Shame doesn't typically enter into business deals. If anything, its the first thing to go...
I love how it's now just sort of assumed its up to the city to build them something.

For those of you discussing modern multi purpose stadium options.
Edit: 40,500 seats for baseball, 53,000 with temp seating for Soccer.
edit edit: its the home park of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters which just blows the "A's" out of the water....

^^Pretty well said. And its sad the fans in Oakland get treated this way. They're some of the scarie...err... best fans in the league and every 20 years they get put through the "pony up or we're leaving" song and dance.
Stiff upper lip Raiders fans. You'll continue being an example to the rest of the league, telling the NFL and its owners: "We'll continue loving your sport, but we're not here to line your pockets at the expense of our city"

Can we cut the foreplay and just get it done at the Coliseum guys? We know its going to happen...
Oh, I'm just talking about playing the final season at the Coliseum, not the Raiders building a new stadium.
Dooo do doooo
Only took a month, but here we are. Need to start making calls on the stock market... (In all seriousness tho, it was the only practical choice).
Just changing venues (Nevermind changing cities) is a logistical nightmare for scheduling, so they want to be really really really sure. It wouldn't surprise me if they just called it soon for 2020 as well, even if the stadium does end up being ready on time.
*Possibly 2
Sooo... the plan is now "buy up the whole old stadium site and build a new stadium there? Or buy up the site and develop it, and use the profits to fund the new stadium at the terminal?
