Once the A’s played their final home game last week, the conversion began. The only baseball-football stadium still used for Major League Baseball and NFL games, the Coliseum has turned into a football-only facility, and it’ll remain so the rest of 2018.
“I’m so happy about that. I’m not happy the A’s didn’t make the playoffs, I’m happy to be able to play on grass,” Raiders cornerback David Amerson said. “Especially for a defensive back.”
The Raiders will begin an unusual stretch of three straight home games beginning Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The following two weeks, the Raiders will host the Chargers and Chiefs in intradivision games.
