Las Vegas' new Raiders stadium looks wild

Go big or go home in vegas .

 

It looked like a plastic helmet or something last time I drove by it.

 

If I was in charge of the graphics team I'd be working on a way to put a holographic skull "eyes" in the window there.

What did they used to call the hardcore fans in Oakland?
The black hole?

 

Yep. Black hole. Raider Nation, etc.

I might actually get out that way for a game now they've moved. I don't like giving Cali my money if I don't have to.

I've been a Raiders fan since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

Sirscrapntruckalot - Bo knows baseball.

 

I had a Maden game once.
You can make your own team, so I did for the small city I live near.
Then I realized to balance out the league I needed to make 3 other teams. So I tried to pick cities that for whatever reason didn't have an NFL team.

Vegas was the easiest. Why it didn't already have a team I couldn't tell you.

So that "season" the NFL welcomed the Reading Railers, the Vegas Blackjacks, Arkansas Bacon (hog theme), gosh I can't remember the 4th team.

Memphis? Louisville?

Blackjacks had the best colors though, Black & Red. And they made the playoffs!

 

Arkansas was supposed to be a joke team too. They ended up being lovable losers. I came up with all sorts of jokes about them like a fan of a real losing team would come up with.

Such as the fan cheer, "who doesn't love BACON?" And "everything's gonna be all white." (A reference to their all white home team colors. Because I was too lazy in editor to make another variation of white and pink. Yes they were a joke team.)

What happened when the Bacon played the Blackjacks at home?

A pig roast. 0-28

 

Oh yeah! 4th team was Rhode Island!

I think they were called the Captains or the Sailors.
Sky blue, white and Yellow.

Lots of sailboat motifs.

Dang, maybe when I get home I should dig in my closet and try to find that game.

 

I was a Tecmo Bowl/Super Bowl fan. Pre-madden days.

I'd rack up thousand yards plus with Walter Payton. In. one. game.

Now I miss old football.

Thanks a lot @Infosaur!



Sirscrapntruckalot - Would've been a Bacon fan.
