during the 2 years that the Raiders were enjoined from playing
their games in Los Angeles: (1) The expense of continued
operation of a summer training camp in Santa Rosa, California;
(2) the prevention of the establishment of a Southern California
training facility; (3) the necessity of leasing and maintaining a
practice field in both Alameda County and Los Angeles County;
(4) the prevention of the construction of suites in the LA
Coliseum, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue;
(5) the reduced attendance at home games at the LA Coliseum;
(6) the decrease in season ticket sales; (7) the loss of radio
revenue; and (8) the expenses associated with housing,
relocation, and transportation of the Raiders personnel. In the
supplemental brief, the Raiders based their argument for recovery
on Cal. Civ. Proc. Code sec. 1268.620 (West 1982).
On February 23, 1987, the Raiders filed a complaint in
inverse condemnation against Oakland for damages arising out of
the eminent domain action alleging that:
[Oakland] denied the Raiders the free and untrammeled
possession and use of the property sought to be
condemned and thereby preempted Raiders’ full
possessory right to the enjoyment and use of the
Raiders property; interference with Raiders free use
and enjoyment also constituted a taking of an interest
in Raiders’ property for which Raiders have not been
compensated.
As of July 28, 1986, the Raiders claimed that the damages
sustained and yet to be sustained totaled in excess of
$26 million.
