OAKLAND — Lawyers for the stadium authority overseeing operations at the Coliseum are reviewing the Raiders lease while at least one city council member wants the team out as soon as possible.
Scott McKibben, executive director of the Coliseum authority board, on Tuesday said lawyers are also looking at whether the NFL and the Raiders followed the league’s relocation policy while negotiating the approved deal to move to Las Vegas.
Part of the policy requires “good faith” negotiations with a team’s home market, Oakland.
While Mayor Libby Schaaf on Tuesday said the city wasn’t going to fight the team’s move, Council President Larry Reid has made it clear he does not want the team to play in Oakland while it builds its new stadium in Las Vegas.
