Raiders owner Mark Davis asked about nostalgia in final Oakland game, fans denounce response
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Oakland Raiders played their final game at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on Sunday -- and before fans rained down boos after the team's loss, owner Mark Davis had some interesting words about leaving.
Davis’ remarks to KTVU surfaced after the Raiders fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 20-16.
The Raiders were up 16-3 at halftime but Jacksonville went on a furious comeback with a field goal in the third quarter and two touchdown passes from Gardner Minshew II in the fourth quarter.

“No,” Davis said. “You know I went through this in 1982... um... and uh... no.”
