The next year in the divisional playoffs the Raiders trailed Miami 26—21; in the final minute the Raiders drove to the Miami eight-yard line; a desperation pass by Ken Stabler was caught in traffic by Clarence Davis in the play known as the "Sea of Hands".

The Pittsburgh Steelers ' rivalry with the Raiders has historically been very tight; as of the season the Raiders lead the regular-season series 13 wins to 10, and their playoff rivalry is tied 3—3.

The rivalry was extremely intense during the s, and considered by many to be one of the most vicious and brutal in the history of Professional football. From to the teams would meet in the playoffs five consecutive times, including three consecutive AFC Championship games.

The rivalry really kicked off during the teams' first playoff meeting at the AFC divisional round in Pittsburgh. Considered to be one of the most famous plays in NFL history, the " Immaculate Reception ", as it was dubbed, saw the Steelers beat the Raiders on a controversial last-second play.

During the AFC Championship game, Raiders strong safety George Atkinson delivered a hit on Pittsburgh wide receiver Lynn Swann , which left him concussed. When the two teams met in the season opener, Atkinson again hit Swann, this time with a forearm to the head, causing yet another concussion.

After the second incident, Steelers head coach Chuck Noll referred to Atkinson as part of the "criminal element" in the NFL. The four most recent contests between the Raiders and Steelers harkened back to the rivalry's history of bitterness and close competition.

In , the Raiders upset the Steelers again, scoring a late touchdown to take a 24—21 fourth-quarter lead and getting the last laugh when Steelers kicker Chris Boswell slipped and missed a game-tying field goal.

The rivalry between the Raiders and New England Patriots dates to their time in the AFL, but was intensified during a preseason game, when Patriots wide receiver Darryl Stingley was permanently paralyzed after a vicious hit delivered by Raiders free safety Jack Tatum.

While based in Los Angeles, the team hosted New England in the divisional round of the playoffs in The game was won by New England and marred by a chaotic rumble between the teams in the end zone as players were leaving the field after the game.

On August 20, , in the third week of the preseason, the preseason game between the rivals was marked by fights in restrooms and stands at Candlestick Park , including a shooting outside the stadium in which several were injured.

The NFL has decided to cancel all future preseason games between the Raiders and 49ers. The series ended on November 1, , during a Thursday Night Football broadcast at Levi's Stadium, marking the last time both teams would meet before the Raiders moved to their new home in Las Vegas.

The 49ers won the game 34—3 to tie their regular-season series at 7. Initially considered the "Battle of Los Angeles" during the Raiders' tenure in Los Angeles from to , the Raiders shared the market with the Los Angeles Rams during this period, sparking a fight for LA's dominant fans until both teams relocated due to declining attendance and mutual stadium issues following the season.

Louis the same year. The Raiders unsuccessfully attempted to move back to Los Angeles in after a failed joint stadium project with the then-San Diego Chargers.

Max Winter, a Minneapolis businessman was among the eight proposed franchise owners in the American Football League. In a move typical of the NFL owners who were frightened by the prospect of competition and continually obstructed the new league, they offered Winter an expansion franchise in the NFL.

This was after the NFL had rejected Lamar Hunt's feelers, saying they were not interested in expansion. One of many obfuscations put forward by the NFL in its attempt to derail the AFL.

After the AFL's first draft, in which players were selected for the then nameless Minneapolis franchise, Winter reneged from his agreement with the AFL owners and defected to the NFL with a franchise that started play in and was named the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings were never an AFL team, nor did they have any association with the AFL. Many of the players including Abner Haynes that had been assigned to the UNNAMED and defunct Minneapolis AFL franchise were signed by some of the seven loyal remaining members of the AFL's ' Foolish Club '.

The city of Oakland was awarded the eighth AFL franchise on January 30, Once the consortium of owners was found for the eighth franchise, the team was named the Raiders.

The Minneapolis group did not take with them any of the rights to players they drafted when they defected to the NFL, because their first draft in that league was in The Raiders were not originally in Minnesota as some claim. They were a new, charter franchise in the American Football League.

One reason they were so weak in the first few years of the AFL was that the other AFL teams did not make quality players available in the allocation draft. At the time, Oakland seemed an unlikely venue for a professional football team.

The city had not asked for a team, there was no ownership group and there was no stadium in Oakland suitable for pro football the closest stadiums were in Berkeley and San Francisco and there was already a successful NFL franchise in the Bay Area in the San Francisco 49ers.

