Friend and sponsor, Zennie Abraham (Sports Business Simulations) surprised me with an offer to go to the Coliseum for my first Oakland Raiders football game yesterday. We had some sweet club seats and got to witness the very first pre-season game, the Raiders vs the 49ers. Of course I have been known to cheer and support the 49ers (shhhh!) but since I do live in the East Bay, it was all about the silver and black, baby!I have to admit, there is something very scary about being dressed in black and mingling with crowds of other people dressed in silver and black. I guess that's the point. Oakland is scary. The fans are scary and the team, yup, scary. I love it!
Leave it to me to notice the Raider (#32) warming up on a stationary bike. I just thought that was cool.
In between halfs, I ran into my USF Sport management cohort-mate, Adam. He is currently interning with the Raiders and I couldn't resist getting a quick photo. Go Adam!
