Does the Raiders' move to LV help the Niners? | Page 3

lbc49er · 2017-03-28T02:56:20-07:00

I'm wondering if the LV Raiders is a good thing for the 49ers. I grew up in Oakland but am a Niner fan because the Raiders were in LA. Only really bitter fans will switch today but could a new generation of Northern California fans be in the works?

It'll help when Cohn and Kawakami follow them to be their beat writers

Doesn't matter if they move or stay! 2-14 you'll see real fans talking smack to each other...14-2 you'll see the real fans and bandwagon fans come together!!! Lol

I think when you have the whole Bay to yourself, it helps the attendance.

Interestingly most Raiders fans I know are staying fans after the move. I only know one dude who is giving up his fandom. Very different from when the Chargers moved and most of my friends in San Diego dumped them.

I actually think the Raiders being in LV is good ... in particular, the AFC West

00:41 flight from LAX > VGT ... 3 hour drive time
01:48 LAX > DEN ...
LAX > MCI (Kansas City)

Yes, it will allow the local sports media to devote its loving attention fully to the Niners.

So will winning ... which you are surely aware of

I voted: "Yes, but only in the future"
JT the Brick, and Matt Maiocco, were just discussing this aspect of the move on 95.7 The Game

I'm in agreement with MM ... in that, it will take at least a decade IMO, before we'll see the demographic
switch, on a scale which is quite noticeable.
