On the day the Raiders moved a step closer to Las Vegas, the team re-affirmed its desire to play in the Coliseum the next three seasons, if Oakland wants them to stay.

NFL owners assembled in Chicago unanimously approved the Raiders’ stadium lease in Las Vegas, paving the way for construction to begin perhaps in January on the 62-acre plot where a $1.9 billion stadium will be built. The Raiders plan to play in Vegas beginning in 2020 after their relocation was approved by owners in March by a 31-1 vote.

The Raiders’ lease in Vegas is a 30-year deal with options, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

“It was a big step … a well-done process,” Raiders owner Mark Davis told Rapoport.

The Raiders have legally-binding options to play in Oakland the next two seasons, but team president Marc Badain said they’d also like to play in the Coliseum in 2019. Badain echoed Davis’ earlier statement when he told the Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole Tuesday that if the city wants them, the Raiders are willing to work out a deal for 2019.

Oakland Council President Larry Reid, who was visibly livid when the NFL owners voted in favor of the Las Vegas move, even saying he would donate his Raiders gear to a thrift store, said he would not vote for a lease extension at the Coliseum.

Reid, who also sits on the Coliseum authority which has a vote on any lease agreement, said the city and county must begin to discuss the future of the government-owned Coliseum complex. Reid said as of last week, the Raiders organization had not been in contact with Coliseum authority Executive Director Scott McKibben.

“I’m going to hold true to my word,” Reid said Tuesday evening. “I am not going to vote to add a year on the Raiders lease agreement. If they can convince the other seven on the (Coliseum authority board) they shouldn’t have a problem getting their one-year lease extension.”

The Coliseum authority board indicated in March it had no desire to house the Raiders beyond the 2017 and 2018 seasons, claiming it loses money when the Raiders play at the Coliseum.

Meanwhile, some fans in Oakland decided to no longer give their money to the Raiders.
