Report: Raiders eye S.F. Giants' stadium in 2019

Still a year away from moving to Las Vegas, the Oakland Raiders have reportedly reached a deal with the San Francisco Giants to play in their baseball stadium in 2019. The Raiders' preference to spend next season in San Francisco was reported first by NBC Bay Area KNTV. NFL Network reports both the San Francisco 49ers and the NFL must approve the decision for it to become final.

Oracle Park, a stadium along the waterfront in San Francisco, was known as AT&T Park before its recent name change. Las Vegas is set to welcome the Raiders for the 2020 season. The Raiders are searching for a one-year home after their lease expired at Oakland's O.co Coliseum at the end of last season.

The team was expected to stay in the Bay Area one way or another, whether through a resolution at the Coliseum, or by sharing with the 49ers or MLB's Giants. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked last week whether the Raiders might spend one season in San Diego.

"I think the hope of (Raiders owner Mark Davis) is to continue to be in the Bay Area with Raider fans," he said. --Field Level Media
