I wasn’t the only who noticed the same night the Raiders were facing a critical battle with the division rival Chiefs in Oakland, the news dropped that the Raiders would be breaking ground on their new stadium in three weeks on November 13.
The article was published in the Las Vegas Review Journal exactly an hour after kickoff. I noticed it cross my Twitter timeline and shook my head a little bit. Here I am looking out at a sold out stadium of fans going crazy for their Oakland Raiders who had scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, and I’m reading news about the next step in their commitment to leave those fans.
