The mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, said Tuesday that he was unaware of a proposal to have the Oakland Raiders play their home games in Birmingham during the 2019 NFL season.
According to AL.com's Howard Koplowitz, Mayor Randall Woodfin told City Council President Valerie Abbott that he had no knowledge of Councilor William Parker's reported proposal: "I'm unable to communicate anything to you about a proposal, so I couldn't articulate it to you. There has been nobody on our team that has talked to the Raiders organization, so there's nothing I can tell you because I don't know.
