Go Raiders

One crazy fan!

 I have never been to an NFL game and was really excited. I was a little nervous as well. Raiders fans have a reputation and someone even got shot a couple weeks ago in the parking lot after a preseason game. This was Monday Night Football and they were playing the Chargers (huge in state rivalry). We made sure we had our Raiders gear and rode BART to the coliseum. We found our seats and they were awesome! We were right near the end zone. Even though the Raiders didn't play too great and lost, it was so much fun to be there! The whole atmosphere and everything going on was amazing! I am hoping we can make it a yearly event!

Yum...football hot dog.

Ice Cube was the pregame entertainment.

Gene Simmons (from Kiss) sang the national anthem.

Some men from the air force rolled out this
amazing flag. Amazing!

Jets flew over.

They lit this caldron in honor of Al Davis,
former coach and GM who died last year.

So cool to be so close to the action!

This fan would hold up this sign and
everyone would count to 3 and yell first down
each time the Raiders got a first down.

Huddle.

The Raiderettes. We sat by one of the cheerleaders moms
and learned a lot, it was fun.

Mike and I in our Raiders Gear enjoying
the game. You can see how awesome our
seats were. 

These drummers were so cool. They
came out and played a few times.

This is the crowd in the BART station after the game.
It was crazy, but so much better than trying to park
and to pay $35 to park at the coliseum.
