sullim4 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I think they would have been better off playing at Sam Boyd Field than sticking around the Bay Area. Lame duck seasons rarely go well - the AFC West games (sans the Chargers) will sell out with opposing fans occupying most seats. Their home schedule is brutal this year - games against Detroit, Cincinnati, and Jacksonville will sell terribly. Add the Chargers to the mix too. Even the great Russ Brandon wouldn't be able to sell tickets to those games. For whatever reason, I didn't realize that the Raiders will be hosting Buffalo in Vegas in 2020.

I know there's a territorial rights thing in baseball that allowed the Giants to stop the A's plan to move to San Jose. Doesn't the NFL have something similar? What's to stop a team from moving to "Oracle" permanently when the Raiders move to Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 They should’ve done like the Chargers and played in the new brand new San Jose soccer stadium. Put Seats in the open end zone, and boost the capacity a bit. Much better than playing on dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but the Raiders and archetypal ‘Raider Fan’ will win the post game rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) So the mayor of SF said they should stay in oakland. Said playing at oricle isnt an option. The 49ers dont want them in their territory but are ok with them playing at levis stadium. Makes sense...

Not going to play there They should definitely try and get that first awkward year out of the way and just go play somewhere in Nevada. Maybe Sam Boyd or some college football stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Joshin' Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The clock is ticking for schedule creation, ticket sales, etc.. This is a disaster in the making for the NFL and has not gotten a lot of attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
