The team and the city of Oakland resolved their dispute over the construction of Frank Youell Field, with the team agreeing to pay for the building of a press box and the city withdrawing its request for the team to sign a performance bond guaranteeing two years of stadium occupancy. Work on the stadium was scheduled to resume on the 26th. Responding to oft-recurring rumors that the team would move out of Oakland, owner Ed McGah acknowledged that the team would lose over $700,000 over the next two seasons but that it “would be unrealistic to think we would move then that big new coliseum is in sight.”

The team traded quarterback Hunter Enis to the Broncos for linebacker Jackie Simpson and a player to be named later.
