OAKLAND — The Raiders best home option for the 2019 season appears to be the place they have played since 1995: The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
The Coliseum’s chief negotiator Scott McKibben confirmed he spoke with Raiders president Marc Badain on Friday, one week after they resumed talking about playing nine home dates in Oakland.
Also, a source with knowledge of the negotiations said Friday that stadium authority board is expected to call an emergency meeting to vote on a new lease within the next two weeks.
“It’s fair to say talks are progressing,” said McKibben, the authority’s executive director.
