand new stadiums,” Davis said.
