It’s official: the Oakland Raiders will die in San Francisco. Right after the end of The Big Game, Raj Mathai broke the news that the Giants will now be the only Major League Baseball team to share its home field with an NFL team, an honor once held by the Oakland A’s. No more, as the Oakland Raiders, unceremoniously punted out of Oakland, have landed on their cleats at Oracle Park for the 2019 season.
Terms of the deal were unknown at the time of the Chronicle’s post, but for the past few years, the Raiders had been paying the Oakland Coliseum Authority $3.
