Santa Clara officials preparing in case Raiders eye Levi’s Stadium

SANTA CLARA — If the Raiders make good on their pledge this week to bolt Oakland a year before their new Las Vegas stadium is ready, experts say their most likely destination would be a temporary revival of an old idea: sharing Levi’s Stadium with the 49ers.

On Thursday, Santa Clara officials said they were dusting off documents for such a plan to be ready in case the Silver and Black come calling. But Mayor Lisa Gillmor said the city had yet to hear from Raiders executives, a day after the team cut off negotiations to play at the Oakland Coliseum next season in response to a lawsuit the city of Oakland filed this week against the team and the NFL.
