Re: Around the NFL Offseason 2013
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? |

Re: Around the NFL Offseason 2013
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.

I hate statements like that. The money obviously went somewhere. If the money really was lost instead: On disaster, unexpected expenses like say vandalism or lawsuits or lack of fan revenue, who knows... then how can Trask say that a deal that works is possible? ![]() |

Well a lot of people watch the Redskins when they were crap, so I am sure they'll find people.

Re: Around the NFL Offseason 2013
Oakland is no worse and it might be safer than some parts of DC. I like Raiders better than the Forty whiners.

I actually think reducing stadium size as a whole is a good idea. 50K might be too small but the 85K and larger stadiums lend themselves to being flooded by opposing team fans.
