Mark Davis: Lots of talk, no action on a new Oakland stadium

Raiders owner Mark Davis would like a little less conversation and a little more action on a new stadium in Oakland.

Davis says that when he has conversations with Colony Capital, the real estate firm that has been in discussions about a new development that would include a football stadium, those conversations seem positive. And then they don’t go anywhere.

“All the talks we have with them are positive, but there’s no progress after the talks,” Davis said, via CSNBayArea.com.

The Raiders’ current stadium is old and outdated, and a new stadium is probably necessary if the Raiders are going to stay in Oakland much longer. Davis says he wants that to happen, but he isn’t sure if it will.

“Everybody is trying,” Davis said. “Whether it can get done, I don’t know.”

If it doesn’t get done soon, the Raiders may soon be looking for a new city to call home.
