How likely is every NFL stadium to host WrestleMania? An investigation
With the announcements of WrestleManias 37, 38, and 39, some users were critical of WWE selecting the same venues every year. Every WrestleMania since 23, with the exception of three in Orlando (two at the Citrus Bowl/Camping World Stadium and one at the Performance Center due to COVID-19), has been held at an NFL stadium. As something of an NFL stadium expert, I decided to examine each NFL stadium's likelihood of hosting a future WrestleMania. Please note that some stadiums are located just outside of the city limits listed, but I listed the major city most associated with it (so for instance, while AT&T Stadium is technically in Arlington, it hosts the Dallas Cowboys, so I listed Arlington.) I'm also giving WWE a significant benefit of the doubt and assuming they'd be interested in hosting a Mania outside of their usual go-tos.
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV - Stadium Profile: A $1.9 billion stadium opened in 2020 to house the newly-moved Las Vegas Raiders. Starting in 2021, it will host the Pro Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, and the Pac-12 Championship Game. As of yet, it has not hosted any fans. It has a capacity of 65,000.
- City Profile: Las Vegas is the 28th biggest metro area in the US. Las Vegas previously hosted WrestleMania IX in a temporary arena built at Caesars Palace, and the recently-built T-Mobile Arena hosted 2016 Money in the Bank and 2018 Elimination Chamber.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Very high. I'm honestly surprised it didn't host one of the next three Manias given its attractive location and massive new stadium. I suspect it will host one very soon in the future.
Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO - Stadium Profile: Arrowhead is the third-oldest stadium in the NFL, having been built in 1972. It had a renovation completed in 2010 and seats 76,416. It's known for its incredibly-loud fans, as they currently hold the world record for loudest crowd at 142.2 decibels.
- City Profile: Kansas City is the 31st biggest metro area in the US. Kansas City has hosted four PPVs, most notably 1999 Over the Edge with the death of Owen Hart and most recently 2010 Money in the Bank.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. Arrowhead's age and Kansas City being a smaller market (and not an attractive vacation destination) mean that Missouri won't be hosting WrestleMania any time soon.
AT&T Stadium, Dallas, TX - Stadium Profile: "Jerryworld", a pioneer in the billion-dollar stadium craze, opened in 2009 with a listed capacity of 80,000, though it can hold up to 100,000 for special events like WrestleMania and the Super Bowl, which it hosted in 2011. It also hosts the annual Cotton Bowl game.
- City Profile: Dallas is the 4th largest metro area in the US. Dallas hosted WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium and most recently hosted 2017 Great Balls of Fire.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Confirmed, as it will host WrestleMania 38 next year. I suspect this will not be the last.
Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC - Stadium Profile: A largely no-frills stadium, Bank of America Stadium was built in 1996 and has a seating capacity of 75,523. In addition to hosting the Charlotte Panthers, it will host Charlotte FC starting in 2022 and has hosted an NCAA bowl game since 2002 and the ACC Championship Game most years since 2010. Though it was renovated in 2017 (and soccer renovations are currently underway), Panthers ownership has expressed a desire for a new stadium.
- City Profile: Charlotte is the 22nd biggest metro area in the US. Nearby Charlotte Coliseum hosted 2019 Clash of Champions, its first PPV in 13 years, and nearby Greensboro has been considered one of wrestling's hotbeds.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Low. If memory serves, Charlotte was floated as a potential Mania site, but unless they get a new stadium I don't see this nearly as likely as more attractive Southeast locations like Atlanta or Florida.
Bills Stadium, Buffalo, NY - Stadium Profile: The NFL's fourth-oldest stadium, the former Ralph Wilson Stadium houses 71,608. It was the site of the first NHL Winter Classic in 2008 as the Buffalo Sabres hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins.
- City Profile: Buffalo is the 49th biggest metro area in the US. The last PPV Buffalo hosted was 2013 Battleground.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. With many bigger cities nearby and an aging stadium, Buffalo will never host a WrestleMania. Sorry, Bills Mafia.
Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, CO - Stadium Profile: Replacing the historic-but-aging Mile High Stadium in 2001, Empower Field seats 76,125. Notably, 84,000 were in attendance on the last night of the 2008 Democratic National Convention for Barack Obama's acceptance speech.
- City Profile: Denver is the 19th biggest metro area in the US. The nearby Pepsi Center has only hosted one PPV - 2003 Vengeance.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. Denver's high altitude doesn't do it any favors, but WWE has been hesitant to run Denver in the past and I suspect with shinier stadiums out West, it will not do so here.
FedExField, Washington, DC (stadium located in Landover, MD)
- Stadium Profile: Once the NFL's largest stadium, FedExField opened in 1997 and currently has a capacity of 82,000. Many upper-level seats were blockaded off in 2011. Even in 2007, Sports Illustrated rated it fourth-lowest in "NFL Fan Value Experience".
