[Hawaii_Guy]

See I know a lot of people hate going to Oakland but come on where else do we walk through the door and have a 9-3 recard since Mike has been here? It is a relaxing game we should get a win, tickets are cheap and the fans are fun to laugh at. In the past 3 seasons they have even been more respectfull then KC. So who all is down for a win?

I am all for a win Hawaii but when you had a gun pulled on you at a Faider game, getting up the nerve to go again isnt really fun. Maybe some day when there are at least 30 of us sitting together, I will go for it. Power in numbers. I love football and especially live football. I just dont want to give my life for it.

Wow, I was thinking about going there on Dec. 2 but my friend who lives in Oakland told me to stay away for the exact reason. This is what he said to me when I thought about it. "...I would love to see you up here but I would stongly advise you not to go to the Broncos game in Oakland. Raider fans are really tough on folks cheering for their opponents, especially the Broncos and Chiefs (their two most heated rivalrys.) "

[Los Broncos]

My buddy wants to go bad, he would bring a few friends.

Id be a little nervous going, ive heard stories, kinda scary.

I can handle myself, but why put yourself in that situation?

I remember seeing a sign on TV last year when the Broncos visited the Raiders. It said, "$200 for a ticket, $179 for roundtrip airfare, $20 for food and beer, a Bronco Fan staying alive in Oakland, PRICELESS".

Here are the Raider fans and the Raider lady who sat behind me on Sunday. I am sure glad that I made it out alive from my section.

Maybe there is a suite for rent through the raiders.com where we can cheer and be safe behind some windows/glass. But I would figure tailgatting would suck big time.

I agree John, we need a box suite where we can cheer without them hearing us. You can count me in if there is a box suite for rent. Just need to get another 15 people so that we can all escort each other to the arena, to the bathroom and out of the arena.

Tailgating would suck but we can always do it outside of Oakland....

Heck ya! We need to put Orange right in the smack middle. I looked at stubhub.com for suite tickets but there were none. E-mailed a sales rep at the Raiders office to see if there are any suites available for the game on Dec. 2....

I emailed a sales guy in Oakland also with questions like price on suites. Seems they have some up to 24 people. I will be waiting for their response. Here is what I got from their website. Check the one on the bottom. I think it is the priority for visiting fans. This might work. I believe a separate parking lot for all suite holders. Maybe you can tailgate there too. You get three parking passes (or maybe one big orange bus....HMMM). BTW: You are nuts if you want to put orange in the middle of a huge black hole. Have you heard "circling the wagons"?
Well, here it is......

Good thing sitting behind the Broncos players is if something happens, I am sure John Lynch will come to your rescue.

Private bathroom in a suite.... We won't even have to step outside and get death threats while we go to the bathroom.

Sounds good John, I inquired about the 12 person suite just in case some folks are afraid of heading up to Oaktown. Hopefully the prices are reasonable and not outrageous. We need Meck to bring OF1 into Oaktown, put bullet proof glass, reinforce the body with extra steel and have Raidersuck guard the roof.

[Hawaii_Guy]

I swear I have been there 4 times and it is not even 1/2 as bad as KC. if you are not picking a fight with someone they for the most part leave you alone. My wife and I are going with 4 other people if anyone is going to be interested in getting a row of Bronco fans, let me know.

It was nice knowing you STG. I have two kids and wife. I cannot put my life on the line for a football game. "Circling the Wagons" is us frontiersmen getting surrounded by Indians. Just replace Bronco fan with frontiersmen and Indians would be replaced by Faider Drunk fan. I havent heard back from the guy yet but he emailed and told me to give him my number. If I do this, it would be morning up there on Jet Blue and back that night. Easy in, survive, then easy out? I also emailed a broncos fan that goes up there every year and stays in a suite. I will see what he says.

[broncocalijohn]

I just talked to the guy and he will email info over today. Suites are pretty expensive which comes to $263 to $313 a ticket. Next option is club level for AROUND $126 to $151 a ticket but must be bought privately (stub hub, etc) to get a group. Last option is group tickets and they have some around goal line to 5 yard line for $76 each. Individual tickets go on sale for this game at the end of the month and I dont know if they will keep a block of tickets after that for group tickets. $76 seems like a great price compared to Denver and of course San Deigo. Safety in numbers. Minimum is 20 people but 50 seems to be more secure! Of course getting that many is going to be tough. Also, tailgatting is on the open market. That is where it could get nutso. I am sure tailgatting near Spike would give us respect as they come out and tailgate with Barrelman and Hat Man Jay. Who knows. Maybe getting an interest list would be needed here. Include Faider fans as we need as many as possible to make group. Friendly Faider fans a plus.

[smalltowngrll]

Yeah, you can pretty much count me out of this one! I'd love to go since it's not too far for me, but since I'm trying for the Monday nighter on the week of Thanksgiving and the Birthday game on the 9th, this would be right in the middle and would make funds a little tight! Especially if I'm planning on attending our playoff games in January!!!

[Los Broncos]

Nearest first aid?

Your a funny dude John
