• As reported by Scotty Stirling in the Tribune, team co-owner Wayne Valley said the Raiders would likely have to relocate if the attendance at Candlestick Park didn’t improve
• Valley said that four different cities, most notably Memphis, had made “solid offers” to entice the team
• The Raiders had sold 4,400 season tickets in 1960, the fifth most among the eight teams in the AFL, but in 1961 they were dead last, with just 3,200 season tickets sold
• Portland, Spokane, and Seattle were also among the cities suggested to have made offers for the team
