Raider-less Nation?
There's no question that the Raiders have some of the most dedicated fans. But who's going to fill the other 30,000 seats at McAfee Coliseum? Since the team returned to Oakland from Southern California, 56 of the Raiders' 84 home games have been blacked out locally because they couldn't sell out 72 hours before game time. Not a good sign for for a team that was in Super Bowl XXXVII less than three years ago.
