PHOENIX -- As expected, NFL owners approved Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis’ application for relocation to Las Vegas here Monday. However, that doesn’t mean the Silver and Black are headed to Sin City anytime soon.
“The Raiders were born in Oakland, and Oakland will always be part of our DNA,” Davis said. “We know that some fans will be disappointed and even angry, but we hope that they do not direct that frustration to the players, coaches and staff.
“We plan to play at the Coliseum in 2017 and 2018, and hope to stay there as the Oakland Raiders until the new stadium opens.
