ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders are on the verge selling out their season tickets for the first time in franchise history, owner Mark Davis said on Sunday afternoon.

The Raiders have signed a one-year lease to remain at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum for the 2016 season and have two one-year options for 2017 and 2018, though the team recently saw its rent tripled before the 50-year-old dual-use stadium lost its naming rights from O.co.
