The Oakland Athletics are entering a new phase in their stadium drama, as the Raiders and owner Mark Davis announced that Oakland’s NFL franchise has agreed to a one-year extension on their lease at the O.co Coliseum.
“There’s an elephant in the room, and that’s the Oakland Athletics. They have to make a commitment to what they want to do.” – Davis, at the press conference to announce the extension.
Davis accused the Athletics of muddying up the Oakland sports scene by signing a 10-year lease at the Coliseum in 2014.
