Blackouts in the Oakland Colosseum?

Im sure all of the blackouts for the Raiders Homegames are infuriating... I know if the Chiefs games were blackedout, i'd be pissed.

How many seats are in teh Colosseum? And have they thought of reducing the amount of seats there? Make the concourses wider, and give more spaces between seats, so that you guys can watch your games...

Is there any potential solutions for this crappy situation for you guys?

Why was this moved to the Smack Forum???? It is an honest question and deserves to be looked at...

I dunno, it wasn't my doing. the county of Alameda and the city of Oakland screwed us with huge surcharges and poor marketing. It's been this way since 95' when we came back to Oakland. So next season they are re-organizing the PSL deal and the OFMA. I hope this helps our situation. Also, the NFL's 72hr rule is like 20 years old and needs to be modified. I could see back then, it was hard for TV stations to make changes in 72 hrs, but now day, the games are covered regardless, but blacked out in the local networks. All they have to do is flip a switch. They should make the blackout rule a 24hr rule and do away with the 72hr rule. ****, that's all the NFL's doing. The TV networks are losing money on this deal. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if the NFL did away with it. I hope next season this issue is dead. Hell, Raider games usually sell out or come really damn close to it, before game time...

Yeah, right. Look it up chi3fs, Missouri is the 16th fattest state in the nation. And, just in case you are from Kansas, it ranks 22nd. California is 31. Now go get that wife of yours another slab of ribs, Skippy.

That is the angle he is taking. I don't think this is the first time one of these chief fans has stated that we our fans are fat. C'mon, get imaginative with your smack.

wow. it got moved huh? interesting... I wasnt making fat comments, seems like a mod may be a bit self conscious or something.

Im saying if you cant fill the stadium, as is... take out seats and maybe put more space in between seats so that there are less seats to fill, so that you wont be blacked out.

Amazing... an opposing fan comes in here being civil, and you act like it is smack. Piss on you, you deserve the blackouts... enjoy Raider Radio.

Why in gods name do you have a picture of a super bowl ring, you more than likely never even saw them play in a super bowl...

Damn I hate chief fans..

Good take, hopefully it will work out for you guys... I know, as an NFL fan, its important to be able to see your team... if there is no coverage, how are new fans acquired? Seems like the more blackouts you have... the more blackouts you WILL have.

Arrowhead has 80K seats, doesnt the colloseum have lik 100K? or some ****? That would be hard for most teams to fill... which is why the seats should be reduced.

[sarcasm]And you do need larger seats for fat ass mods who move legitimate threads because in their mind, I called Raider fans fat... [which wasnt the case, heh.] Hey Mod, get up from your computer and move around a bit... You still want to be able to fit into your Warren Sapp game used jersey, right? [/sarcasm]

sweet, you will all get to see our new toys. Our defense is swarming and aggressive. Moss will get his, fo'sho... Porter will get a couple also, but you will have NO running game at all...

Collins will get sacked at least 3 times... prolly throw 2 INTs... and we will recover a couple fumbles. Should be fun... plus you guys get to see your only home game this year. Sweet.
