...franchise last spring to the more commodious Los Angeles Coliseum, but N.F.L. owners refused to ap prove the move. Angry at being spurned after ten straight years of sell-out crowds, Oakland and then the N.F.L. sued in state court to make the Raiders stay and play by the bay. The Los Angeles Coliseum Commission and the Raiders then sued the N.F.L. in federal court for the right to take flight in the night...
