Then, cross check those people against the welfare rolls and cut them off the list…….

All while they flash gang signs at me and tell me how tough they are…..HOLMES….

Yeah, ban raider fans. Problem solved. Hey, maybe that way, stadiums can sell beer in the 3rd quarter like they used to, before raider fans ruined that too.

Personally it doesn’t seem to do much at all. Having to submit to a security screening at all is what is causing delays.

Didn’t have to show up 2 hours earlier either.

Notice how this says “RAIDERS suggest fans show up 2 hours early”. Some of those ridiculous costumes they wear are probably all metal and require a longer check

I’ll gladly show up a few hours early to the Black Hole. It’s more a tradition thing. First one there…. last one to leave…. and proud of it.

The media loves to sell that and so its what they show. The other 95% have there favorite players jersey and the regular northern Cali fit on. Jeans, sneakers maybe a white tee. I have seen a few fights in the 70 plus games I have gone to and 99.9% of them where fueled by a couple knuckle heads just like at every other venue. For a bunch of posters who routinely whine about how the media heads of this website report there storys alot of you sure believe the hype.

Why is it Raiders fans are the only ones that always make that remark? Oooh come say that at a Raiders game. I have been a police officer in Oakland, and Los Angeles. Oakland is no tougher than Hollywood I really hate to break it to ya.

They were playing the Raiders. I will never forget what a group of trash was there representing “raider nation”. Probably the worst game I ever went to. I wouldn’t go to a Raiders game if it were free.

Yeah you better get there 2 hours early so you don’t miss the 1st quarter. Palmer will already have thrown 2 pick sixes by the end of the first.

Come to a raider game and say that punk

Uh dude, is that why the Raiders have some of the worst attendance numbers in the whole freakin’ league? A couple of years there where they couldn’t even get above 75% attendance. That’s pathetic. Black Out Central! Of course who would want to see a game in that joke of a stadium.

Metal detectors might have a lot more to do with Oakland being one of the most crime ridden cities in the US.

To say you arent a real fan if you think TV is better than going to the game is the second dumbest thing ive read in these comments. Sunday ticket is 250$, ive seen PRESEASON tickets going for $500+. I can pause, rewind etc., bathroom is close, beer, and food is cheap, couch is more comfortable, and most importantly I can smoke all the reefer I want. I could keep going but you get it… Dont get me wrong, going to a game is a great experience. To say I’m not a real fan because I would rather stay home is stupid.
