Question Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders???

Heard about this last night. Al Davis always thinking of how he can make more money to stay competitive and screw with the NFL Brass. LOL Relocating the Raiders? Not really. Well kind of, or just half the pre-season home games and half the season home games to Los Angeles. And calling them the Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders or vice versa. Still Committed to Excellance but committed to two cities. Seems Strange? Here is the logic behind It. The Coliseum which the NFL has a problem with because its basiclly in a rat infested hood, currently holds up to 85,000 and can be rearranged to seat 120,000 like for the Olympics and that's a lot of raider heads$$$. The luxury boxes are still a little bit of an issue for AL but not as much as before when Al moved back to Oakland. He's thinking with the huge fan base in Los Angeles he can sellout every game in los angeles at 120,000 people$$$ and then Oakland$$$ as well will probably also be sold out since we will only have so many games now. That will solve his sellout problem in Oakland and reclaim his stakes in the LA Football market. Then theirs marketing$$$ money to be made. New shirts, hats you know... I guess Al is thinking a whole lot of money can be made by this move and seems to be a win win for Al. For some reason he doesn't want to let go of the football rights to Los Angeles. I guess their is too much money their to look away. Of course the NFL would never let this happen. Their way too stiff with AL and the Raiders.

Why so all the games can be blacked out locally due to non-sellouts?

I'd bet my bottom dollar that the Raiders haven't seen the last moving van in the driveway yet. I'm almost thinking that if Al doesn't get the payment due him by the Colesium then his attorney's will figure a way to use this as a breech of contract and be able to null and void the lease. Hence allowing him to move once again.
Don't know if it will be L.A. or one of the outlying cities, but mark my words...Oakland has done nothing to please Mr. Davis, and Mr. Davis will move the team just to spite the city that hasn't helped HIS team out a bit.

Maybe L.A........I'm hoping for Vegas.

For whatever reason

Oakland doesn`t support the raiders. There are no if`s and`s or but`s about it.
I`m a Raider fan, been that way for 30+ years. If the stay in Oakland great but theY BELONG where they can make money so as to be able to compete... period.

Thats what Al deserves for moving the raiders!! He ****d over the fans in oakland and there ****in him over. You dont live here in the bay area, u dont know! I know SOOO many adults that are niner fans, but grew up being raider fans for 20+ years until Al moved the team. Now they despise the raiders more than any other team, including niners divisional foes and even the cowboys!

Al ****D the fans, now they are ****in him...

No, actually they are F**king themselves....Soon they will have to watch football on TV instead of at the Stadium.

Then they can really whine about getting screwed, if they would have just shown up they could have kept their team.

And you can't say they didn't come because of the quality of football....did pretty well since they've been back.

Admit it, no support by the city equals No team by Mr. Davis.

Bottom line they don`t support the raiders. Who cares why? They don`t and if they don`t start Al will take them somewhere where they will and the raiders can earn the money they need to survive.

Not beyond the realm of possibility...didn't the Packers split their reg season home games between Green Bay and Milwaukee a few seasons back?
