With today being the Raiders’ last game in Oakland, I was reminded of the rumors way back that they would move to Shea! No, I did not imagine this. This was back when it was still kind of annoying the Jets had moved to New Jersey.
Meanwhile, New York chases its team. Shea Stadium is available, but the land for the Trump stadium hasn’t even been condemned yet. There will be legal wrangles over that, too, from the businesses that would be displaced.
Although New York insiders contend the Raiders’ Al Davis has asked to be considered as a New York tenant, Davis dismisses that speculation as ”ludicrous.”
This is from a cool NY Times article that I am going to pick at more tomorrow – the stuff about Trump’s stadium caught my eye.
