Mark Davis quashed a story that circulated this week by saying the Oakland Raiders will paint the 50-yard line numerals on their field in gold as soon as baseball season ends.
The Raiders were accused Tuesday of refusing NFL directions to paint the 50-yard line numerals at O.co Coliseum in gold as part of the league’s “On the 50” campaign. Though an NFL employee said that was just because the team has to share the field with the Oakland A’s until the end of baseball season, the Coliseum’s GM said otherwise. He said the Raiders were not planning to do it at all, even after baseball season ended.