The AFL owners selected Oakland after Los Angeles Chargers owner Barron Hilton threatened to forfeit his franchise unless a second team was placed on the West Coast. Upon receiving the franchise, Oakland civic leaders found a number of businesspeople willing to invest in the new team.

A limited partnership was formed to own the team headed by managing general partner Y. Charles Chet Soda — , a local real estate developer, and included general partners Ed McGah — , Robert Osborne — , F.

Wayne Valley — , restaurateur Harvey Binns — , Don Blessing — , and contractor Charles Harney — [] as well as numerous limited partners. Wilson Jr. After the conclusion of the first season Soda dropped out of the partnership, and on January 17, , Valley, McGah and Osborne bought out the remaining four general partners.

Soon after, Valley and McGah purchased Osborne's interest, with Valley named as the managing general partner. In Valley hired Al Davis, a former assistant coach for the San Diego Chargers, as head coach and general manager.

In April Davis left the Raiders after being named AFL Commissioner. With the merger, the position of commissioner was no longer needed, and Davis entered into discussions with Valley about returning to the Raiders.

On July 25, , Davis returned as part owner of the team. As part of the deal, Davis was also given control over football operations. In , with Wayne Valley out of the country for several weeks attending the Olympic Games in Munich, Davis's attorneys drafted a revised partnership agreement that made him the new managing general partner, with complete control over all of the Raiders' operations.

McGah, a supporter of Davis, signed the agreement. Under partnership law, by a 2—1 vote of the general partners, the new agreement was thus ratified. Valley was furious when he discovered this, and immediately filed suit to have the new agreement overturned, but the court sided with Davis and McGah.

In Valley sold his interest in the team. Although Davis only owned 25 percent of the team, no other partners have had any voice in team operations since. Legally, the club is owned by a nine-member limited partnership. Football, Inc. The heirs of the original eight-member ownership group are limited partners.

From onward, Davis had exercised total control of the Raiders as president of A. The limited partners have almost no role in team operations, though they were briefly mentioned in team media guides. Many of them had not watched, let alone attended, Raiders games in years at the time of Davis' death.

Ed McGah, the last surviving member of the original ownership group, died in September Upon his death, his interest was devised to a family trust , of which his son, E.

McGah , was the trustee. The younger McGah was himself a part-owner of the team, as a limited partner, and died in Several members of the McGah family filed suit against Davis in October , alleging mismanagement of the team by Davis.

The lawsuit sought monetary damages and to remove Davis and A. as general partner. Among their specific complaints, the McGahs alleged that Davis failed to provide them with detailed financial information previously provided to Ed and E. The Raiders countered that—under the terms of the partnership agreement as amended in —upon the death of the elder McGah in , his general partner interest converted to that of a limited partner.

The team continued to provide the financial information to the younger McGah as a courtesy, though it was under no obligation to do so. The majority of the lawsuit was dismissed in April , when an Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled that the case lacked merit since none of the other partners took part in the lawsuit.

In October the lawsuit was settled out of court. He was unsuccessful in this effort, reportedly because the sale would not give the purchaser any control of the Raiders, even in the event of Davis's death.

Al Davis died on October 8, , at age According to a partnership agreement, Davis' interest passed to his wife, Carol. Unlike his father, Mark mostly leaves on-field matters to the football operations staff. According to a report released by Forbes Magazine , the Raiders' overall team value is US 2.

Although the team has regularly sold out since , the team ranked in the bottom three in league attendance from to , and failed to sell out a majority of their home games. One of the reasons cited for the poor attendance figures was the decision to issue costly personal seat licenses PSLs upon the Raiders' return to Oakland in They were only valid for ten years, while other teams issue them permanently.

As a result, fewer than 31, PSLs were sold for a stadium that holds twice that number. From until the lifting of the policy in television blackouts of Raiders home games were common. In November the team announced that it was taking over ticket sales from the privately run Oakland Football Marketing Association OFMA , and abolishing PSLs.

The Raiders and Al Davis have been involved in several lawsuits throughout their history, including ones against the NFL. When the NFL declined to approve the Raiders' move from Oakland to Los Angeles in , the team joined the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission in a lawsuit against the league alleging a violation of antitrust laws.

