NFL to have public meetings in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego on possible team moves

With the prospect of a team or teams moving to the Los Angeles market, the NFL is planning public hearings in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego as part of the league’s relocation procedures.

According to the NFL, the purpose of the hearings is to provide an opportunity for fans and others in the community to ask questions and express their views directly to the league “before any decisions are made” about the moving of a club. Members of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s executive staff will be in attendance at the meetings.

Each hearing will take place from 7-10 p.m. local time and will be streamed live on NFL.com/publichearings.

The hearings will be open to the public and a free entry pass is required to attend. Pre-registration to request an entry pass begins Tuesday.

Entry passes will be reserved for season-ticket holders of the three teams – the Raiders, Rams and Chargers – on a first-come, first-served basis. Members of the community will also be able to request an entry pass.

Details and information on how to register for free entry:
