You just knew this couldn’t go smoothly. A couple weeks ago reports had the Raiders and the Oakland Stadium Authority coming to terms on a deal for the 2019 season with an option for 2020. Now with the deal set to be made official on March 15, there is a hitch, according to Stadium Authority Executive Director, Scott McKibbon.
“Clearly I will say on the business terms of this deal, we’re 95% there. But there is this one big issue that we need to get worked out,” said McKibben.
“We still have one rather significant open issue and I will be going back to the Raiders to discuss that with them and hopefully we’ll be able to resolve it.
