County supervisor eyes Oakland club for Los Angeles Coliseum
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn said he would seek the Oakland Raiders for the Coliseum as Rams owner Carroll Rosenbloom weighs a possible move to Anaheim. The Rams deny an immediate decision, with a 1979 Coliseum contract and talks of stadium upgrades for Olympic hopes and better football seating. Hahn notes an NFL rule on moves but believes it may be illegal and plans to press for a new LA team if the Rams depart.
