Raiders, Hollywood Park Near Agreement : Pro football: Davis has been given final proposal for new stadium in Inglewood. Officials expect him to accept it.

After a week of uncertainty, Al Davis and Hollywood Park officials are finally “on the verge of a final agreement” that would result in the construction of a new stadium in Inglewood and a permanent home here for the Raiders.

Hollywood Park officials delivered a final proposal to Raider owner Davis on Friday. They expect him to accept it.

Many were convinced of Davis’ intentions on Thursday during a meeting with contractor Ron Tutor, whose company had been enlisted to either build the Hollywood Park stadium or renovate a new home for the Raiders in Oakland.

“Forget Oakland,” Davis reportedly told Tutor, confirming Davis’ decision to remain here.

Earlier this week, Hollywood Park officials reached an agreement with the NFL to build the $220-million stadium at Hollywood Park while giving the league an option to bring a second team there in exchange for two Super Bowls in the next 10 years and the right to sell 10,000 tickets to each game.

The only thing missing was a commitment from Davis, which now appears imminent.

Upon the announcement of that decision, the agreement will be presented to NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. He is expected to recommend passage during a conference call with league owners within days of the announcement.

If the paperwork is completed as expected, construction could begin as soon as November, and doors would open for the 1997 season.

The facility would seat 67,500 for regular-season games and 82,000 for Super Bowls. Besides the Raiders, it would probably house an NFC team beginning in 1998. It is also a possible new home for UCLA.

In the meantime, the Raiders are expected to remain at the Coliseum, hoping that their commitment to L.A. will improve attendance, which has been among the lowest in the league. “We really think we have worked out a proposal that will satisfy Los Angeles and the league,” said Pat Bowlen, owner of the Denver Broncos and member of a special committee that negotiated with Hollywood Park.

Officials in Oakland, meanwhile, are weary from a week of changing emotions.

As recently as last Friday, city fathers were convinced that Davis would accept their lucrative offer and bring his Raiders “home.”

High hopes continued earlier this week when John Madden, broadcaster and former Raider coach, told a Bay area radio audience that he felt Davis would return.

At the time, Davis was wavering after asking Madden’s opinion about the possible revival of Oakland fans.

Since then, however, the lure of directing the only team in the nation’s second-largest market may have overtaken Davis. He has told friends that he has been encouraged by local columns and commentaries urging him to stay.

And perhaps he is finally believing that the new facility will be completed on time, and will offer him one of the three best stadium deals in the league.

Not that Davis still won’t change his mind again. If he does, Los Angeles could be without a team for as many as three years while officials attempt to rework the deal with Hollywood Park to include league-negotiated leases for two teams, with the promise that at least one team would be moved here in 1997.
