Oakland

We finally got back to another game this year. We went to the Monday night home opener in September. We spent Friday night in Reno, and drove into Oakland on Saturday.

 Shane had the opportunity to meet a few old school players like Greg Townsend, and Willie Brown.

On Sunday we signed up for the Raider Mecca, and a tour of the training facility.  

First they made a stop at the resting spot of Al Davis.

Next we headed over to the facility. We saw the locker room, the weight room, and the practice field.

We also learned they have a grass field they practice on and a astro turf.

We than got a media session with two people from headquarters. It was cool, you could ask any question and they would answer it. We also got up close the the Super Bowl trophies.

Such a cool thing to experience.

We of course got to meet the rookie, and get some more autographs.

Sunday night we headed over to the Raider rally. The "super fans" were all there, and Hazmat Boyz put on a short concert.

Monday was game. Everyone ready to head over to the coliseum.

Enjoying the day.

So much fun, tailgating with great people. Ice Cube put on a concert prior to the game starting (we got there in time for the last two songs since Shane got lost in the parking lot). And Gene Simmons from Kiss did the National Anthem.

The game itself was not great. But the trip overall was amazing!

We lost to the Chargers 22-14.
