When does the NFL season end?
2019 NFL season
The Oakland Raiders' lease on Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum expires after the 2018 season. The team is slated to move to Las Vegas, Nevada once Las Vegas Stadium is completed; it is currently scheduled to open in 2020. The Coliseum management has expressed a reluctance to allow the Raiders to continue using the Coliseum after the lease expires unless the team pays more to cover the losses the Coliseum incurs by hosting Raiders games. In December 2018, the city of Oakland filed a lawsuit against the Raiders and the NFL seeking financial damages and unpaid debt, claiming the proposed relocation is illegal but not asking for an injunction forcing the team to stay. The Raiders have stated that if any legal action were filed against them, that they would not renew with the Coliseum and find another, undetermined, temporary home for 2019 until Las Vegas Stadium is finished.[44] As of January 2019, the three sites being considered for the Raiders in 2019 are Oracle Park in San Francisco, SDCCU Stadium in San Diego, and Mackay Stadium in Reno, Nevada,[45] with lobbyists for Tucson, Arizona also claiming that their city and its Arizona Stadium are also being considered as a longshot.[46]
