OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Raiders are closing in on an agreement that would have them play the 2019 season at the Oakland Coliseum, with a team option for 2020 as insurance, should the team's Las Vegas stadium not be ready.
The Coliseum Authority would first have to sign off on the lease extension with the Raiders, a vote that might take place by Friday, before approval is required from both the Oakland city council and Alameda county to make it binding.
Coliseum Authority director Scott McKibben told The Associated Press on Monday that the two sides are having "good, constructive talks," though there are still details to be worked out before a contract can be brought to the board for approval.
