I went to Oakland for a concert downtown. When I was walking someone from the like the 4th story of some building threw a random ass bucket of water missing me by about 5 feet. When I returned to my car after the concert the car in from of mine has a window bashed in.
Simple the A’s owner John Fisher pushed them out. Oakland chose the A’s over the Raiders
Oakland is a pit.
Oakland leadership wants to keep it homeless and shitty so they get bigger bonuses 🤷♂️
When you got famous In and Out burger restaurant leave Oakland you got your answer 🤓
The only ghetto suburb to ever have an NFL team.
Any real Raiders ☠️🏴☠️ fan will tell you the new stadium is the Death Star! NOT THE rumba!! Your hack lack of research killed it
Maybe because they were afraid of getting robbed or killed getting to or leaving the game? Maybe just a possibility? They don’t want to get bipped
The reason Mark Davis was picked to run the team cuz his mom didn't want to run the team. that's why not his retail experience guy doesn't know anything about football
It’s over for us Oakland
Good for them ! I hope all business will leave Oakland , they don’t need to do businesses in a city or state that protect criminal!!!!
I have made it a point to visit stadiums and arenas that were special. I am also a huge Raiders fan. Oakland was a special place to see a game. The Oakland Alameda Coliseum was as much a part of the Raiders image as the tough guys that played for them. The Davis family tried like hell to get the city of Oakland to work with them. As we can see by the overall status of Oakland it was a wise move to go to Vegas. That said, I do miss games in Oakland. That place had character.
When you lose not one, not two but three sports franchises it stands to reason that it may not just be greed of sports ownership
Blame it on Democrats!
It’s a S hole.
I flew into Oakland and rented a car.The agent told me to hit the freeway as soon as could and don’t stop😂
The bigger question is why all three professional franchises have or are abandoning Oakland. When you look at it in that context it makes sense.
Raiders should have moved to San Antonio instead of Las Vegas
This second leaving is wrong. The Raiders were waiting for the A’s to move to the Howard Terminal location in Oakland in 2014, as they had announced, allowing the Raiders to build a new football-only stadium on the current Coliseum site. The A’s then screwed over the the Raiders by signing a 10 year lease with the Coliseum Authority, even buying half ownership of the stadium. Mark Davis didn’t initially want to move, but he was being pressured by the likes of Jerry Jones and other owners. Moving to Las Vegas increased the value of the team…and subsequently, the value of every other NFL franchise, nearly two fold overnight.
I had Raiders season tickets for well over ten years, and I’m a Broncos fan. I went to all of the AFC West games and sold the other tickets. I wanted to see the Raiders stay in Oakland. Generally speaking, the Oakland Raiders fan base had no issue with the location of the Coliseum; it fit the ghetto image of the Oakland fans. When they were planning the new stadium in Vegas, I was invited over to a presentation for season ticket holders to buy seats at the new stadium.
My four seats were going to increase by a factor of six., from $3,000 to $18,000 per season. And no tailgating; they wanted you to stay in the casinos right up until game time. Now Davis complains that there are more visiting team fans at the stadium than Raiders fans. It’s become a destination trip for the other teams’ fan base. Raiders tickets are some of the highest in the league…for a losing franchise. Now Fisher and his hapless A’s are trying to do the same thing. Watch…Fisher will try to sell the team once they move to the new location. The A’s ain’t the Raiders, he’ll lose his greedy ass.
That’s the TRUE story.
Damn shoulda stayed in LA
There's a handfull of reasons but #1 is just cheap owners. Oakland got saddled with Davis and Fisher. Davis, actually being the cheapest among owners, couldn't cough up the $ to build. Didn't even try to get grants with the city, nada… Fisher on the other hand, has more $, but is known for being a penny pincher. The man would never spend a billion of his own $. If you grant expansion to Oakland, they would have stadiums built in 3-4 years easy with owners who have the $ and are willing to spend it. This isn't rocket science.
City of Oakland was never sincere about building a stadium for the Raiders or the A's. Besides Oakland is a Sh%t Hole!
Money. 🤑
Because Oakland is a broken dump
Better question: why did the Raiders leave Candlestick Park in SF after 1961?
Oakland is a sewar
Oakland is not a place ANYONE should go. I'm a CA resident and you don't go there for any reason. Plus the stadium wore out 25 years ago.
Cause it's Oakland. Like saying outside of the Grizzlies there's no sports team in Memphis trash cities for decades now
Same reason the Athletics are leaving. Oakland's become a woke, ghetto shithole
You guys have a sister city: BALTIMORE run by the same culture
Raiders aren’t leaving Vegas. The city has so much invested and has wanted pro teams for years. And here’s something some people don’t know.
Athletics are coming to Vegas in 2028 season. So once Vegas has MLB the next question is when are they getting their basketball team?
Goodbye Oakland-Hello Las Vegas
Raiders will stay in Las Vegas for as long as they can and possibly forever
Have you been to Oakland? No explanation needed
Oakland abandoned them.
Because oakland is trash
Oakland is filled with crime. I drive by it every week to get to work and each week I see something new. Just a couple days ago I saw a car with no license plate purposely treating red lights like it was a stop sign. Guy must've played too much GTA.
Its disgusting filled with crime
This video is flawed on so many levels! Al didn’t leave the team to Mark. Al kept Mark as for away from the team as possible, that’s why Mark was only in charge of the retail merchandise. Al left the team to his wife Carol, but she has dementia. Mark took the team from her. Al wanted to stay in Oakland.
As a person that lives in the bay. Smartest decision they made was getting the heck out of Oakland.
The city of Oakland have financial problems, The City of Oakland have poor, druggies, thugs, homeless, vagrant and bad people living there. Culturally inferior than the rest of civilized world. Would neal mohan live in a all black inner city gehtto ?????? City of Oakland is not viable. It's decay beyond repair.
Oakland is home.
How Davis son gets his haircut from a bull who does that
I should say I'll Davis the Sun gets his haircut by Tupperware
RAIDERS. Win Superbowl then ask Oakland please build us a New stadium? Answer no. Ok they move to L.A win superbowl again please build the stadium you promised? L.A. no, so again. They move to of all places law vegas? Now new stadium so when will we win a Superbowl again? Who knows. Cause every time we WIN we get stabbed in the back. So hopefully before I passaway, we might see a another Superbowl again but I don't know if we will ever in my time……
Raider FOREVER…..
I lived in Oakland for a few years in the 80s. It was, is, and will always be, a shithole.
Kind of simple I will give you 500 million reasons why. On top of that they could not build another building on the site and they could not share with the A's. They didn't have much choice. It would be interesting if the NFL granted Vegas an expansion team and Oakland re built would the Raiders consider moving back.
It doesn't matter where they play their cursed by the time they start winning i"ll be dead n gone Raiders fan forever !❤
From a business perspective, the A’s and raiders leaving for Las Vegas makes sense. But for someone who grew up watching them and being a fan of Bay Area sports, it hurts. Went to a few A’s games with my grandpa when me and my siblings were younger. Always had a great time. I think Oakland could’ve done more to try to keep both teams but poor leadership and groups fighting tooth and nail to prevent the A’s from building the new stadium screwed it up. The fans were loyal, it’s the city and John fisher who weren’t. I don’t blame the raiders tho.
My brother went to the raiders new stadium, he said it was really pretty but felt… what’s the word… incomplete… kinda like Levi stadium. Almost like something is missing. It just doesn’t feel the same.
Oakland is a dump compared to las Vegas. Since the success of the golden knights of the NHL the raiders followed suit and so did the A's. Vegas has life where Oakland looks dead
