The team is hoping to have their new vegas stadium built in time for the 2020 season. If they fail to have a Lease Agreement in place by the next nfl owners meeting later this month, the move could be delayed by a full year. As kron 4s charles reports at least one oakland city leader says, he will not support letting the team extend their stay at the coliseum. Right now, raiders management and the Las Vegas Stadium authority are scrambling to finish a Lease Agreement on a new 65,000 seat stadium that will sit just off the las vegas strip. In order to have the stadium completed and ready to go by the 2020 season, the lease needs to be approved at the nfl owners meeting on may 22nd. But if the Lease Agreement isnt ready in time, the next owners meeting isnt until october. Any delay would almost certainly mean construction would be postponed and the stadium wouldnt be finished until 2021. Currently the last year the raiders can play at the Oakland Coliseum is the 2019 season. Meaning the team would need to find somewhere to play for one season. City Council President larry reid has been very vocal about his disappointment that the team is leaving oakland. He says that if the raiders come looking for an extenstion of their lease at the coliseum he will oppose it because he believes the teams management has not been fair to the community. Sotno respect for the city that i live in and no respect for the most incredible fans in the nfl. Reid also says it unacceptable that the nfl allowed the team to move before a Lease Agreement was in place. Sotthat the nfl just arbitrarily did something that theyve never done is allow a team to relocate in another jurisdiction without having all the is dotted and all the ts crossed. At this point its unclear where the raiders would play the 2020 season if they werent allowed to return here to the coliseum. In oakland, Charles Clifford kron 4 news. pam coming up new at ten.
