If shots were fired in a pre-season conflict, how can anyone think it's a good, safe idea to have the two teams share this stadium?
Sorry, but for a multitude of reasons, NO.

Agreed. They've worked too hard to get this thing built. Being pressured by the commissioner to share it is like a slap in the face.
This new stadium is like sacred ground. The Raiders will just leave behind a losing stench on the field that I want no part of.
Same thing I was telling my wife. Raider fans will just come in and intentionally trash the place. They will tag the joint with graffiti and whatnot. Not a good idea at all. We deserve this new stadium and we don't need to invite trouble. I think this is why we are playing the regular season meet in OAK. I hope we never have them in Levi to play a game on our soil because their fans live too close and they will be sure to trash the joint. Haters!!!

Lots of people fixated on Goodell's Raiders-at-Levi's comments. My reading of it was he was just re-iterating something he's said before.
Experience tells me anything - and I mean anything - about the Raiders sharing 49ers stadium gets spun into something much bigger than it is

Unfortunately i get this, and I'm sure jed will say the right thing in public but I gotta believe he will try to discourage this from happening. You are dead on right though, godell gets what he wants. It was pretty s**tty timing for him to discuss this on ribbon cutting day. The nfl needs to be really careful though because this is a delicate situation been raider and niner fans.

I just watched myself too. I still wished he would have brushed it off alittle more than he did. It has sort taken over the ribbon cutting. Hell, it's a top headline on espn.com.

It doesn't take but a few minutes for someone that already has it on their minds to seriously deface our new digs. I can see Raider fans going en masse with a calculated and organized approach towards trashing the joint. I give them one Sunday and we would regret it!

Use the other stadium for the Raiders.
Finally wouldn't be blacked out.
Exactly.
And also, my God, I can't imagine letting the Raiders into Levi's. Honestly, I could care less about them playing there, and I could care less about 90% of the fans; but a minority of them are going to vandalize the place. They are going to write "49ers suck" on the walls. scratch Raider logo's into the seats etc.
It would be a disaster.
You mean *couldn't care less.
Anyone who is ok with sharing with the Raiders is agreeing to have a "black hole" in the 49ers stadium.
