• A 28-member citizens’ committee formed by Oakland mayor John Houlihan presented a plan to move and improve Exposition Field, near 8th and Fallon, giving the Raiders a place to play in 1962

• The presentation included a plan, already in the works, to move the stadium across the street at a cost of $89,000, and to increase the seating to 20,000 at a cost of an additional $194,000

• The Raiders would pay $45,000 in rent during their two seasons of occupancy

• The committee was scheduled to meet again on the 15th to take up the matter further