He was the only NFL owner to do so. After relocating back to Oakland, the team sued the NFL for interfering with their negotiations to build a new stadium at Hollywood Park prior to the move.

The Raiders' lawsuit further contended that they had the rights to the Los Angeles market, and thus were entitled to compensation from the league for giving up those rights by moving to Oakland.

A jury found in favor of the NFL in , but the verdict was overturned a year later due to alleged juror misconduct. In February , a California Court of Appeal unanimously upheld the original verdict.

When the Raiders moved back from Los Angeles in , the city of Oakland and the Oakland—Alameda County Coliseum Authority agreed to sell Personal Seat Licenses PSLs to help pay for the renovations to their stadium. But after games rarely sold out, the Raiders filed suit, claiming that they were misled by the city and the Coliseum Authority with the false promise that there would be sellouts.

On November 2, , a settlement was announced, part of which was the abolishment of PSLs as of the season. In the team sued the NFL in Santa Clara County , in a lawsuit that ultimately included 22 separate causes of action.

Included in the team's claims were claims that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ' pirate logo diluted the team's California trademark in its own pirate logo and for trade dress dilution on the ground that the League had improperly permitted other teams including the Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers to adopt colors for their uniforms similar to those of the Raiders.

Among other things, the lawsuit sought an injunction to prevent the Buccaneers and Panthers from wearing their uniforms while playing in California.

In these claims were dismissed on summary judgment because the relief sought would violate the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. In a number of current and former Oakland players such as Bill Romanowski , Tyrone Wheatley , Barrett Robbins , Chris Cooper and Dana Stubblefield were named as clients of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative BALCO.

BALCO was an American company led by founder and owner Victor Conte. Also in , journalists Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada investigated the company's role in a drug sports scandal later referred to as the BALCO Affair. BALCO marketed tetrahydrogestrinone "the Clear" , a then-undetected, performance-enhancing steroid developed by chemist Patrick Arnold.

Conte, BALCO vice president James Valente, weight trainer Greg Anderson and coach Remi Korchemny had supplied a number of high-profile sports stars from the United States and Europe with the Clear and human growth hormone for several years.

Headquartered in Burlingame , BALCO was founded in Officially, BALCO was a service business for blood and urine analysis and food supplements.

In , Victor Conte offered free blood and urine tests to a group of athletes known as the BALCO Olympians. He then was allowed to attend the Summer Olympics in Seoul , South Korea. From Conte worked with well-known American football star Bill Romanowski, who proved to be useful to establish new connections to athletes and coaches.

The Raiders share the 65,seat stadium with the UNLV Rebels football program. Al Davis coined slogans such as "Pride and Poise", "Commitment to Excellence", and "Just Win, Baby"—all of which are registered trademarks of the team.

The nickname Raider Nation refers to the fans of the team spread throughout the United States and the world. The Raider Nation is also known for the Black Hole, originally a specific area of the Coliseum sections — frequented by the team's rowdiest and most fervent fans from until Al Davis created the phrase Raider Nation in In September , Ice Cube recorded a song for the Raiders named "Raider Nation".

Traditionally, Monday night games airing on ESPN would air on ABC affiliates KTNV-TV channel 13 in Las Vegas and KGO-TV channel 7 in Oakland. During the team's two tenures in Oakland, the Raiders were a beneficiary of league scheduling policies.

Both the Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers shared the San Francisco Bay Area market, on the West Coast of the United States. This meant that the Raiders could not play any home games, road division games against the Denver Broncos or Los Angeles Chargers , or interconference road games against the NFC West in seasons that the AFC West and NFC West meet in interconference play in the early a.

Pacific time slot. In addition, they could not play interconference home games at the same time or network as the 49ers.

As a result, both teams generally had more limited scheduling options and also benefited by receiving more prime time games than usual. Starting shortly after the announcement of the Raider franchise relocation to Las Vegas, KVVU-TV, the local Fox affiliate in Las Vegas began carrying all Raiders preseason games and special content.

The Chiefs are one of the Raiders' most iconic and longstanding divisional foes, with the rivalry dating back to the earliest days of the AFL. Oakland lost the AFL Championship against Kansas City, who went on to beat the Minnesota Vikings and win the Super Bowl.

