The Oakland Raiders are at it again. The spirit of Al Davis is alive and well, in the form of Mark Davis, son of the late Raiders owner. Mark Davis is chatted with San Antonio officials about the feasability of moving the Raiders to Alamo City. Back in the day, Al Davis shopped his franchise constantly and ended up taking the Raiders to Los Angeles in 1982. In 1995, Davis took the Raiders back to Oakland. The Raider lease expires in 2015, and the O.co Coliseum (originally Oakland Alameda County Coliseum), which is almost 50 years old, is the last of the dual-franchise stadiums. The Athletics play baseball there, and the Raiders play football there. And its not an adequate place for either. So if the Raiders decided to move, is San Antonio a viable option? Well, it seems absurd that the NFL does not have a franchise in Greater Los Angeles. LA hasnt had an NFL team since the Rams went to St. Louis the same year the Raiders went back to Oakland. But LA doesnt have a stadium plan, and neither the LA Coliseum nor the Rose Bowl has proven adequate for NFL needs.
