Raider Nation is a proud union of die hard fans that support the silver and black unconditionally. These fans show up on gameday ready to party and are known throughout the league as one of the rowdiest crowds in the NFL. Actually going to a game at Oakland Coliseum is an experience unto itself. Part extreme tailgate, part OzzFest, the parking lot around the stadium is abuzz with activity throughout the day. Raider fans dress up in costume for gameday, so it’s nothing to see zombies, gorillas, and skulls roaming the parking lot and having a beer or two. It’s an atmosphere that’s unlike any other in the National Football League … almost like having Halloween eight weekends of the year. Raider fans are very approachable if you’re wearing silver and black, but if you decide to dress in opponent colors for the game, expect verbal abuse. Raider fans are not at all shy about making visiting fans feel uncomfortable. This crowd is easily the most intimidating crowd you’ll find in any NFL stadium.
The Stadium itself is a fairly average venue. Built as primarily a baseball stadium, the Raiders share Oakland Coliseum with the Oakland A’s. It was converted for football use when owner Al Davis returned the Raiders to Oakland, so it’s really not an ideal pro football venue. The concessions are fair, but the allure of going to a Raider game is not the facility, it’s the people ... the Raider Nation.

I had never heard of this site but gave it a try, i got my confirmation number by the next day and my tickets 2 days after so it was very fast, as for the game NOTHING like being at a Raider game, if your a raider fan then your treated like family , we went to the home opener against S.D , we lost but still had an amazing time. We'll get em at their house & hopefully I'll be there.

From start to finish the Raiders were brining it all the way! We weren't about to take no 49ners! Not our boyz, they were on it all nite long, we were hootin an howling having the best time ever. That why we are the Rhodes Raiders Nation! We are Proud to be that way! We had em at their necks all the way to the end of the game! Man what a blow to lose too, but it was worth every single minute of it! Raiders U Rock!!
