emotions. if you are curious to know how raider fans are feeling it is very unfortunately but we did do a twitter poll as to whether they would attend games at the coliseum and you can see yes every game is low but maybe a game or two and 14% the lowest. not a single game reacting this strong. 69% right there. as i mentioned due to relocation, 50 million-dollars the owners will make. for them older in years that is what it was about. down there amongst the owners and nfl representatives for the past couple of days in phoenix our own joe fonzi who joins us with the latest from the center point. joe. >> not allowed in those elite circles as those guys. there is a reason they were smiling. you paid that byte from mark davis and he doesn't know if he is a member of the las vegas raiders or oakland raiders. a last minute push by city of oakland to change things and mark davis got his answer to move to las vegas. >> as it turned out there was not much dramas to the outcome of the vote. when they arrived yesterday some of the owners weren't hiding their intention. but today nfl commissioner roger goodell made it official. we just discussed the relocation proposal which are owners approved of overwhelmingly. >> disappointed for the fans. this is something that i know will be seen with a great deal of disappointment. we understand that. and we worked tirelessly and as hard as we could to find that solution and we couldn't get it done. >> all of the speakers gave lip service to the oakland fans that have historically been among the most passionate. >> i have mixed feel little and i know there's disappointment and anger. in the future as we play in oakland that they understand it was the players and not the coaches but me that made it and if they have anybody to talk about it it should be me and i will try to explain to them what went into making this definitely decision. >> as much regret as expressed it all came down to the owners wanting to make sure that 750 million-dollars of publicly committed money in nevada made its way in their pockets. >> i would like to thank governor brian sandoval and congratulate him who overwhelmingly supported this process and bringing the raiders to las vegas. >> we are happy that the raiders have a home long term. there doesn't seem to be much recourse for the city of oakland and it's leaders but one fan group is not giving up. >> we will take the next step and we are already prepared for legal action. we will contact the media and let the nfl know we will go after you and the ratings will go down. it will be a big mistakes. burning the jerseys and do what we need to do because right now the nfl has done some things that they have not done responsibly and if they are able to do it to the fans we want to protect ourselves and do the right things. so the fans are hoping that there is some glimmer of legal hope. i don't know if that is possible. what lies ahead two strange seasons in where a team will be playing at the oakland coliseum while their stadium is being built. an experiment for a model of a team. mark davis has been quoted as saying raider fans will get on planes and go to games, how will all of them afford that and visiting teams will provide half of the audience, coming one time to las vegas and people coming and oh by the way let's take in a footballing game. i'm not sure that will work. it is a grand experiment but you hit it on the head. driven by nothing else but money. absolutely. joe fonzi in phoenix. we'll check with you later. >> what was disappointing to me as a football fan/sportscaster, a lot of disingenuous remarks about feeling for the city of oakland. feeling for the city of oakland and mark davis saying he will reach out. what is he going to be able to say at this point? and the commissioner saying that this provides the raiders with a more stable. >> more stage in las vegas? how is it so versus being in oakland? >> you heard joe fonzi saying that this is actually a business model that has never been tried before in the nfl. it is in essence an experimental model. you will hope that fans come in from the country. you will be hope that oakland raider fans do have the money and where with all to keep flying in and supporting the team in las vegas. you go to a smaller market where a lot of people are transient. they are just coming in and out. you won't develop long term loyalty. the city of las vegas is about tourism. not tradition. and i think to hear those guys get there and say how much they feel for the city of oakland and sad day for oakland, that is just the height of hypocrisy because all they care about is lining their money with pockets. they don't care about the fans. >> 31-1. yeah. >> who would have thought they would have a franchise and in and out raiders. just like that. >> derrick clark tweeted his feelings on the impending move to las vegas. he wrote as i sit here and see a vote that takes the raiders to las vegas i am overwhelmed with emotion. i don't know how to feel. i feel the pain of our fans in oakland and wrote oakland, our team loves you and my family and i love you. we will be resilient and stay together. that is what try raiders do. we stick together even when it is tough. >> it is not just the players. emotions are running high. >> jesse gary shows us some fans in mourning. others are throwing the gear in the trash. >> i'm sad today for the raiders nation. >> mayor libby shaft confirming the second franchise, the raiders are rolling up their tents and playing elsewhere. the move personal for larry reed. >> personally i would rather have the raiders playing in santa clara than playing in the city. the city has worked hard. the fans once again whose hearts have been broken a second time. >> some fans sickened by this second desertion dump the gear in the garbage outside of team headquarters and others vented. >> born and raised in black hawk and i am just heart broken. >> mayor shaft says the leaders made an 11th hour appeal with what was called a viable 800 million plan for 32 team owners and commissioner roger goodell. to no avail and it hurts sports fans and families that counted on seasonal income from 8 season home games. >> the raiders leaving us taking away from people's households. people rely on that income and like it affects me personally because it has taken away from the mouths from my kids. >> at oakland city hall. elected leaders made a show of raising the a's flag to talk about the impending baseball soap and the sole remaining sports franchise that is loyal to the city. >> i am wearing my a's hat because the a's are the only loyal team. i am show ming support for the true oakland team the athletics. >> larry reed has asked the city attorney to investigate if the raiders move to vegas violate the team's lease with the coliseum. he would like to kick them out of coliseum before the start of the 2017 season. the fans and rookies disman some blame the city saying leaders had 20 years to figure it out and others wanted to see the team win one more time welfare packing up and moving on. in san leandro. fox 2 news. and oakland mayor libby shaft joining us. thank you. is there any hope for raider fans end bay area, is there any chance the team could stay in oakland? >> i think the message was clear and time for oakland that is a resilient city to move forward. we have an incredible baseball team. the warriors are still in their market. they are still our team. we have incredible site at the coliseum. and we will need to move on. >> you sound like your angry. >> i am. i am a lifetime oakland girl and raider fan and i feel they did not treat us fairly. i wished that they would just admit that they made a choice of las vegas over oak. oakland had a fully funded and shovel ready and i think they should be more honest. i think also that the fact that we stood firm on no public money for stadium construction was a huge factor in this decision. that is something that i hope oaklanders are proud of that we stood up. >> mayor what happens now to the lease agreement. will the raiders stay in oakland for the next couple of seasons or will you try to push them out now? >> let me be clear. the lease is with the joint powers authority that governs the coliseum. i do not sit on that authority so i am not speaking to that. actually today is not the day to actually talk about a legal document when emotions are so high. today is the day that we really should be focused on the raider nation. these are the most incredible dedicated loyal fans on the face of the planet. and my heart is broken for them. >> it feels like raider fans are getting screwed. >> i got in trouble for using bad language. i will not repeat that but you said it not i. again oakland played hard. we played fair and this will not be the first or the last to get tempted by las vegas. >> i have a quick question. oakland loves the raiders. any chance that we could see another push for another nfl team to move to oakland? >> i represent the city so i will speak for myself. it was the raiders are nothing. they are part of the history, the legacy of this city they represent decades and generations of loyalty. i don't feel that for another football team. economics are having a football team are not favorable. this is really emotional of decisions and if it is not the raiders in my mind it is not worth fighting for another team. >> mayor, i like you grew up in the bay. they will be the oakland raiders. we
