Home opener not sold out?

I can only assume that the Chiefs sell out their games...since there's only Royals baseball to occupy your time.

Oakland is in the fifth largest media market. The larger problem is not its size but rather the big brother to the west (SF) with whom the market is shared.

Kansas City, by contrast, is the number 31 market.

Yankees / BoSox is played out, IMO...

They play each other, what 10 - 12 times a year?

It is just old and boring anymore...

And it just isn't the same when the Yankees are trying to catch up with the Sox...

I don't know why I am going on about this... I really don't like baseball...

they play eachother 19 times a year, and by you saying you dont like baseball
is the reason you say its played out, but that is your opinion, but saying they were the number 1 rival wasnt my opinion, it was a fact given by the espn nationwide votes, which is actually the nations opinion, so its still an opinion i guess lol... ill stop typing now



ok i wont, ill just say this because you dont like baseball kind of takes the validation of your opinion out of the equasion

Every single one of those games is completely sold out as soon as the tickets go on sale, both at Yankee Stadium and Fenway. That's over 800,000 tickets sold, just for the regular season series.

Oakland struggles to sell out its home opener against the Chiefs.

You can't begin to compare the raider/Chief rivalry to Sox/Yankees.

Latest team merchandise sales:
1) Eagles
2)Patriots
3)Steelers
4)Raiders

90% of Raiders merchandise is sold to getto punks and posers who wouldn't know the difference between football and soccer.

Patriots have sold out every game, including preseason for 12 straight years. 55,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets.

The only road games where Raider fans can show up in big numbers are "fair weather fan" places like San Diego, Arizona, Miami, Jacksonville. Almost every other team is sold out with season tickets before the season starts. There were hardly any Raider fans at the season opener at Gillette.

In the 10 years since the Raiders have been back in Oakland, only the Arizona Cardinals have had more home games blacked out. Face it, "Raider Nation" is a myth.

Yeah, nothing to do in New England in late summer/early fall. That's why Boston, the beaches of the Cape, the coast of Maine, the lakes of Maine, the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, are all packed with tourists this time of year.

Oh well, if we can't get Pats' tickets, at least there's the Sox....except for the fact that they've had over 200 straight sellouts as well.