From to , the Raiders lost 17 out of 20 regular-season meetings between the Chiefs, including a 10—game losing streak at Kansas City; the Raiders also lost to the Chiefs 10—6 in the Wild Card round on December 28, On September 8, , the Chiefs also began to lead the overall series against the Raiders for the first time since November 23, On January 1, , the last game of the NFL regular season, the Raiders defeated the Chiefs for the first time in Kansas City since in overtime on a yard field goal kick made by Joe Nedney.

Until October 19, — when they defeated the Chiefs, 31—30 on a game-tying touchdown on the last play of the game, leading to a game-winning PAT — the Raiders had lost five straight to the Chiefs, their previous win against them being in the season.

However, the Raiders would defeat the Chiefs 40—32 in the , snapping a five-game losing streak and also winning in Kansas City for the first time since On Christmas Day , the Raiders defeated the Chiefs and snapped another five-game losing streak.

The Chiefs lead the overall series 71—54—2 , and are the only team in the AFC West against whom the Raiders have a losing record.

The Raiders' rivalry with the Broncos is considered to be one of the most heated and well-known rivalries in NFL history. The Raiders managed a game winning streak against the Broncos from to , which lasted until October 22, , when the Broncos defeated the Raiders 30— The Broncos amassed 21 wins in 28 games, from the season and the arrival of Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan , through the season.

Shanahan coached the Raiders before being fired just four games into the season, which served to intensify this rivalry. On December 13, , the Raiders pulled a huge upset on the Broncos 15—12 by a spectacular performance from their defense allowing only four field goals.

Linebacker Khalil Mack recorded five sacks in that game which is tied for the most sacks in a game with Howie Long. The Broncos reached their first-ever Super Bowl when they defeated the Raiders 20—17 in the AFC Championship Game.

The two teams have faced off on Monday Night Football a total of 19 times, making it the most frequent Monday Night matchup in NFL history. Raiders hold the advantage in the all-time series 72—53—2. The Los Angeles Chargers ' rivalry with Oakland dates to the season, when the Raiders defeated the heavily favored Chargers twice, both come-from-behind fourth-quarter victories.

The Raiders held a streak without losing to the Chargers with a 16—0—2 record from to One of the most memorable games between these teams was the "Holy Roller" game in , in which the Raiders fumbled for a touchdown in a very controversial play. In January the Chargers hosted their first AFC title against the Raiders.

The Raiders were victorious over the Chargers of a score 34— The Raiders ended up moving on to play in Super Bowl 15 defeating the Eagles 27— On November 22, , the Raiders hosted their first Monday Night football game in Los Angeles against the San Diego Chargers.

The Raiders faced the Miami Dolphins thrice in the early s. The Raiders defeated the Dolphins 21—14 in the divisional round, then the Dolphins exacted revenge in the AFC Championship Game by winning 27—10 on their way to Super Bowl VIII.

The next year in the divisional playoffs the Raiders trailed Miami 26—21; in the final minute the Raiders drove to the Miami eight-yard line; a desperation pass by Ken Stabler was caught in traffic by Clarence Davis in the play known as the "Sea of Hands".

The Pittsburgh Steelers ' rivalry with the Raiders has historically been very tight; as of the season the Raiders lead the regular-season series 13 wins to 10, and their playoff rivalry is tied 3—3. The rivalry was extremely intense during the s, and considered by many to be one of the most vicious and brutal in the history of Professional football.

From to the teams would meet in the playoffs five consecutive times, including three consecutive AFC Championship games. The rivalry really kicked off during the teams' first playoff meeting at the AFC divisional round in Pittsburgh. Considered to be one of the most famous plays in NFL history, the " Immaculate Reception ", as it was dubbed, saw the Steelers beat the Raiders on a controversial last-second play.

During the AFC Championship game, Raiders strong safety George Atkinson delivered a hit on Pittsburgh wide receiver Lynn Swann , which left him concussed.

When the two teams met in the season opener, Atkinson again hit Swann, this time with a forearm to the head, causing yet another concussion.

After the second incident, Steelers head coach Chuck Noll referred to Atkinson as part of the "criminal element" in the NFL. The four most recent contests between the Raiders and Steelers harkened back to the rivalry's history of bitterness and close competition. On December 6, , the 3—8 Raiders helped spoil the defending champions ' quest for the playoffs as the game lead changed five times in the fourth quarter and a Louis Murphy touchdown with 11 seconds to go won it 27—24 for the Raiders.

