The Oakland Raiders is one of the teams I the NFL that people loves to watch.Raiders Tickets sell quickly because football fans enjoy watching the exciting plays of the team. Another reason why there is a growing number of Raiders ticket holders is that the Raiders has one of the best records in the NFL. They won three times in the Super Bowl, four Conference title wins and 15 Division title wins.
The Raiders had a shaky start when they started in t1960. Despite not having the facilities, people still supported the team. The situation changed when Al Davis took over the team in 1963. Within about twenty years since they started, the team have won three Super Bowls, and a number of Conference and Division title wins. Raiders tickets became a commodity with more people wanting to catch the Raiders in action.
In 1966, the Oakland Raiders played against the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFL in their Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The Raiders tickets were scarce because of people wanting to watch every game of the Raiders. The Raiders tickets became even scarcer in October of 1970 when the Raiders played their ever first Monday Night Football game in ABC against the Washington Redskins. Those people fortunate enough to be holding a prized Raiders ticket that night watched how the Raiders overwhelmed the Redskins with a 34-20 win. For the Raiders it was only their introduction to great games. Since then the Raiders tickets for every Monday Night Football game the team played was sold out immediately.
The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum underwent a massive $120 million worth of renovations. They added over 20,000 seats to the coliseum, 90 luxury suites and two private clubs and two of the massive scoreboards. These were done to provide for the creasing number of Raiders ticket holders. Now, the Raiders are playing in the McAfee Coliseum which they consider their home.
The Raiders had a few tough seasons, 2004 being their worst since they started playing. They were involved in the Tuck that stirred a controversy while playing against the Patriots. The Raiders are now improving their offensive to provide the fans a more interesting game. Their offense has been their weaker part. If the Raiders manage to perfect their offensive, they would be more difficult to defeat.
