Looks like Raj jumped the gun. It does look like they will play at the SF Giants Park, but the deal is not done yet. Giants say they are under the impression the Raiders are also looking at two other sites still (WAG - 49ers Levis Stadium and ?)

I love/hate the Raiders. As a lifelong Denver Broncos fan, I despise the name, colors, and everything Raiders. But as a football fan, there’s very little as entertaining as the Raiders culture. I’m glad Las Vegas is the future home - it fits. I’d have been okay with them doing 2 home games in each of San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco and called themselves the California Raiders.
I don't understand how a deal isn't done yet for the Raiders to play football. Are they waiting for the league to solve this problem for them?
The deal offered to the Raiders to play at the Oakland Coliseum in 2019 is still on the table, and it's not a bad deal. $7.5M to play 1 final year in Oakland.

All Mark Davis has to do is swallow his pride and take it. Davis does not want to because the city of Oakland is suing the Raiders for potentially hundreds of millions. Davis does not want give the city 1 more cent that could be used in a lawsuit against him.

But with all that said, the offer to play in Oakland is still there.
I didn't realize that the ballpark formerly known as Pac Bell, er SBC, er AT&T had a new name again.

I guess Oracle's stadium budget is opening up with the Warriors moving from Oracle Arena to San Francisco.

The way the NFL has handled relocation the past few years has been a mess. Raiders should've gone to LA with the Chargers to Vegas; as an ex-St. Louis Rams fan I can sit here and say that we should've stayed but I acknowledge the financial situation at play. No way Mark Davis can fund something like Kroenke's Inglewood Stadium out of his pocket. Still, with the Rams good again the STL area would be rocking like it's 1999 with how they've turned around.
