The other rumor being tossed around is the Raiders playing in San Diego in the old Murph. That's a weird one given the old Raiders Chargers rivalry.
BTW, did SD approve/fund a new FB stadium for SDSU?
In addition to limiting the number of non-Cal football events that can take place in Memorial, the settlement agreement explicitly states that under no circumstances can any NFL game take place there. Ever. Couldn't be clearer. You'd need to amend the settlement and given the somewhat amorphous nature of the group on the other side, that would be far easier said than done.71Bear said:I thought the deal with the Hill people precluded pro games from being played at Memorial.bluehenbear said:

The settlement with the Hill People is idiotic on just about every level, but this particular stipulation is pretty understandable. I mean can you imagine the Raiders final season (much less final game) in the Bay Area taking place in our little "parking challenged" city? Add to that that it's Raider Nation? In Berkeley? In force? Wow. Boggles the mind.
Couldn't they just play at the local state penitentiary and cut out the middleman? Bring the game to the fans.bluehenbear said:

Sandy Barbour did us no favors, but in fairness, the decision to accept the MOU with PHA was mostly Nathan Brostrom and Birgeneau; above Sandy's pay grade.philbert said:Barbour screws Cal again....Sebastabear said:In addition to limiting the number of non-Cal football events that can take place in Memorial, the settlement agreement explicitly states that under no circumstances can any NFL game take place there.

The thing is, the governing body of the Colusium is suing the Raiders. Sure some of it's butthurt but some of it seems legit, like the Raiders still owning $80m. I don't think there will be any deals to stay until LV is ready unless the Raiders decide to pay the debt. My guess is they're trying to skip out on the bill.UrsaMajor said:Sandy Barbour did us no favors, but in fairness, the decision to accept the MOU with PHA was mostly Nathan Brostrom and Birgeneau; above Sandy's pay grade.philbert said:Barbour screws Cal again....Sebastabear said:In addition to limiting the number of non-Cal football events that can take place in Memorial, the settlement agreement explicitly states that under no circumstances can any NFL game take place there.

As for the Traiders, odds are overwhelming that they wind up staying in the Coliseum because of the lack of decent alternatives. They'll hate it and probably throw every home game just to spite Oakland fans, but there it is.

After the way the radiers treated Oakland, I'd laugh my butt off if they couldn't find somewhere to play. But they'll end up at the Coliseum.

Joe Lacob f@cked Oakland over the cost of the Championship Parade and tried to skip on a $40 million obligation to Oakland on the way out of town but lost on that issue in an arbitration (not sure if it was binding). Despite his charity work I consider him an avarious POS that is a slick bidness man.

If, just if, the Raiders end up playing at Memorial, I hope we at least get a Videotron out of the deal.

I believe, unless I'm mistaken, that it's the city of Oakland, not the Joint Powers Commission that's suing, although I'm not certain (maybe both are plaintiffs). Although the legal theory isn't totally strong, the city is in a good position, because unless the suit is dismissed on summary judgment, the discovery process would be very embarrassing to the league and owners, and they might decide to toss in 50-60 million just in hush money. If that happens soon enough, the Raiders could conceivably stay at the Coliseum one more year. If not, maybe they go to Modesto High School.Another Bear said:The thing is, the governing body of the Colusium is suing the Raiders.

Avaya Stadium in San Jose is just about the right size for the Raiders.bearister said:Bulldog Stadium holds 41,000. Too large.Another Bear said:
