The same reason. Stadium improvements. The Coliseum Commission was inept. They ran the Rams off to Anaheim and the Raiders back to Oakland. Georgia got a sweet deal from St. Louis and it was adios California.

Thanks for the clarification. I admire your understanding of sports business.

When I lived in Berkeley in 1990’s I would visit the Hyatt hotel in Oakland during Raider away games and join the Black Hole Gang and Raider fans at the hotel. Huge 6’6” guys with tattoos and their dates.