- City Profile: Washington is the 6th biggest metro area in the US. Capital One Arena hosted 2005 SummerSlam, 2009 Survivor Series, and most recently 2016 Battleground, but also hosted the inaugural episode of AEW Dynamite.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. A DC 'Mania might sound attractive, but FedExField's unpopularity will keep it off WWE's list. Nationals Park could be an option if WWE chooses to downsize.
FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, OH - Stadium Profile: Sitting on Lake Erie's shore, the "Factory of Sadness" opened in 1999 to host the second incarnation of the Cleveland Browns. It has a capacity of 67,431.
- City Profile: Cleveland is the 34th biggest metro area in the US. It hosted Fastlane in both 2016 and 2019 and also hosted SummerSlam in 1996.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. I'm cold just thinking about late March in Cleveland.
Ford Field, Detroit, MI - Stadium Profile: Built in 2002 as a downtown replacement to the Pontiac Silverdome, Ford Field seats 65,000. It's hosted a bowl game every year since its opening and also hosted Super Bowl XL.
- City Profile: Detroit is the 14th biggest metro area in the US. The Pontiac Silverdome was the site of perhaps the most famous WrestleMania (III), and Ford Field hosted WrestleMania 23 twenty years later. Detroit has also hosted several PPVs, most recently 2017 Hell in a Cell.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Low. Though WWE has run WrestleMania in Detroit twice in the past, that it has not done so in nearly 20 years seems to indicate it's looking at newer stadiums and more attractive locations.
Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA - Stadium Profile: Wedged between Boston and Providence, Gillette Stadium was built in 2002 as a replacement to the aging Foxboro Stadium. It seats 65,878 and hosts the New England Patriots as well as the MLS's New England Revolution.
- City Profile: Boston is the 11th largest metro area in the US. The FleetCenter, now TD Garden, hosted WrestleMania XIV and has hosted several other Big 4 PPVs. It last hosted 2017 Clash of Champions.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. An indoor Boston stadium might be more attractive, but the cold weather serves as a major detriment, especially with NYC nearby.
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, FL - Stadium Profile: Opened in 1987, the stadium with 11 different names seats 65,326. It's home to the Miami Dolphins, University of Miami football team, and the Orange Bowl game and formerly housed the Florida Marlins baseball team. Amid deterioration, it underwent a massive overhaul in 2015.
- City Profile: Miami has hosted 6 Super Bowls, 5 College Football National Championships, and WrestleMania XXVIII with Miami native The Rock headlining. However, its last PPV was 2013 Hell in a Cell.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Medium. The new stadium overhaul has made it an attractive location for other high-profile events, but WWE seems to have other Florida venues in mind. Perhaps they'll be back to Miami in the coming years.
Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA - Stadium Profile: Opened in 2001 along with next-door PNC Park as a replacement to Three Rivers Stadium, Heinz Field seats 68,400. Its open south end has made it one of the toughest places for kickers. It's also hosted two NHL games: the 2011 Winter Classic and 2017 Stadium Series.
- City Profile: Pittsburgh is the 27th largest metro area in the US. It was home to perhaps the most famous match in WWE history, Undertaker vs. Mankind's Hell in a Cell match in 1998. It also hosted the 2014 Royal Rumble and most recently 2018 Extreme Rules.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. As much as I'd love to see a WrestleMania in my home city of Pittsburgh, it's not exactly the biggest destination city in the world, and WWE seems to have shunned Pittsburgh from high-profile events after several negative crowd responses.
Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI - Stadium Profile: The NFL's second-oldest stadium, Lambeau Field - named after Packer great Curly Lambeau - opened in 1957. Though single-bowled for most of its life, it added an upper deck at the south endzone in 2013. Most of its 81,441 seats are bleachers.
- City Profile: Green Bay is the 158th biggest metro area in the US. It has never hosted a PPV, though Milwaukee has hosted several, most recently 2017 Fastlane.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. Maybe negative.
Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA - Stadium Profile: Home to the San Francisco 49ers (though San Francisco is about an hour drive north), Levi's Stadium opened in 2014 and holds 68,500. Its large glass press box has led to criticism for making the stadium too bright and hot during the daytime. Levi's hosted Super Bowl 50, WrestleMania 31, and the 2015 NHL Stadium Series.
- City Profile: San Francisco is the 12th biggest metro area in the US, and San Jose is the 35th biggest metro area in the US. San Francisco has never hosted a PPV (likely to change in the coming years with the opening of the Chase Center). San Jose hosted the 1998 Royal Rumble, 2001 SummerSlam, and most recently 2018 TLC.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Very low. With the opening of SoFi Stadium ensuring multiple WrestleManias in California in the coming decades, accompanied with poor reception to the stadium and to The Undertaker having to make a daytime entrance, WWE probably won't be back to Levi's.
