Why did the Los Angeles raiders change to the Oakland Raiders?

Originally, the Al Davis moved the Oakland Raiders to Los Angeles in 1982 for a much larger venue for the team. The team was so popular in Oakland during the 70's and the Oakland Coliseum held at about 46000 to 49000 at the time and was at capacity most of the time. The Raiders moved to Los Angeles on the promise of a much larger state of the art stadium and for a larger market for the team. They played 13 seasons in the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles that held 92000. The stadium was typically half vacant during home games even during their 1983 Super Bowl run. I remember in 1990 when they were in AFC Divisional playoffs at home versus Cincinnati and by Friday night before the game they still had 9000 tickets available for a PLAYOFF GAME!!! Bo Jackson bought the remaining tickets himself told people to come to the game. Starting in the late 80's, they were doing preseason games in Oakland to see how the loyality was Oakland and it was awesome as ever. There was an actual push for them to move to Sacramento. Well, in the end, they never got their new stadium in Los Angeles. The fan support was the same as it was in Oakland except you have 45000 people in a 92000 seat stadium so the crowd was hardly a factor at home games. In the June of 1995, a sudden decision was made that the Raiders were coming back home. The Oakland Coliseum got $200M in renovations in 1996 and now the stadium holds 63000 for football. If you haven't been to a game, you need to go.
