Brehs .Tell me this is just a dream.
If the stadium is gonna look like that, I guess I'm going to start saving up now for a trip to LV and front row raider tickets. It'll be a beautiful site to see

Brown signs with the skins looks like we going to have to draft a MLB. Also who heard mark Davis on 95.7 the game?
straight from the horses mouth,libby smiling and saying that land is gonna be worth more without a stadium,i said from the beginning this was all about the land going to high priced homes,condos,townhomes,shopping centers,restaurants for the san fran spill over crowd,they wil probably try and pass this as a housing for low income bill next,where the builders will put up 10% of the units for locals/low income just to get it passed,a way to further make oakland citizens look even more stupid and rent continue to skyrocket outta control forcing many to have to move to another city.

ps how any raiderfan can still try and put this on mark davis?

Our stadium might be shyt but we've always had stronger advantage in the stands because of it, how do we know the fans won't get hosed on tickets for this new stadium? Will we still be the Raiders fo real or in name and logo only? What if the real fans are prices out in favor of rich tourists with no interest in the team or sport? I don't see how we keep our edge as a team/fanbase in Vegas this isn't the LA Raiders playing in South Central this is the Raiders in a glamorous new stadium on the strip where all the ballers at. What if Mark can't get that East Bay contingent to travel? That 650 mil gon have to be covered by the travelling LA fans + any other fans in the boonies around Nevada and beyond. How does that affect the team in the future. I mean this move could work if done right but I'm sure it won't be. Hell, the team might be homeless after next season. shyt just seems rushed and it's obvious Mark had no interest in even working with Oakland. It is what it is, the team is moving to Vegas so I'ma just hope for the best.
Its a happy/sad moment all in one.. Raiders do deserve their very own palace but new stadiums are more for the owners than fans. I remember attending the Fresno St/USC game(the game where Reggie Bush blacked out) at the LA Coliseum.. and this was before their current renovation so it was a total dump. But it was the best game I've ever been to and it was a blast. The Oakland Coliseum is a complete dump but the tickets are cheap, the Bart, freeways, and airport are literally right around the corner from the stadium. I haven't been to a Raider game in years but I hear despite the stadium its still a great football experience. These new stadiums are for the owners so they can make money off the luxury boxes, private clubs, naming rights, selling more merchandise, and PSL's. Its dope that we're finally getting a new stadium but in the end alot of Raider fans will be priced out of the new building once it opens. Same thing with the Rams here in LA

Exactly. At the end of the day this will always be my team but you can't deny the obvious. I don't know if that same spirit can be replicated in the place Mark and the owners have in mind. How do people know that legit fans won't get priced out? I wouldn't even be mad if the Oakland Coli was truly renovated good and the A's got an answer on their own stadium. This Vegas shyt for the money only and fans aren't the ones that benefit.

I feel u bro but at the end of the day the owners have to make money. You see players contracts? D.C and make both about to get crazy paid? Coop and Jackson as well. Mark has to make money to run a compitve team. And I been in the blk hole it's crazy it was a blast I go from l.a to Oakland once twice a year but, I don't by this home field advantage we going to lose this the first year we been over 500 since 2002. I just hope we draft well because Reggie had some easy picks. We all would have taken Mack, Carr, Coop. Only good pick he has mad was Murray and Jackson. Jury still out on joesph, oh wait Mario Edwards if he can stay healthy. But we really need a DT abs MLB in the worse way. Call me crazy, dumb but I have a small feeling Aldon going to be reinstated.

:usure: I remember people being upset cuz we drafted Carr and left Marqise Lee on the board. :skip: I also remember a lot of people in this thread and a few draft "experts" saying we should take Kevin White over Coop. I wanted Leonard Williams and I definitely wasn't alone (Still not completely sold on Coop over Williams, but I'll leave that alone). I'm just saying Reggie deserves some credit for those picks cuz at the time, they weren't as much of a sure thing as some are claiming them to be now. That being said, he better not mess this draft up.

I agree.. Mack and Carr were far from the biggest names in the draft. I knew Carr could do some things only because I'm originally from Fresno and watched him and his brother David play at Fresno State. Heard Mack was a beast but he played at the U of Buffalo. Coop was known cause he played at Alabama which is a national team now
