Raiders decide on 1990s home site near end
Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis suggested a decision on the team's 1990s home could come soon after meetings at the training camp, though not before or during Saturday's preseason game in Oakland. Davis noted several cities remain on the bid, with Oakland proposing a 35 million franchise fee and Sacramento offering 50 million, while Los Angeles also seeks the club. He warned against halting football matters for speculation and called the Oakland return emotional but said the decision would not be rushed.
