In April 2017, the operators of the Coliseum stated they would be unwilling to sign an extension; by September of that year, the Coliseum operators expressed willingness to negotiate, but insisted on concessions to compensate for the million-dollar deficit the Coliseum runs by hosting Raiders games. The Raiders are believed to have substantial cash flow problems that could prevent them from making the necessary concessions. Owner Mark Davis has stated he would prefer to stay in Oakland for the 2019 season but is considering other options, including Las Vegas's
