Amari Cooper Trade Pushed By Oakland Raiders Las Vegas Stadium Finances

Amari Cooper Trade Pushed By Oakland Raiders Las Vegas Stadium Finances - Video

Amari Cooper Trade Pushed By Oakland Raiders Las Vegas Stadium Finances The livestream talk Monday night focused on the fact that the Raiders only received $48 million in collected hotel stadium tax revenue in April - that's less than the expected $60 million. In total, that means if the bond sale of $647 million is added in, the stadium bond revenue comes up $55 million short of the $750 million Nevada was to put in.. Someone - it would seem the Raiders - would have to fill in that gap. The Raiders are also at a shortfall in Las Vegas Stadium-related sponsorship revenue. Overall, I calculate the organization faces a $575 million shortfall in monies needed to afford stadium construction, when parking and training camp are included. Those shortages point to a short-term need to tighten spending, and that means letting go of high-dollar players like Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper. I don't believe the Raiders thought they would be in this situation last fall, but as the money situation for Las Vegas Stadium crystalized this year, a change of plan was in order. Now, it looks like they're gutting the heart of the team because of the cost of doing Las Vegas. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
