Jets’ Kearse On Raiders’ Famed ‘Black Hole’: ‘I Hate Their Field’

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Jermaine Kearse is no fan of the Oakland Raiders’ home field.

The Jets wide receiver played at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum a couple of times while a member of the Seattle Seahawks, and there’s one aspect about it that drives him crazy.

“To be honest, I hate their field,” Kearse said with a big smile Wednesday. “I can’t stand that baseball part of the field.”

The Raiders share the stadium with the Oakland Athletics, so when both teams’ seasons are underway simultaneously — as they are now — the field is converted from football to baseball, and vice versa.
