The Raiders could leave Oakland at the end of the upcoming season after the Oakland City Council has authorized a multimillion dollar antitrust lawsuit against the NFL and the Raiders.

The Raiders are planning on moving to Las Vegas.

The outside attorneys have agreed to cover all the up-front costs of the suit, which will likely seek millions of dollars in damages for the team’s exit. 

The suit could result in winning damages of up to $500 million.

“It’s going to happen,” Oakland Councilman Gallo said of the suit, calling it “absolutely a good thing.”

The team has been working on a new deal to play at the Coliseum next season and possibly the one after that if their Las Vegas stadium isn’t ready.
