Now most stadiums row 12 costs you a first born child. "Not too shabby" we smugly thought to ourselves as we made the game day purchase on. Once scanned, patted down and frowned at by a phalanx of guards, we walked inside and ambled down to our seats that were pretty darn good despite the fact that we spent only $50 to sit in row 12. It was more like a "there is a 50-50 chance you are packing a weapon and we are going to take it away" type screening. And it wasn’t one of those "some state bylaw forces us to do this" type procedure either. To keep those hearty souls that dare to visit safe, they make you go through metal detectors and a pat down just to enter the stadium. Oakland is one of the minority of NFL teams that don’t sell out every night, despite being across the bay from San Francisco and its immense tourism industry. It would seem that the people running the O.co stadium understand this too. There is only one way to tell and that is to get to steppin’ and go to the game against the Broncos." Perhaps it has all been blown out of proportion. "Certainly there are police there and security folks and nice families with children present. "But really how bad can it be" we figured. It also may be causing some members of the Raider Nation who have never been to a game to stay away from Oakland as well."

"Oakland Raiders fans are the fourth worst fans in American Sports according to GQ Magazine. But even we have heard about the circus that is a Raiders game and the posse of toughs that call themselves Raiders Nation. We can’t name more than a handful of NFL players currently in the league. We don’t play fantasy football, we don’t bet on games. By no means are we the biggest fan of the NFL.
