more info on Oakland Raiders planned future move to Los Angeles?

Raiders fans reliving the Los Angeles nightmare, The Press Democrat, Phil Barber, Dec. 14, 2015.

' . . . At one point, the move was impacted by four major lawsuits. The Los Angeles Coliseum Commission sued the NFL, charging antitrust violations. The NFL sued the Raiders for breach of contract. Raiders season ticket holders brought a class-action suit against the team. And the City of Oakland filed for eminent domain, attempting to take control of the team “in the public interest.” . . '

' . . . On Dec. 1 of that year, thousands of fans stayed outside the Oakland Coliseum for the first five minutes of a big Monday night game against the Broncos. The Raiders tried to undermine the effort by sending cheerleaders into the parking lot to entice tailgaters with promise of a new pregame routine. It didn’t work. Some accounts noted that “almost two-thirds” of the stadium seats were empty at kickoff. At the 2-minute warnings, the crowd held up signs reading “Save Our Raiders.” . . '

And "planned future" should be emphasized for the Raiders played the entire 1980 season in Oakland including winning the Superbowl.

This article includes that in the previous off-season on March 10, 1980, NFL owners voted 22-0 at their annual meeting not to allow the Raiders to move (with the Raiders not participating, and five teams abstaining).

I think some of this is worth including, along with this and possibly other references. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 01:22, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This book looks like it also has some good information. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 18:17, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
