Mac the Knife Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 The Las Vegas Raiders of Oakland are, by virtually everyone involved in the situation, apparently not going to be calling the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (sorry, I try to avoid corporate whoring unless I'm being paid myself) beyond the 2018 season. This despite the fact that at earliest their new stadium in Las Vegas won't be ready until 2020. Everyone involved is also saying that a one-year stay at luxuriously atrocious by NFL standards Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas is not a viable option. This in essence means that unless something changes, in 2019 the NFL's going to have a modern-day version of the Seattle Pilots: a team that plays in some city for one year, then relocates. Among the rumors floating around are that, of all places, San Diego is under consideration as a potential temporary home for the Raiders, which seems about as likely to go over about as well as... well, insert your own phrase here. It won't go over well. So, conjecture time: Where will the franchise currently known as the Oakland Raiders call home for its 2019 season? Oakland? Las Vegas? San Diego? San Antonio? Sacramento? Neptune? Make your best guess and discuss here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Would they be able to work out something with the Niners stadium? I vaguely remember that being mentioned as an option at some point. If nothing else it would be fun to have two teams with two wholly separate geographic identifiers in a stadium that isn't located in either one.

tBBP Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 There's gonna be three teams playing in LA next season, aren't there? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Levi's Stadium does have a 3rd locker room for this type of scenario but the 49ers would probably tell the Raiders to go kick rocks in a gravel pit in Irwindale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The Raiders will just either stay in Oakland or reach a deal with the Giants at AT&T Park. They cannot play in Berkeley http://news.berkeley.edu/2010/04/08/stadium/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Levi's makes too much sense; I see the NFL pressuring the Niners if they're cool to the idea. You could still call them "Oakland", there's already a locker room there for them, and only shacking up there for one season has to lessen the sting for the Niners. Personally, I'd like the Raiders in San Diego for one year. Make the Chargers return in disgrace for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Add some more temporary bleachers to the yard at Cal Expo and inject the Sacramento Raiders of Vegas via Oakland directly into my bloodstream, please.

They're already the Las Vegas Raiders of Oakland. What more d'ya want? Though if they play in Berkeley in 2019, I guess that'd make them the Las Vegas Raiders of Oakland at Berkeley. LVROB. That'd be colorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkell007 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Why not just have them play 8 different games(well 7 they will find away to have a game in Mexico City again) in all different California cities? The ultimate comedy on show on a tour!! Lol in all seriousness, would Stamford stadium be a option as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Why would they go to Levi's and remind everyone how easy it would have been to share a stadium that's actually closer to Oakland? May as well just take them on a tour of California and Nevada cities at this point. Not sure why Sam Boyd isn't good enough even as a one-year facility when the Chargers have spent two in Carson.
