Oakland Raiders Tickets

The Oakland Raiders are poised to return to the form that took them to the Super bowl in 2002. Never mind the loss of aging wide receiver Tim Brown, the Raiders still have Joey Porter and the best receiver to play the game, Jerry Rice. Rich Gannon hopes to find Jerry underneath, and Joey over the top on his way back into the MVP Race. To help Gannon out, the Raiders drafted Robert Gallery for their offensive line. Dubbed as the best thing since Orlando Pace, he has the size, smarts, athleticism and leadership to make a fine transition to the NFL. As an insurance policy the Raiders acquired Kerry Collins in the off-season from the New York Giants. When consistent, Collins is one of the most accurate passers in the NFL.

The Biggest addition in the off-season was the acquisition of Warren Sapp (no pun intended). Sapp is one of the best interior run stoppers in the league and a formidable pass-rusher as well. Dont let his portly size fool you; Sapp is also one of the most athletic linemen in the NFL, a point proved by his performance in the perennial pro-bowl lineman challenge. Rounding out the defense is Charles Woodson, one of the best shutdown corners in the game. Woodson can press receivers at the line of scrimmage while staying step-for-step in deep coverage, helping the pass-rush create sacks.

Network Associates Coliseum - Oakland, CA

The Network Associates Coliseum has been home to the Raiders for 20 years. The natural grass-playing surface is a favorite for players, and its obvious that the Raiders have a unique home field advantage when playing at Network Associates Coliseumthe Black Hole. Only a sprinkle in a 63,000-seat stadium, the Black Hole houses some of the most hard-core fans in the country. Arriving at games with their signature spiked shoulder pads and painted faces, its no wonder opposing teams get sucked into the Black Holes rowdy taunts. Oakland Raiders ticket holders have much to be exited about in 2004, which is sure to sell out every game.
