Report: Raiders want 50,000-seat, $800 million stadium in Oakland - CBSSports.com (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/22774851/report-raiders-want-50000seat-800-million-stadium-in-oakland)

Only 50,000 seats?

If they wore less exotic costumes they'd be able to fit another 30,000.

Still, where are you going to find that many Raider fans willing to watch that crap?

I just wonder if their seating capacity is suppressed due to fan intimidation. They're not going to get many visiting team fans and a lot of people probably do fear for their life in their own team's stadium.

Oakland is one city I'm staying far away from.

Yeah oakland is a place i'll never watch a sporting event

So me and my GF are thinking about going to the Oakland game in Sept. It's pretty easy to get seats, beautiful part of the country and we have friends/family near there. I discussed this issue with her and she seems to think that's it's a non issue. Me on the other hand knows how the Oakland fans are and prefer not to go to the game.

Any of you been to any Oakland games in the past?? It looks like a pretty rough crowd.
