Raiders owner Mark Davis seeks new stadium
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis said its imperative his team get a new stadium and he has had discussions with groups in Los Angeles about returning the franchise to Southern California.
The timetable is yesterday. So thats where it is. Weve got to get a stadium. Weve got to get that done, Davis said Tuesday in his first public comments since taking over the organization in October following the death of his father, Al.
Its such a competitive business. It really is competitive. We cant compete for a lot of the players that other teams can, at times.
Davis made his comments at a news conference announcing the hiring of Reggie McKenzie as the teams new general manager and the firing of coach Hue Jackson....

(9,709 posts)and after the hiring of McKenzie and the subsequent firing of Jackson, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see this move happen. I remember loving Stabler and the bunch as a kid, but I've never felt the same way about the Raiders after Al Davis took them to LA the first time. So, it's no big deal..at least to me.

I'd hate for the Bay Area to lose them.
