May as well just become a Raider fan![]()
I was raised that if you liked the niners you hated the raiders. I now find that ignorant and stupid. I just want to watch a live football game every now and again and not pay an arm and a leg to do it. My family had season tickets at Candlestick for 10 years and every ticket cost the same no matter where you sat. The average cost was between 35-60 bucks in that time period. Eddie D was making paper other places and it was about winning. Once the Yorks took over it was more about profits than winning until they found out they needed a winning team to get the stadium paid for like they wanted. They made moves to win again (paid Harbaugh), and got a new stadium on the backs of the "faithful". The presentations to potential season tickets holders who shelled out thousands of dollars all revolved around a winning franchise -- classic bait and switch.
Honestly I would much rather be the casual fan and not know how messed up and greedy these owners are.
