The only team now officially scheduled to remain in Oakland was judicious in responding to the news that the Raiders’ request to move to Las Vegas was approved by the NFL. “We understand the Raiders’ need for a new stadium,” A’s team president Dave Kaval said. The Raiders’ lease at the Coliseum runs through the next two seasons, however there are strong rumblings that they will look to get out of the lease in 2018, potentially opening up the way for the A’s to build a new stadium at the Coliseum site next year should they select that site.
