I have 2 seats. My brother and I both used to have seats next to each other, but I took over his seat when he moved to Nebraska. There were two games this past season that I ended up selling the extra seat for $10 to a scalper, since I couldn't get anyone to go with me.

That game is usually filled with " LA Raider " fans. Quite a difference between " Oakland " Raider fans and their counterparts in LA. The season before this past season, my brother and I went to a Raiders game at the Arizona Cardinals. I have NEVER seen so many fights break out at a football game. Just in my section alone, there were probably about 5-10 fights. In the past 7 years, since I've had my season tickets, there has only been one fight in my section of the Oakland Coliseum. I've seen fights in other sections and it is always a big spectical... usually it is because someone has had WAAAAYYYY too much alcohol. It doesn't phase me much. The majority of the people that sit around me are also season ticket holders and we are a big " family " . I got quite tired this past season of having to tell everyone that my brother wasn't there because he had moved to Nebraska. We all stick up for one another. If there is a dispute about someone sitting in someone elses seats, the intruder is told from all angles, who is SUPPOSED to be there.
