<P> Prior to the 1980 season , Al Davis attempted unsuccessfully to have improvements made to the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum , specifically the addition of luxury boxes . That year , he signed a Memorandum of Agreement to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles . The move , which required three - fourths approval by league owners , was defeated 22 -- 0 ( with five owners abstaining ) . When Davis tried to move the team anyway , he was blocked by an injunction . In response , the Raiders not only became an active partner in an antitrust lawsuit filed by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ( who had recently lost the Los Angeles Rams ) , but filed an antitrust lawsuit of their own . After the first case was declared a mistrial , in May 1982 a second jury found in favor of Davis and the Los Angeles Coliseum , clearing the way for the move . With the ruling , the Raiders finally relocated to Los Angeles for the 1982 season to play their home games at the Los Angeles Coliseum . </P>