Oakland was then beaten 35—3 by Pittsburgh on November 21, ; this game brought out the roughness of the rivalry's s history when Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was punched by Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour following a touchdown.

On November 8, , the Steelers outplayed the Raiders for a 38—35 victory. During the game, the Raiders defense allowed wide receiver Antonio Brown to catch 17 passes for yards. Both are Steelers team records and the yards is the 7th most yards receiving in a game in NFL history.

In , the Raiders upset the Steelers again, scoring a late touchdown to take a 24—21 fourth-quarter lead and getting the last laugh when Steelers kicker Chris Boswell slipped and missed a game-tying field goal.

This game, which was the teams' final matchup in Oakland, contributed to the Steelers' late-season collapse and missing the playoffs that year. The rivalry between the Raiders and New England Patriots dates to their time in the AFL, but was intensified during a preseason game, when Patriots wide receiver Darryl Stingley was permanently paralyzed after a vicious hit delivered by Raiders free safety Jack Tatum.

Before that, New England also lost a playoff game in to the Raiders; the game is unofficially known as "The Ben Dreith Game" due to a controversial penalty by head referee Dreith.

While based in Los Angeles, the team hosted New England in the divisional round of the playoffs in The game was won by New England and marred by a chaotic rumble between the teams in the end zone as players were leaving the field after the game.

The brawl was especially notable for Matt Millen attacking Patriots GM Patrick Sullivan with his helmet. The two teams met in a divisional-round playoff game in , which became known as the " Tuck Rule Game ". Late in the game, an incomplete pass, ruled a fumble, by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was overturned, and New England went on to win in overtime and eventually won the Super Bowl against the heavily favored St.

Louis Rams , the Raiders' former crosstown rivals in Los Angeles. The first contest being the following year during the season in Oakland, with the Raiders winning 27—20; they met in the season opener in New England with the Patriots ruining Randy Moss ' debut as a Raider 30—20; the Patriots defeated the Raiders 49—26 in December in Bill Belichick 's th regular-season win as Patriots coach; a Patriots 31—19 win during the season ; a scrappy 16—9 Patriots win in the third week of the season , and the Patriots' 33—8 win in Mexico City in The Raiders would not beat New England again until , after they relocated to Las Vegas, with a failed lateral pass play by New England at the end of regulation resulting in a walk-off touchdown and a 30—24 win for the Raiders.

The teams met again in the following season with the Raiders winning 21— The New York Jets began a strong rivalry with the Raiders in the AFL during the s that continued through much of the s, fueled in part by Raider Ike Lassiter breaking star quarterback Joe Namath 's jaw during a game though Ben Davidson was wrongly blamed , [] the famous Heidi Game during the season, and the Raiders' bitter loss to the Jets in the AFL Championship later that season.

The rivalry waned in later years, but saw a minor resurgence in the —02 period. In the season the Raiders defeated the Jets 26—20 in December, then defeated them again in the AFC Divisional Playoffs, 30— The Raiders lost the 37—27 on December 8, , but won the most recent matchup 20—34 on November 1, In , Derek Carr threw a game-winning touchdown to Henry Ruggs, defeating them 31— They met again in where the Raiders won 18—12, preventing a pass that would've been a Hail Mary.

The Raiders faced the Houston Oilers throughout the AFL era and twice in AFL playoffs in the late s, winning 40—7 in on their way to Super Bowl II and 56—7 in the divisional playoffs. Oakland defeated the Oilers in the Wild Card playoffs 27—7 and defeated the Titans in the AFC Championship Game 41— The San Francisco 49ers , located on the other side of San Francisco Bay , were the Raiders' geographic rivals during the Raiders' time in Oakland.

The first exhibition game, played in , ended with the 49ers defeating the AFL Raiders 13— After the merger, the 49ers won in Oakland 38—7. As a result, games between the two are referred to as the "Battle of the Bay". Fans and players of the winning team could claim "bragging rights" as the better team in the area.

On August 20, , in the third week of the preseason, the preseason game between the rivals was marked by fights in restrooms and stands at Candlestick Park , including a shooting outside the stadium in which several were injured. The NFL has decided to cancel all future preseason games between the Raiders and 49ers.

The series ended on November 1, , during a Thursday Night Football broadcast at Levi's Stadium, marking the last time both teams would meet before the Raiders moved to their new home in Las Vegas.

