Stadium:
Mcafee Coliseum
The first crowd filled the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on September 8, 1966 when the AFL’s Oakland Raiders played the Kansas City Chiefs. The adjacent arena celebrated its grand opening on November 9, 1966 when the Oakland Seals met the San Diego Gulls for an NHL game. In the following 32 years, the Oakland Alameda County Arena and Coliseum Complex has hosted a spectrum of events in both the sporting and entertainment industries including concerts, circus, boxing, rodeos, religious speakers and ice shows. Audiences numbering nearly 100 million have made McAfee Coliseum and ORACLE Arena the premier entertainment facilities in Northern California. In October 1995, McAfee Coliseum began an extensive renovation. The $120 million project included the addition of 22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, two private clubs and two state-of-the-art scoreboards.

Season Preview:
The good news for Raider Nation is the Oakland Raiders can’t get much worse than their awful 2-14 record from last season. Their horrible performance earned them the first crack at LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, and Oakland was only too happy to snap up the strong-armed pivot. The Raiders made a few other moves on draft day, including adding veteran QB Josh McCown and parting ways with wideout Randy Moss. McCown or Andrew Walter will likely be the starting QB until Russell is ready to display his rocket arm at the pro level. With Moss gone that leaves Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry and Alvis Whitted as the key components of the receiving corps. Washout Mike Williams was also added from Detroit, but don’t expect much from him. The running game was also upgraded with the addition of Dominic Rhodes. He should help carry the load with LaMont Jordan, who was a disappointment last season but could bounce back with a strong year. Oakland’s awful offense scored only 12 touchdowns last season and things don’t look much better this season, at least on paper. On defense, the Raiders surprised many observers after they finished the season No. 3 overall in yards allowed and No. 1 overall versus the pass. The Raiders’ defensive line was very strong behind veterans Derrick Burgess and Warren Sapp, and the secondary is young and could be even better this year. The responsibility to turn things around will fall on new head coach Lane Kiffin. The one-year, return-of-Art-Shell experiment was an unmitigated disaster, but Kiffin should have more time to turn this boat around. Sbrforum.com
