Bye bye L.A. How many teams can one area support anyway.

What I don't understand is how they plan on staying in Oakland for 2 years in the meantime.  Huh?  How could those people support them for two more years.

ticket prices have gone up also (between 20 and 80% depending on where you're sitting). The one downfall of finishing with a 12-4 record.

Raiders fan base is kinda weird(shocking statement I know) and they really seem to be of the Raider Nation philosophy. Most are Raider fans. Not Oakland Raider fans or LA Raider fans, just Raider fans. The outrage in STL and SD was 100x greater.

It's only one report from a radio guy that works in Oakland but I'm hearing that it's not sitting well at all.

I assume that even Raiders are human beings but maybe not.  Honey I am filling for divorce but will still live with you until my new spouse is ready in a new mansion?  Fug no!!!!

They should go to San Antonio for two years then.  The logistics may make little sense, but better than despicably staying with a market you've just $hat on.

I'm from Vegas so I can say that we only have one realistic temporary venue where we could host the Raiders and it's a bit of a dump. Of course, if the Chargers are really going to play at Stub Hub next season, anything is possible.

Wow, the next 2 season in Oakland are going to be extremely awkward. 

Surprised the Raiders didn't decide to play at UNLV's stadium, it has 10k more seats than the Stadium the Chargers are playing in next year. 

Visiting teams are going to have fun enforcing curfew in Vegas....
