Raiders News: Oakland to Play at Coliseum in 2019 Despite Lawsuit from City

The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum authority board voted Friday to allow the Oakland Raiders to play at the Coliseum in 2019, according to David DeBolt of Bay Area News Group.

While the City of Oakland filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the Raiders and the NFL in December and alleged that the Raiders' planned move to Las Vegas in 2020 was "illegal," talks between the Raiders and the city picked back up in February.

The previous lease between the Raiders and the Coliseum expired in February, but a new lease was agreed upon to allow the Raiders to spend one more season in Oakland before moving on to Vegas.
