Raiders may stay in Oakland through 2020 season

The Las Vegas Raiders is still a foreign concept.

The Raiders, who have been approved to move to Las Vegas, could stay in Oakland through the 2020 season. It was previously reported that the Raiders would remain in Oakland until 2018 and would move to Las Vegas for the 2019 season, contingent upon the completion of a new stadium.

"For sure we are talking about a one-year extension and there's a real likelihood we could be talking about two years," Oakland Alameda Coliseum Authority executive director Scott McKibben said via Jon Becker of the Bay Area News Group.

The Raiders' contract with the authority is scheduled to expire after the 2018 season, while the team pays $3.5 million in rent, according to Kimberly Veklerov of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Las Vegas executives aren't worried about the latest development, however.

“I’m sure they’re just trying to be cautious because it’s such a tight timeline” to build a $1.9 billion, 65,000-seat domed football stadium in Las Vegas, Clark County Commission chairman Steve Sisolak said Monday to Richard N. Velotta of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
