INDIANAPOLIS — Raiders coach Jack Del Rio and 49ers general manager John Lynch want to see the Raiders-49ers exhibition series come back to life.

The Bay Area’s NFL teams discontinued their annual matchup after fan violence marred a 2011 meeting at Candlestick Park.

“We must get that done,” Del Rio said Thursday at the NFL scouting combine.

Lynch agrees, later stating: “Let’s do it. There’s things maybe that were going on that have do with some things (two fans were shot) in the parking lot, but we can get over that. If we present that the right way, that’s good for the league, good for the community.”

Del Rio also acknowledged that joint practices in training camp could also be an option.

Del Rio is entering his third season as the Raiders coach, and the 49ers-Raiders series was an annual exhibition when he was growing up in Hayward. The teams met each exhibition season from 1970-93, paused once the Raiders moved to Los Angeles, renewed it in 1999, and then faced off from 2001-11.

The 49ers and Raiders last met in the 2014 regular season, without any major incidents involving fans during the host Raiders’ 24-13 win.

“I’m hopeful we should be able to get that together. It makes too much sense,” Del Rio said. “We’re flying all the way to Green Bay instead of driving down the road?”

Last year, the Raiders went to Green Bay for their second game of the exhibition season. Meanwhile, the 49ers have made a habit of facing all the Raiders’ AFC West counterparts, especially the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers.

“I’m a big fan of Jack’s, a big fan of their roster and what they’ve done with it,” Lynch said.

Preseason schedules typically are announced in early April.

“With all the travel we both have to do from that spot, it makes all the sense in the world to do a home and away,” Del Rio said. “I’m hopeful we’ll get that done.”

The Raiders’ 2017 itinerary includes a “home” game in Mexico City for the second straight season, and this time they’ll be facing the Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots.

“We loved the experience going down and playing in that environment. It was a great environment,” Del Rio said. “I look forward to going down there again. I would love it if somehow the commissioner could make sure every other year maybe we have it as a ‘road’ game and not always a ‘home’ game for us. Don’t really look forward to playing nine road games and seven home games.”
