OAKLAND, ST. LOUIS & SAN DIEGO AS PART OF PROCEDURES FOR POTENTIAL FRANCHISE RELOCATION
The NFL announced today that it will conduct public hearings later this month in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego as part of the league’s procedures for evaluating potential franchise relocations. The hearings will take place on October 27 (St. Louis), October 28 (San Diego) and October 29 (Oakland).
The purpose of these hearings is to provide an opportunity for fans and others in the community to ask questions and express their views directly to the NFL before any decisions are made about potential relocation of a club or clubs from a current market. Members of Commissioner Goodell’s executive staff will be in attendance to listen to comments and answer questions from the audience.
Each hearing will take place from 7:00 PM-10:00 PM local time and will be streamed live on NFL.com/publichearings.
