    I agree it's a bad look. Especially for a team starting out in a new city.

    Those spots are likely going to sell out quick because its Vegas.

    Yea, you're probably right, it wouldn't surprise me.

    Sure would have been nice to let us "little people" enjoy those areas as well.

    I have a feeling this is probably some collaboration with the casinos where they can pretend theyre giving a high roller a super expensive perk that just isnt

    Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007

    Yeah, its Vegas🤷‍♂️if you've got the dough to blow, a weekend in Vegas with your buddies where you have an all day setup on gameday has to be really enticing. Even better if your favorite football team is on the Raiders home schedule in 2024.

    Some thoughts:

    -If you are dumb enough to go to Vegas on your own accord, you deserve to get scalped like this.
    -people excited about the Raiders in Vegas (the only team with a worse winning percentage over the last 20 years is the woeful Browns) is proof of just how dumb Las Vegans are.
    -the best part about this article is the Raiders have an entire group for 'premium sales' - 'premium' is the last word I would ever use to describe any facet of this franchise.

    I do not have time for ignorant trolls.

    Going to Vegas for recreational purposes doesn't mean your dumb at all, if your smart and take it for what it is then it can be a fun time, obviously if you go thinking your going to hit it big with your life savings then that's a different conversation

    That being said 20k to some people is like 25 cents to most of us, that being said there is zero chance I would ever spend 20k on this stupid tailgating nonsense, even if I wouldn't miss the 20k I wouldn't do it just on principle

    I can see it now at the Vegas blackjack tables.

    Even if they sell them all out, they will not cover anywhere near the $28 million bankruptcy of their head coach & his wife... I planned to see the Vikings there last year & bailed as the season didn't go MN's way. Glad I did...

    Enjoy your collection!

    A Broncos fan site making fun of the Raiders' QB situation is the literal definition of throwing stones in their own glass house. They paid $40 million to Russel Wilson after releasing him. In addition, they are trusting the offense to either a rookie (Nix) or Stidham (a guy with less than 200 career passing attempts).

    Good points but I'd still say the Broncos are in a better situation plus are the Raiders on the hook for Jimmy G money as well?
