The Oakland Raiders attempts to figure out a stadium solution are picking up some steam in several areas. The team continues to look at opportunities in Las Vegas, with county commissioners considering a financing package. While Las Vegas seems like a potential front-runner, a new opportunity has arisen in Oakland, involving some former players. One of whom is kind of a big deal for 49ers fans.
In recent weeks, the San Francisco Chronicle has been reporting that all-time great safety Ronnie Lott, and not awful quarterback Rodney Peete are building a group that could potentially help finance a stadium in Oakland, at the Coliseum site.
