Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis and two top lieutenants met recently with several San Antonio officials to discuss the potential of moving his NFL team from the Bay Area to the Alamo City, local leaders involved in the talks confirmed Tuesday.
On the weekend of July 18, Davis met with the officials, including Henry Cisneros, then-Mayor Julián Castro, City Manager Sheryl Sculley, Mario Hernandez of the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation, and both Richard Perez and David McGee, the president and chairman of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, respectively.
Well well well, look at this! Oakland A’s sign a lease to stay in the O.Co coliseum and the Raiders are trying to play hard ball and escape to San Antonio. I can’t say it would be a bad move, they would have to stay in a temporary place until they can get a brand new one built. At this rate it seems that would be an easier bet to happen elsewhere than in Oakland. All I know is big losers would be the Raiders fans, very loyal bunch, no way they take to the 49ers. Bay area sports is like that, you only like one football team, one baseball team. Interesting to see how this plays out, I think it gets the bay area working to find the Raiders a new stadium. Oakland can’t see themselves lose the Warriors & Raiders in a 5 year span. I see Oakland fighting for this one.
