If the stadium deal goes through, LA will get a team. There are too many teams right now itching for a larger city.

To think that it’s all a conspiracy for leverage in other cities is living in a fantasy world.

It’s time NFL owners used their own billions, perhaps with loans from the NFL, a corporation worth hundreds of billions of dollars to build their own stadium. Stop trying to suck blood from people in a recession.

If the raiders moved to Iran I would be pleased
===================================

Of all people, YOU should be thankful! After all, if not for the Raiders and that dubious tuck rule, you wouldn’t have had your so-called “dynasty”.

It’s funny how scared some people are like Boltdaddy. Keep dreaming your Chargers won’t go to LA. The Chargers were originally from LA, and it says here they go back. A short little trip back up the freeway from where they came and the NFL has it’s LA team. The divisions wouldn’t even have to be re-aligned. Yeah Boltdaddy – keep dreaming.

I’ve never seen a new owner more ill suited to take over for their predecessor than this clown.

It still has majo freeway access with the 580, and 680, and the Dublin Bart station would be less than a mile walk to that potential site. I am open to either location but never heard of Dublin even ever being in the mix……where there is smoke there is fire…….obviously Mark Davis has spoke to somebody about Dublin…..my gut says Madden has something to do it with since he owns so much land in the tri valley.

Raiders, Jags, Rams, and of course Vike fans are just the latest (but not the last!) to go thru this. YOUR owner does not care about you. YOUR owner does not care about team history. YOUR owner wants money-and as much as he can get. If it means moving or threatening to move so be it.

People loved to make fun of Packer fans owning the team and buying stock but I can guarantee you no one in Minnesota is laughing these days. And YOU may be next

Keep the Raiders off your list of teams with owners that don’t care. The Raiders were created by a FOOTBALL man, not some owner who got rich doing something else. Al Davis was a coach/football man first and foremost. He is not a scrub lime Kraft, Jones, Snyder and the others who had money first, then bought in. Another reason why Al is one of the greats…

You chowder loving simpleton. Your team is a false dynasty, founded on a BS call and rooted in a history of cheating. If any other team was on the field that snowy day the refs would have swallowed the whistle and it would have been called a fumble, as it clearly was. No way the “Raiders” were going to beat the “Patriots” in New England after 9/11. They made the call upstairs, somebody found the tuck rule buried in the books, the rest is history…

the team must stay a Davis owned organization, so moving to L.A. and having any other human being with a final word other then a Davis is not going to work out.

Whoever in L.A. wants a stake in the team, not happening,

L.A. needs the Raiders more then the Raiders need L.A.,

The Raiders are already a global brand playing and representing the west coast, whether its L.A. or Oakland, people still know the silver & black – the patch, and what it all represents,

the Raiders are going to be the Raiders regardless,

if L.A. really wants them, they will have a fresh stadium ready and keep the existing ownership structure with Reggie McKenzie as GM for the following decades, both sides and everyone involved will make big $$$ , The Raiders are the only team that would maximize L.A.’s teams profits instantly, not the Bills, or Vikings, or Jaguars,

its Raiders or bust for L.A. , no team can take that town 100% after knowing what we know and a superbowl win in 1983-84

The downtown stadium deal, the one financed in part by AEG, isn’t dead, but it’s coughing up blood.

The “Global Crossing” deal, with land out near where the 57 and 60 Freeways meet, is apparently still alive and well. That’s probably the one Wilf would take if the Minnesota legislature doesn’t cave in and agree to pay for a new stadium, since it also involves 600 acres of SoCal real estate for shopping and other developments.

I’d like to see the Raiders sharing space with the Niners. Rumor is the new SF stadium is going to run in the area of one billion dollars, due to high-end touches like Italian leather in the luxury box seats. I’m sure the Raider fans would treat that stuff real nice like.

No way Mark sells the team..

Has any other team ever won Super Bowls in different cities?

Al Davis Forever!!!
Just Win Baby!!!

The Raiders might move and should if they can get a stadium around the bay . They are the only team that plays on a baseball field . They are losing money due to it . They won’t be going to LA though .

Actually I think Mark Davis to doing a stellar job .

Raiders, Jags, Rams, and of course Vike fans are just the latest (but not the last!) to go thru this. YOUR owner does not care about you. YOUR owner does not care about team history. YOUR owner wants money-and as much as he can get. If it means moving or threatening to move so be it.

1. AEG, don’t try to BUY teams!!!!!

2. Media constituents, no talk of a team in Los Angeles until a team is literally on the verge of moving there!!!!

3. Sam Farmer = Time Wasting Idiot!!!!

4. If L.A. stadium suitors (mainly AEG) want a team despite seating capacity filling issues, you can’t demand such drastic conditions like changes in the owners!!!! You’ve screwed things up enough!!!! You deserve NO more privileges other than having 1-2 stadium tenants!!!!!!

5. Media, make Ed Roski look better!!! In this WHOLE stadium fiasco he’s looked MUCH deserving of obtaining a stadium tenant or two because he’s not overstepping his boundaries like the AEG people!!!!

At least his father was more upfront with the media despite his bad relationship with it!!!!!
