Remember the Los Angeles Raiders? Hope you liked them, I’m guessing they’ll be making a comeback.
Report: Raiders want 50,000-seat, $800 million stadium in Oakland - CBSSports.com
The issue isn’t even the money (though I seriously doubt Oakland can afford $300M these days.) The issue is the size. I can’t see the league putting up $$ for a modern stadium that only seats 50K. I’m sure they’d much rather build a 60-80K stadium in L.A. and put the Raiders up there. That way the league gets more TV revenue AND more ticket revenue.
Then again... while there are some people who think it doesn't make sense to have teams in both Oakland and San Fran, both cities have their own base-ball teams. People thought Baltimore and Washington D.C. shouldn't each have their own teams and it's working for them in both sports.
Thoughts?
