Since moving to Las Vegas, the Raiders have held their training camps at Intermountain Health Performance Center. However, that could change in 2024.
According to City of Costa Mesa News, the Raiders are currently talking with the city about a one-year agreement to move their training camp to Costa Mesa, and more specifically, the Jack Hammett Sports Complex. The proposal will be discussed by the city council on Tuesday, May 7.
“Costa Mesa is proud to be one of only two cities in the country to host an NFL team’s summer training camp in a publicly owned facility,” city manager Lori Ann Farrell Harrison said. “Jack Hammett is a treasure and we are excited to potentially have a new NFL team training here.”
Per the report, as part of the proposal, the Raiders would pay $165,000 in rent and make other contributions, including:
- $600,000 in improvements to the fields at the complex
- Team Junior Training Camp for kids ages 6 to 12
- 100 tickets for local students to attend an NFL game in Southern California
- Donation of outdoor weight training equipment to Costa Mesa High School
- A New Mobile Recreation Van for programs in underserved areas, and
- A $10,000 donation to a local youth sports team
The deal comes with a commitment from the Raiders to host public practices during training camp, which does not have a confirmed start date yet.