The 49ers won the game 34—3 to tie their regular-season series at 7. Initially considered the "Battle of Los Angeles" during the Raiders' tenure in Los Angeles from to , the Raiders shared the market with the Los Angeles Rams during this period, sparking a fight for LA's dominant fans until both teams relocated due to declining attendance and mutual stadium issues following the season.

Louis the same year. The Raiders unsuccessfully attempted to move back to Los Angeles in after a failed joint stadium project with the then-San Diego Chargers. Max Winter, a Minneapolis businessman was among the eight proposed franchise owners in the American Football League.

In a move typical of the NFL owners who were frightened by the prospect of competition and continually obstructed the new league, they offered Winter an expansion franchise in the NFL.

This was after the NFL had rejected Lamar Hunt's feelers, saying they were not interested in expansion. One of many obfuscations put forward by the NFL in its attempt to derail the AFL. After the AFL's first draft, in which players were selected for the then nameless Minneapolis franchise, Winter reneged from his agreement with the AFL owners and defected to the NFL with a franchise that started play in and was named the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings were never an AFL team, nor did they have any association with the AFL. Many of the players including Abner Haynes that had been assigned to the UNNAMED and defunct Minneapolis AFL franchise were signed by some of the seven loyal remaining members of the AFL's ' Foolish Club '.

The city of Oakland was awarded the eighth AFL franchise on January 30, Once the consortium of owners was found for the eighth franchise, the team was named the Raiders. The Minneapolis group did not take with them any of the rights to players they drafted when they defected to the NFL, because their first draft in that league was in The Raiders were not originally in Minnesota as some claim.

They were a new, charter franchise in the American Football League. One reason they were so weak in the first few years of the AFL was that the other AFL teams did not make quality players available in the allocation draft.

At the time, Oakland seemed an unlikely venue for a professional football team. The city had not asked for a team, there was no ownership group and there was no stadium in Oakland suitable for pro football the closest stadiums were in Berkeley and San Francisco and there was already a successful NFL franchise in the Bay Area in the San Francisco 49ers.

The AFL owners selected Oakland after Los Angeles Chargers owner Barron Hilton threatened to forfeit his franchise unless a second team was placed on the West Coast. Upon receiving the franchise, Oakland civic leaders found a number of businesspeople willing to invest in the new team.

A limited partnership was formed to own the team headed by managing general partner Y. Charles Chet Soda — , a local real estate developer, and included general partners Ed McGah — , Robert Osborne — , F. Wayne Valley — , restaurateur Harvey Binns — , Don Blessing — , and contractor Charles Harney — [] as well as numerous limited partners.

Wilson Jr. After the conclusion of the first season Soda dropped out of the partnership, and on January 17, , Valley, McGah and Osborne bought out the remaining four general partners. Soon after, Valley and McGah purchased Osborne's interest, with Valley named as the managing general partner.

In Valley hired Al Davis, a former assistant coach for the San Diego Chargers, as head coach and general manager. In April Davis left the Raiders after being named AFL Commissioner. With the merger, the position of commissioner was no longer needed, and Davis entered into discussions with Valley about returning to the Raiders.

On July 25, , Davis returned as part owner of the team. As part of the deal, Davis was also given control over football operations. In , with Wayne Valley out of the country for several weeks attending the Olympic Games in Munich, Davis's attorneys drafted a revised partnership agreement that made him the new managing general partner, with complete control over all of the Raiders' operations.

McGah, a supporter of Davis, signed the agreement. Under partnership law, by a 2—1 vote of the general partners, the new agreement was thus ratified. Valley was furious when he discovered this, and immediately filed suit to have the new agreement overturned, but the court sided with Davis and McGah.

In Valley sold his interest in the team. Although Davis only owned 25 percent of the team, no other partners have had any voice in team operations since.

Legally, the club is owned by a nine-member limited partnership. Football, Inc. The heirs of the original eight-member ownership group are limited partners. From onward, Davis had exercised total control of the Raiders as president of A.

The limited partners have almost no role in team operations, though they were briefly mentioned in team media guides.

Many of them had not watched, let alone attended, Raiders games in years at the time of Davis' death. Ed McGah, the last surviving member of the original ownership group, died in September Upon his death, his interest was devised to a family trust , of which his son, E.

McGah , was the trustee. The younger McGah was himself a part-owner of the team, as a limited partner, and died in Several members of the McGah family filed suit against Davis in October , alleging mismanagement of the team by Davis.

