Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis has been dealing with a lot of speculation about the team relocating to different parts of the country. There has been chatter about the Raiders and the city of San Antonio and the talk of Los Angeles will never die down.

The Raiders held practices in Oxnard this week with the Dallas Cowboys and have plenty of fans in the stands cheering on the team. Davis knows that the team would be well received if they moved back down to SoCal.
"“I think we’d be well received if we ever moved back (to Los Angeles),” Davis said Wednesday, via the Los Angeles Daily News. “Raiders Nation is strong in SoCal.” – NFL.com"
What will the team do though? Their current deal in Oakland expires at the end of this season and the team would not indicate a move until after the end of the year. There still is no stadium for the Raiders to play in Los Angeles. If they did decide to head South though, the team could play in Pasadena for a bit while they build up a new stadium for the Raiders.
There definitely is support for the Raiders in Los Angeles. They could be the team that makes it happen out there. It makes a ton of sense.
