Nfl Sets Plan For Raiders

NFL owners ended two days of meetings with a plan aimed at keeping the Raiders in Los Angeles and providing the team with a new stadium.

Part of the plan approved by the 30 owners calls for the awarding of two Super Bowls, probably in 2000 and 2005, to Los Angeles, contingent on a new $200 million stadium for the Raiders to be built in Hollywood Park.

Under the plan, the Raiders would stay in Los Angeles for the next two years, move into Hollywood Park stadium in 1997, then share the stadium with another team in 1998.

The second team would be an NFC team, either an expansion or existing franchise, commissioner Paul Tagliabue said.

Napoleon Kaufman, the University of Washington running back who was selected 18th in the NFL draft, signed a five-year, $4.875 million deal with the Raiders.

Kaufman, 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, set career records for rushing yardage and all-purpose yardage at Washington and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in 1994.
