OC City To Host Las Vegas Raiders During Summer Training Camp

COSTA MESA, CA — The Raiders will be making a return to California, after the City of Costa Mesa approved ongoing discussions with the Las Vegas Raiders to host the team's 2024 Summer Training Camp at the Jack Hammett Sports Complex.

The topic of a one-year agreement between Costa Mesa and the NFL team was discussed at Tuesday's City Council meeting.

"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 told ABC7. "Jack Hammett is a treasure and we are excited to potentially have a new NFL team training here."

The Raiders would pay the city $165,000 in rent as a part of the proposed agreement, along with other community 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 SoCal.
• Donation of outdoor weight training equipment to Costa Mesa High School.
• A new Mobile Recreation Van for programs in underserved areas.
• A $10,000 donation to a local youth sports program.

The Raiders will use the Jack Hammett Sports Complex starting in mid-July, according to the City, and will work with city officials to ensure there are minimal disruptions to the community and neighborhoods around the facility.