The lawsuit sought monetary damages and to remove Davis and A. as general partner. Among their specific complaints, the McGahs alleged that Davis failed to provide them with detailed financial information previously provided to Ed and E.

The Raiders countered that—under the terms of the partnership agreement as amended in —upon the death of the elder McGah in , his general partner interest converted to that of a limited partner. The team continued to provide the financial information to the younger McGah as a courtesy, though it was under no obligation to do so.

The majority of the lawsuit was dismissed in April , when an Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled that the case lacked merit since none of the other partners took part in the lawsuit. In October the lawsuit was settled out of court. He was unsuccessful in this effort, reportedly because the sale would not give the purchaser any control of the Raiders, even in the event of Davis's death.

Al Davis died on October 8, , at age According to a partnership agreement, Davis' interest passed to his wife, Carol.

Unlike his father, Mark mostly leaves on-field matters to the football operations staff. According to a report released by Forbes Magazine , the Raiders' overall team value is US 2. Although the team has regularly sold out since , the team ranked in the bottom three in league attendance from to , and failed to sell out a majority of their home games.

One of the reasons cited for the poor attendance figures was the decision to issue costly personal seat licenses PSLs upon the Raiders' return to Oakland in They were only valid for ten years, while other teams issue them permanently.

As a result, fewer than 31, PSLs were sold for a stadium that holds twice that number. From until the lifting of the policy in television blackouts of Raiders home games were common. In November the team announced that it was taking over ticket sales from the privately run Oakland Football Marketing Association OFMA , and abolishing PSLs.

The Raiders and Al Davis have been involved in several lawsuits throughout their history, including ones against the NFL. When the NFL declined to approve the Raiders' move from Oakland to Los Angeles in , the team joined the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission in a lawsuit against the league alleging a violation of antitrust laws.

He was the only NFL owner to do so. After relocating back to Oakland, the team sued the NFL for interfering with their negotiations to build a new stadium at Hollywood Park prior to the move. The Raiders' lawsuit further contended that they had the rights to the Los Angeles market, and thus were entitled to compensation from the league for giving up those rights by moving to Oakland.

A jury found in favor of the NFL in , but the verdict was overturned a year later due to alleged juror misconduct. In February , a California Court of Appeal unanimously upheld the original verdict. When the Raiders moved back from Los Angeles in , the city of Oakland and the Oakland—Alameda County Coliseum Authority agreed to sell Personal Seat Licenses PSLs to help pay for the renovations to their stadium.

But after games rarely sold out, the Raiders filed suit, claiming that they were misled by the city and the Coliseum Authority with the false promise that there would be sellouts. On November 2, , a settlement was announced, part of which was the abolishment of PSLs as of the season.

In the team sued the NFL in Santa Clara County , in a lawsuit that ultimately included 22 separate causes of action. Included in the team's claims were claims that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ' pirate logo diluted the team's California trademark in its own pirate logo and for trade dress dilution on the ground that the League had improperly permitted other teams including the Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers to adopt colors for their uniforms similar to those of the Raiders.

Among other things, the lawsuit sought an injunction to prevent the Buccaneers and Panthers from wearing their uniforms while playing in California. In these claims were dismissed on summary judgment because the relief sought would violate the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.

In a number of current and former Oakland players such as Bill Romanowski , Tyrone Wheatley , Barrett Robbins , Chris Cooper and Dana Stubblefield were named as clients of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative BALCO.

BALCO was an American company led by founder and owner Victor Conte. Also in , journalists Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada investigated the company's role in a drug sports scandal later referred to as the BALCO Affair.

BALCO marketed tetrahydrogestrinone "the Clear" , a then-undetected, performance-enhancing steroid developed by chemist Patrick Arnold.

Conte, BALCO vice president James Valente, weight trainer Greg Anderson and coach Remi Korchemny had supplied a number of high-profile sports stars from the United States and Europe with the Clear and human growth hormone for several years.

Headquartered in Burlingame , BALCO was founded in Officially, BALCO was a service business for blood and urine analysis and food supplements. In , Victor Conte offered free blood and urine tests to a group of athletes known as the BALCO Olympians.

He then was allowed to attend the Summer Olympics in Seoul , South Korea. From Conte worked with well-known American football star Bill Romanowski, who proved to be useful to establish new connections to athletes and coaches.
