Goodell unsure of where Raiders will play in 2019
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that no decision has been made on where the Oakland Raiders will play home games next season, according to The MMQB's Albert Breer.
The Raiders have an expiring lease at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, and the city has been reluctant to extend the deal for a team preparing to bolt. The franchise is set for a move to Las Vegas in 2020, but its under-construction stadium won't be ready to house the team before then.
Among the sensible possibilities for the Raiders if they're forced to leave Oakland a year early would be to play in nearby Levi's Stadium, which hosts the San Francisco 49ers. Alternatively, some have postulated the Raiders could play the 2019 campaign in San Diego at the Chargers' old San Diego County Credit Union Stadium.
A one-year stay in Mexico City, where the Raiders played two games between 2016 and 2017, may also be under consideration, though that scenario appears to be a long shot.
