Raiders rumored to be heading to Los Angeles...or sharing stadium with 49ers

[RANGA+ 1,210]

The death of Raiders owner Al Davis has renewed speculation about the team's future home. Controlling interest in the Raiders is expected to go to Davis' son, Mark, opening the door to changes in the NFL's stadium construction and franchise relocation plans.

 

Rumors that the team might move to Los Angeles began circulating immediately after fans learned Davis had died Saturday morning. Several months before, he spurned suitors trying to lure a team to Los Angeles despite the offer of a new stadium. He reportedly turned down the offer because the developers wanted a stake in the Raiders.

 

The question now is whether Mark Davis will keep the team in the family or sell it.

 

Mark Davis did not comment on his intentions.

 

But even if the team opts to stay in the Bay Area, Al Davis' death could increase the chances of sharing a two-team stadium in Santa Clara with the San Francisco 49ers.

 

A Raiders-49ers stadium option has been on the table for several years without any concrete movement by either team. Davis was known for his ironclad grip on the Raiders and the idea that he would be willing to relinquish any of that control made a two-team stadium seem like a remote possibility. But he also wanted a new stadium.

Two NFL teams are not meant to share a stadium. The Raiders need a new stadium, not a move to Los Angeles. The Raiders are starting to become relevant. Keep 'em in Oakland.

This pretty much sums up what I'd say.
