Oakland Raiders Football

Raider Nation is ready to embark on a new era with #1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell at quarterback. The former LSU star has already caused a surge in Oakland Raiders ticket sales, and he could be the first step toward getting the team back to the Super Bowl. For a team that sorely needs an offensive spark, Russell and new head coach Lane Kiffin could be the answer for owner Al Davis. Kiffin was behind the amazing offense at USC, and even though receiver Randy Moss is now with the New England Patriots, the Raiders should put more points on the board with Kiffin calling the shots. Remember it was only a few years ago that the Raiders won three straight AFC West titles, and this could be the year that the silver and black return to prominence in the NFL.

Even during the recent losing seasons, Oakland Raiders tickets have been in demand in the San Francisco Bay area. McAfee Coliseum sells out for just about every game, and the “Black Hole” should be rocking this year as the loyal Raiders fans get dressed up for another Sunday afternoon of mayhem. If you want to be there to see the Raiders turn things around, you need to get your Raiders football tickets soon.

It's easy to forget that the Raiders still have a very talented roster and a new coach might be all it takes to get this team on the right track. Al Davis is famous for saying “Just win baby” and for the slogan “Commitment to Excellence,” so you can be sure he won't stand for another losing season. JaMarcus Russell has brought a new optimism and attitude to the team, and his mobility will help open up the passing game. Jerry Porter should enjoy being the top receiver now that Moss is gone, and Dominic Rhodes has the talent to be one of the league's premier running backs. So check out the Oakland Raiders football schedule and get your Raiders tickets before it's too late.
