There’s much more to do in Oakland than there is in Green Bay, especially if you’re a criminal. The Broncos are working on about 240 straight home sellouts and their fans don’t define team pride as a willingness to wear embarrassing costumes in public.

tell that to the Orange Darth Vader I see seated in the stands for Broncos home games.

Let them move back to LA. They have already cost me enough. And if they take 80% of Oakland’s population with them, I then would be willing to fork out some funds.

Good Ridence!

The people who say “you get robbed at Raider games” Obviously never been to a Raider game.
Ive been to every NFL teams stadium in the NFL.
Raiders have the best one for kids, They have a whole kidz zone! Its by far the most family friendy stadium in the NFL and I guess I got lucky cause I never been robbed..
I would bet my house that the people who say this are 40-50 years old and they are fat.. It seems like only fat slobs say this.. What a 50 year old fat slob is writing comments on the internet is a whole another story.
I gaurenteed that the person who wrote that does not have a job and he is fat…
Fans of other teams have always been jealous they don’t have a family bond that Raider fans do.. We are global. I live in New England and I know that PATS fans just simply don’t exist. Beofre they won a superbowl they were all Cowboys fans. I never seen 1 guy with a scot Zolak Jersye..

That’s how much the county of Alameda has been paying the Raiders each year since they came back as a subsidy. Each season.

Hope it’s all been worth it.

I wasn’t trying to make everyone laugh. Seriously, what is there to do in Green Bay, Wisconsin besides watch football? I’m not ragging on the team, we all know they’re the team to beat. The reason they can sell out is because there’s not much to do but support your local team!

I was there. Some other related truths are that the coliseum routinely sold out on game day back in the first few years, but too late to be called a non blackout. No one had a bigger walk up than the Raiders and that was because of having to start over with season ticket sales when they came home from the 13 year road trip to LA. Not many fan bases could support what they did in moving. And as he mentioned, OFMA was a world class failure.

As a Bengals fan, I am rooting for the Raiders and against the Broncos. We need you to get in and then win a Playoff game so we can get that first round pick next year. Plus, if you happen to beat the Steelers that’s a bonus!

………………………………………………………………………..
You must not follow football or you just dont know..why a Bengals fan wants oakland to win for a draft pick is dumb..Do you realize that if oakland wins and Bengals lose we take your wildcard. A rookie from college for a playoff spot?? OKAY

At least this “no nothing” Raider fan can spell “know-nothing” and understands the value of using the “-” key when trying to be witty. Is it more difficult to use proper grammar when your fingers are fatter than the cheese-stuffed sausage hanging out of your mouth?

Raiders fans suck. One of the smallest stadiums in the league and this is the first year they’ve been able to sell out all their games? pathetic

——————————–

Spoken like a true idiot king of nothing.

Now that I’ve addressed the pathetic wind bag troll, I’ll point this out.

The Raiders have one of the largest fan bases in sports, and what most don’t realize, is the majority of them live outside their market area. The Raider Nation is world wide, and more dedicated than most. We are not some tiny little fan base that only exist in small pockets of the country. I live on the East Coast, and where I live deep in Redskin country, the Raiders are well represented. Everywhere I’ve traveled, I’ve met Raiders fans in droves. To claim we “suck” is to do so out of ignorance and pathetic hatred. Being a Raider fan is like being part of a huge family united under one flag.

Also, I have to question this sell out claim. The year they last won the AFC title, every single game was packed to the rafters. You can’t tell me every game wasn’t sold out that season. I could be wrong, as I viewed the games from afar, but they damn sure looked sold out.
