Raiders

The stadium is amazing, because we where early we could see the view from pitch side and the third tier. And I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. 

Usual NFL pomp and ceremony with Carlos Santana playing the national anthem on an electronic guitar while they wrestle with the biggest flag I’ve ever seen. Topped of with a fly past by a hand full of F35s with the strip visible though the massive window at one end of the stadium. 

The fans are passionate to say the least I has some woman shouting down my ear at regular intervals watching a fully grown man in front of us hitting the glass barrier with his hand like a child. 

The Raiders took an early lead into half time and to me looked good for it. Tensions ran high as the Cardinals pulled it back in the second half forcing extra time. After a series of fouls and challenges the Raiders lost..

Despite a few crazies we didn’t see any trouble even walking home in the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen with both fans mixing together. Hardly any police presence outside the stadium as we walked back to the MGM.
