Well the land is already there, but land in the bay area is of course monumentally expensive. Infrastructure too. It'd be impossible to even guess without knowing what is already there, what needs to be put in, whether there's remediation or cleanup to be done, whether an EIR has to be done and how long and expensive that would be, and of course, the real question is whether the oakland taxpayers would want to do it or not. Oakland already has high property taxes, and the area around the Colosseum is mostly poor people who can legitimately complain about a lack of services and security.

But it is a step forward.

a draft EIR has been released, info is here http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PBN/OurOrganization/PlanningZoning/OAK040453

I would much rather see the Raiders in Los Angeles as it puts them much closer to where I live, but I am in support of any deal that keeps them in California and the gently caress out of goddamn Texas
