The Raiders' original Oakland home was Frank Youell Field (1962-65), which sat on the site of what are now parking lots for Laney College.. Edit: a little factoid about Frank Youell I didn't realize until today...besides a longtime Oakland city councilman, he was also an undertaker.

You know, there’s a certain temporary stadium in Sacramento on state fairgrounds property that already has expansion permits in place for situations similar to this one...

LMU Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Has St. Louis been brought up? The dynamic of Raider fans and Cardinal fans under the same roof would be the ultimate social experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dynamic of Raider fans and Cardinal fans under the same roof would be the ultimate social experiment. Would be a unmitigated disaster IMO as the Chiefs have aggressively marketed themselves to the people of St. Louis. Saw the AFC Championship Game at Fox Sports Midwest by Busch Stadium and the place was pretty full with 90% of the people there were wearing Chiefs gear. So, I'd say that Clark Hunt voting for the Rams to move to LA has worked out quite well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have a suggestion for the Silver & Black...there were once two New York Giants, there were once two St. Louis Cardinals...so, to celebrate the smallish Midwestern cities that originally made up the early NFL, let there be two Racine Raiders, if only for a year. We even have a still-standing former NFL stadium. All kidding aside, San Diego might be their best bet.

I'm sure that with the Fleet and XFL (?) there and/or coming, they won't want to go through the trouble to field a NFL team for one year before they leave again.

DEAD! Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Or, just have a travelling home/road (freak) show. Pick any eight non-NFL cities across the country like Boise, Louisville, Salt Lake, El Paso, Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook. I saw, I came, I left.
