The Oakland Raiders got another reminder on Sunday of why Mark Davis is trying so hard to move them to Las Vegas.

Heavy rain inundated the Bay Area on Sunday, and video from Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle shows that the Coliseum was simply unprepared to handle it. The view from the visiting tunnel was very wet and rather disconcerting given the amount of electrical wires in the area.

There are many reasons that Davis is pursuing – with some success – the move to Las Vegas. The Coliseum simply is not a usable long-term home for the Raiders, one way or another.
