Count Raiders owner Mark Davis among those not thrilled about the prospect of. More specifically, Davis still holds a grudge against his former Coliseum co-tenants, who he insists helped push the Raiders out of Oakland.
“I won’t forget what they did to us in Oakland. They squatted on a lease for 10 years and made it impossible for us to build on that stadium,” Davis said Thursday, in reference to the A’s 10-year Coliseum lease extension that expires in 2024. “They were looking for a stadium. We were looking for a stadium. They didn’t want to build a stadium, and then went ahead and signed a 10-year lease with the city of Oakland and said, ‘We’re the base team.
“They marketed the team as ‘Rooted in Oakland.’ That’s been their mantra through the whole thing,” Davis told the Review-Journal. “The slogans they’ve been using have been a slap to the face of the Raiders, and they were trying to win over that type of mentality in the Bay Area. Well, all they did was the Bay Area.”
