but you'd be correct in making the association. why?

because the Raiders could play at the new Santa Clara stadium, in addition to the 49ers --and the 49ers are open to that arrangement. it would give both a new facility at half the cost of one.

as for the A's?

then the Oakland Coliseum is freed up to be a baseball only facility for the A's. a new park could be built nearby and the old park torn down, like they did with the Vet in Philly.
