[QUOTE="Coded-Dude, post: 2322682, member: 16918"] Sacramento: And during that entire time the city was fighting tooth and nail with the Maloofs to try and keep the Kings, who are still trying to get out of there because the folks of Sacramento really don't want to foot the bill for a new stadium; last I heard they were throwing around the idea of an open air nba stadium downtown. They almost lost out to Seattle(who still needs to build a stadium). Anaheim was also in the running as they have an arena ready to go, but would have had to change the name(there is already a pro LA team named the Kings) and I think they had trouble with TV contracts.....IIRC Back to the Raiders: According to the article a few hundred mill would come from the team, a few hundred from the nfl, and the rest would come from the MAPS tax which is already in place. If that is the case, it shouldn't be too hard for the city to afford a new stadium(especially without new taxes). Maybe Al's son is ready to leave Oakland, but if the rumors where ever to be believed, it would be under new ownership IMHO. [/QUOTE]
