Goodell wants 49ers to share Levi Stadium with the Raiders

[Hangman]

Goodell can go fuck himself. The Raiders need to go build their own stadium. Preferably in LA.

 

[Davis_Mike]

It makes sense. Especially since the NFL loaned SF $200 mil to build the stadium. There is no reason why 2 teams in the same region can't share a stadium.

 

[williewilliejuan]

Fuck that. They can build their own.

 

[redseat]

Heck the Lakers and Clippers can do it (I know different sports) so the 49ers and Raiders could.

But yes I agree with you they should have their OWN stadiums

Is that really what he said? I thought he said Oakland has to decide if they want to share Levi's or build their own. I didn't get the impression he was pushing them in any direction.

Loaned. As in the Niners will pay it back with interest.

The reason they shouldn't share the stadium is so that it doesn't still stink from Raider fans when the Niners play.

The NFL won't even allow the Niners & Raiders to play each other in the preseason. Sharing a stadium would just be stupid.

Oh, and Goodell might've wanted to have mentioned this idea before the stadium was built.

The Raiders can go back to LA for all I care. Or even out of state.

Have they blown up Candlestick yet? If not, the Raiders can have that.

How do you know that there wasn't a discussion beforehand? The loan could have had a "quid pro quo" attached to it in the event the the Raiders couldn't get a new stadium by "x" date. Having one team play at home while the other is on the road is to easy schedule, so that the fans of each team wouldn't cross each other there.

Cause having 49ers and Raiders fans in close proximity to each other always works out for the best.

Decide? As in the Niners have no say in this? As in they're welcome to share it if they decide to?

I had no idea this is to what the Niners agreed when the stadium construction began.

 

[dyhard]

to me, it doesn't make sense for them to share. 1 team is in San Francisco, 1 team is in Oakland. 2 different cities, they should get their own stadiums.

Does the city of Santa Clara get a say? Having Niner fans come down eight times a year would be good for the community, spur business and promote overall community well-being. It's like having eight extra birthdays.

Adding Raider fans eight times a year is like getting getting kicked in the nuts and mugged eight times. They can't be happy about that.

The NY Giants & Jets of NJ disagree. SF & Oak are geographically close enough to share a stadium.

But they're a continent apart culturally and spiritually.

How do we know that it wasn't part of the negotiations? It might very well have been. Do you think the NFL & their lawyers make statements without having a plan in place?

I just read that Jed York has never been opposed to the idea.

[Rvnight18]

Screw the raiders. The 49ers FO did all the damn work. From becoming to end. The raiders deserve nothing. They did nothing in helping get the stadium built and now they want to waltz in and claim it too? Get bent.

 

[HammerDown]

I'll never, ever go to a Raiders @ Chargers game. It's best described as drunken mayhem.

 

[NinerSickness]

SF & Oak are geographically close enough to share a stadium.

But they're not genetically close enough to share a stadium as Raider fans clearly have some possum DNA in them.
