Report: No Oracle Park for Raiders; Levi's Stadium, Oakland final options
The Oakland Raiders won't share Oracle Park with the San Francisco Giants for the 2019 season as the San Francisco 49ers are not expected to waive their territorial rights to the city, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Raiders were reportedly in talks with the MLB franchise but faced strong pushback from San Francisco's mayor, London Breed, who said Tuesday she doesn't want the team to further complicate ongoing traffic problems caused by the construction of the Golden State Warriors' new arena.
The Raiders' remaining options are to stay in Oakland or share Levi's Stadium with the 49ers, according to Rapoport. They are moving to Las Vegas in 2020 but the team is without a stadium deal for 2019.
The initial plan was for the Raiders to stay in Oakland until the relocation, but negotiations were hurt after the city filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the franchise over the upcoming move.
