Goodell: Potential Raiders move painful all around

The NFL's 32 teams will vote Monday on a proposal that would move the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas. The result of the vote has yet to be determined, but league commissioner Roger Goodell is already addressing the black hole that would remain in Oakland should the relocation get approval.

"It is painful all the way around," Goodell said Thursday to Peter King of The MMQB. "The first thing you think about is the fans. It's disappointment that we weren't able to get to a successful conclusion - I said that when the Chargers moved (to Los Angeles). We worked tirelessly to try to get an outcome that would allow the Chargers to stay there. We didn't get there, so I am disappointed in that. The same would be true if that is the case with the Raiders."

The Raiders have played in Oakland since 1995 (and called the city home from 1960-81 before a move to Los Angeles), but the team and city have been unable to come to terms on a resolution for a new stadium. Oakland Coliseum has stood for more than 50 years and also houses MLB's Oakland Athletics. It is one of the more outdated facilities in the league.

"We have sought to get stability for the Raiders for several years. This goes back several decades back into the early '80s and probably even into the '70s. We really want to figure out a way to make sure that all 32 teams have that stability and a stadium is a big component of that," Goodell said.

Should the Raiders leave Oakland for a second time, Goodell maintains the blame will be shared by a number of parties.

"When we don't get that done in our current market, it is a failure, a collective responsibility on all of us - us, the community, the team, and that is disappointing to us," he said.
