==Home fields== [[File:Allegiant-Stadium-Aerial-4K.ogg|thumb|333px|right|[[Allegiant Stadium]] is a domed [[stadium]] located in [[Paradise, Nevada]].]] After splitting the first home season between [[Kezar Stadium]] and [[Candlestick Park|Candlestick]], the Raiders moved exclusively to [[Candlestick Park]] in 1961, where total attendance for the season was about 50,000, and finished 2β12. Valley threatened to move the Raiders out of the area unless a stadium was built in Oakland, so in 1962 the Raiders moved into 18,000-seat [[Frank Youell Field]] (later expanded to 22,000 seats), their first home in Oakland.<ref>Dickey, ''Just Win, Baby'', p. 10.</ref> It was a temporary home for the team while the 53,000 seat [[Oakland Coliseum]] was under construction; the Coliseum was completed in 1966. The Raiders shared the Coliseum with the [[Oakland Athletics]] once the A's moved to Oakland from Kansas City in 1968, except for the years the Raiders called Los Angeles home (1982β94). The Raiders defeated and lost to all 31 other NFL teams at the Coliseum at least once. The Raiders did play one regular-season game at [[California Memorial Stadium]] in [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]]. On September 23, 1973, they played the [[Miami Dolphins]] in Berkeley due to a scheduling conflict with the Athletics. The team defeated the Dolphins 12β7, ending Miami's winning streak. During the Los Angeles years, the Raiders played in the 93,000-seat [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]].<ref name="w677">{{cite web | last=Manzano | first=Gilbert | title=Raiders fans have flashbacks at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum | website=Las Vegas Review-Journal | date=2018-08-19 | url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders/raiders-fans-have-flashbacks-at-los-angeles-memorial-coliseum/ | access-date=2024-08-10}}</ref> From the assumption of the team by [[Mark Davis (American football)|Mark Davis]] in 2011, the Raiders had been subject to rampant relocation speculation as the team attempted to find a new stadium in Oakland or elsewhere, due to the age of [[Oakland Alameda Coliseum]], being secondary tenants to [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Oakland Athletics|Athletics]], and the expiration of the team's lease at the end of 2013. After looking into a variety of options in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and elsewhere the team ultimately relocated to the [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] area in 2020 where [[Allegiant Stadium]] was finishing construction. The Raiders share the 65,000-seat stadium with the [[UNLV Rebels football]] program.<ref name="j405">{{cite web | last=Taylor | first=John | title=UNLV 'very excited' to share Las Vegas stadium with Raiders | website=NBC Sports | date=2017-03-27 | url=https://www.nbcsports.com/college-football/news/unlv-very-excited-to-share-las-vegas-stadium-with-raiders | access-date=2024-08-10}}</ref>
