It's quite simple. It's because they havent had a winning season in 14 years, and were one of if not the worst team in football for the overwhelming majority of that time.....and Raider fans are beating their chests like they just won the Superbowl.

The Warriors are gone, the Raiders will probably be gone and the A's....well, who cares.

I'm not going to lie, I will miss them. It was cool to have two NFL teams in the same market. BUT, football is only so short so I won't miss them that much. It's much better to see two teams in the same area whose games are much longer than 16. A's and Giants, Kings and Warriors, etc...

For the longest time I thought the Raiders jinxed the Bay Area when they came back lol

When they moved to LA: (1982-1995)

Niners 5 Super Bowls
A's 1 World Series

After they came back from '95 to 2010 the Bay had ZERO titles

Niners came under the Yorks
Giants lost in '02
A's mini dynasty (2000-03) flamed out
Raiders themselves lost to TB
Sharks were the Sharks

Thank god for the Giants and W's....and the short JH era I guess

Raiders submitted their official proposal to the state of Nevada today.

http://sntic.org/meeting/16/lvstadium/raiders/SNTIC_Stadium_Presentation_08.25.16.pdf

Place looks pretty cool. No detailed look inside but for the most part it looks great. I hope they get it done. Out of the bay and actually in a cool stadium.

With the Rams moving and the Raiders may be moving, I'm most def. traveling to some football games in the near future.

And if you thought the 49ers games were hot, you will be cooking in that stadium. For Las Vegas it needs to be enclosed.

That stadium looks awesome. I hate the Raiders, but we have a generic cookie cutter stadium and they, if this move goes through, have something distinctive and amazing.

I'm kinda warming up to the idea of the raiders in vegas. But they do need a dome like stadium or else I won't be going there.
