Raiders to play 2019 in Giants’ stadium?

Gary from The East End : Admin : 2/5/2019 12:28 pm
San Francisco Giants, that is.

Or not. Who knows? Apparently nobody wants their business.

Raiders may up playing 2019 in the parking lot of Vegas Verdes Elementary.

from using the 49ers stadium, a la NY? I assume you're only missing a third locker room.
Davis doesn't want to use the Niners' stadium

The 49ers really don't want them there, or anywhere in the Bay Area.

What I really don't understand is why the Raiders won't just bite the bullet and play 7 damn games at Sam Boyd Stadium in Vegas. They've got an international game locked in, and I know they don't want to come to Vegas unless they can make an immediate splash in their brand new stadium, but it's 7 games.

I agree. It's bigger than where the Chargers played this season. Dignity Health Sports Park (formerly the Home Depot Center and StubHub Center) is a little nicer though and has luxary suites.

not just play at Cal in Berkeley.
Well, the former home of the Chargers

Qualcomm Stadium does not have a team right now. It's not far fetched to think that San Diego would love to stick it to the Chargers (who would have to come there for a game), by doing this.

I wish the Niners did that or played at Stanford while building a new stadium at Candlestick Point.....

Any new stadium in SF or OAK requires the demolition of an existing stadium. Just no space otherwise.

might actually be a bigger fail than Met Life. That's wasn't easy to pull off.

It’s a much bigger fail.

MetLife isn’t terrible by any stretch it’s just boring. At least it’s functional.

I’ve had harsh words for Mara being born lucky but Mark Davis seems to be a dumb as it gets.
