    A lease signed in 2016 gave the Raiders a one-year commitment to the Coliseum, with a pair of one-year options held by the team. Which means that the Raiders already have arrangements to play in Oakland in 2017 and 2018.

    Things could get interesting in 2019, given that their new stadium in Las Vegas possibly won’t be ready that soon. Absent suitable alternative accommodations in Las Vegas, the Raiders would either have to stay in Oakland for a third lame-duck year or find a one-year Band-Aid.

    I lived across the Bay on the Peninsula 1973-79 during the Madden era. What a great time to be in the Raider nation. Fred's pine tar slathered knee-high tube socks hahahah The NFL had to ban that eventually.
