The San Francisco Chronicle is advertisement that the Oakland Raiders and the burghal of Oakland accept agreed to the "basic terms" of a accord to body the NFL aggregation a new stadium, which is accepted amount amid $900 actor and $1.2 billion. Under the agreement of the -to-be deal, the burghal would accord the authorization the acreage to body the stadium, pay for basement improvements on the acreage and abide to pay off the $120 actor still owed for the amplification of the 48-year-old Coliseum, which helped allurement the Raiders aback to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995.
Taxpayers wouldn't pay for architecture of the amphitheater itself, to be amid at a sports, apartment and retail circuitous alleged Coliseum City. That money would appear from "revenue generated by the project, the NFL and added clandestine sources," the Chronicle reports.
That account is laid out in the aboriginal three paragraphs of the Chronicle's story. The afterwards paragraphs are abounding with bodies casting agnosticism about whether it's absolutely possible. Here's a attending at all the issues such a plan faces.
1.) Raiders buyer Mark Davis has been actively attractive to move the team.
The Raiders accept been wooed by San Antonio. There additionally are a lot of able people, both central the NFL and out, who would adulation to see the Raiders absorb a new amphitheater in burghal Los Angeles. The team's charter on the accepted Coliseum expires afterwards this season, and Davis has said he does not appetite to assurance addition one-year extension. The Chronicle adventure implies that Davis and the Raiders charge accept any new deal. What if they get a bigger one elsewhere?

"I accept asked that the (Coliseum City) account be appointed for bankrupt affair for an amend at our abutting (council) meeting," he said. A agent for Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, meanwhile, was asked area the $120 actor would appear from. "That's a abundant catechism that we will apparently not say annihilation about," he said.
3.) The old Coliseum would be demolished. So area would the Oakland A's play?
Oh right, the baseball aggregation that aloof active a 10-year charter addendum to comedy at a amphitheater that's now slated to be destroyed! What about those dudes? Letters the Chronicle: "Sources abutting to the Coliseum Burghal negotiations acquaint us that if the A's won't comedy brawl with the project's backers, allotment of the acreage could be angry over to aggregation owners Lew Wolff and John Fisher for their own abreast developed ballpark."
So aloof a few roadblocks. No problems at all.
