[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2322677, member: 19286"] When the Raiders dangled this story in front of Sacramento a decade ago, the city got very excited. They raised local taxes and built a big fund to lure the team there. This fund was designated so that it could never be used for anything except for attracting an NFL team. Then, they raised more taxes to start on their stadium. They bought land (at a premium), cleared it off and even built the stadium's foundation. They spent millions on all this. When the Raiders showed LA what Sacramento was doing, LA quickly conceded and met the demands keep them there. Insiders admitted later that the Raiders never seriously considered moving and that it was basically a ploy to manipulate some sweet incentives. Now, that organization may have changed since then and they might just love the idea of playing in OK. But, the the best of my knowledge, that Sacramento stadium foundation is still out there in that weed-filled field. [/QUOTE]