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA - Stadium Profile: Opened in 2003, "The Linc" sits in Philadelphia's famed Philadelphia Sports Complex in the same location as classic venues Veterans Stadium and The Spectrum. Lincoln Financial Field seats 69,796, and in addition to the Philadelphia Eagles and Temple Owls is the usual host of the Army-Navy Game.
- City Profile: Philadelphia is the 8th biggest metro area in the US. Perhaps wrestling's most notorious crowd thanks in part to it being the home of ECW, Philadelphia has hosted a number of high-profile events over the years including WrestleMania XV, the 2015 and 2018 Royal Rumbles, and most recently 2019 Extreme Rules.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Low to medium. Philadelphia has been floated as a WrestleMania city before, and though it's not the best climate in early spring, you'd have to imagine a WrestleMania crowd in a normally-raucous city would be a sight (and sound) to behold.
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN - Stadium Profile: Indy sure does love its indoor stadiums. After the Colts moved into the Hoosier Dome (later RCA Dome) in 1984, they opened the retractable-roof Lucas Oil in 2008 with a capacity of 67,000. It's also the host of the Big Ten Championship Game, Super Bowl XLVI, and given Indy's status as a college basketball hub, will host at minimum two Final Fours in the future (2021 and 2026).
- City Profile: Indianapolis is the 33rd biggest metro area in the US. The Hoosier Dome hosted WrestleMania VIII in 1992 and has since hosted a SummerSlam, a Survivor Series, and most recently 2016 Clash of Champions. It's also known to wrestling fans as the city where The Shield was formed in 2012 and where they broke up in 2014.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Low. While a beautiful stadium, Lucas Oil hasn't brought in as many events as Indianapolis surely hoped, in part due to its small market.
Lumen Field, Seattle, WA - Stadium Profile: Built in 2002 as a replacement to the literally-crumbling Kingdome, the former Qwest and CenturyLink Field holds a nice 69,000. Known for its triangular end zone stand and loud fans known as the "12th Man", it houses the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders.
- City Profile: Seattle is the 15th largest metro area in the US. Next-door Safeco Field, home to the Mariners, hosted WrestleMania XIX in 2003, and KeyArena has only hosted two PPVs (most recently 2011 Over the Limit), though a major overhaul to the venue will likely change this once WWE resumes touring.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Very low. Safeco Field was WWE's venue of choice in 2003, and while it could be an attractive Rumble target in the coming years, I suspect Lumen won't be on their list.
M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD - Stadium Profile: Home to the Baltimore Ravens, it opened in 1998 with a capacity of 71,008. Its most notable feature is its jumbotrons sandwiched between its upper and lower bowls. It's also hosted several Army-Navy games.
- City Profile: Baltimore is the 21st largest metro area in the US. Baltimore has hosted several PPVs, most recently 2017 Extreme Rules.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. Though Royal Farms Arena is a common stop on WWE's touring schedule, M&T Bank is surely way low on the list of potential WrestleMania stadiums as it hasn't even been seriously considered in years past.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA - Stadium Profile: Jokingly nicknamed "Megatron" due to its distinctly-shaped exterior and retractable roof, Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened in 2017 at a cost of $1.6 billion and seats 71,000. It hosts the Falcons, Atlanta United, the Peach Bowl, Super Bowl LII, and will surely host more Super Bowls and NCAA championships (both football and basketball).
- City Profile: Atlanta is the 9th biggest metro area in the US and is also home to the world's busiest airport. Atlanta was the host of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The now-demolished Georgia Dome hosted WrestleMania XXVII, and Phillips Arena most recently hosted 2015 Survivor Series.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Extremely high. The only thing I see as a detraction is WWE being petty about TNT getting back in the wrestling business. Otherwise, this massive, futuristic stadium would be a perfect WrestleMania host.
Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA - Stadium Profile: One of the most famous stadiums in sports, the Superdome (brother) opened in 1975, though it is currently undergoing a massive renovation. It seats 73,208 and has hosted seven Super Bowls (scheduled for #8 in 2025), two WrestleManias, five Final Fours, and is the annual home of the Sugar Bowl.
- City Profile: New Orleans is the 45th biggest metro area in the US, though it's become a cultural hub. WrestleMania 34 was the last PPV hosted in the city.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: High. WWE has hosted here twice before, and a massive renovation will continue to make it an attractive target.
MetLife Stadium, New York, NY (located in East Rutherford, NJ)
- Stadium Profile: Located across the river from the heart of New York City, MetLife Stadium opened in 2010 as home of both the Giants and Jets and seats 82,500. Its price tag of $1.6 billion made it at the time the most expensive stadium in the US. It's hosted two WrestleManias (29 and 35) and is the only open-air northern city to host the Super Bowl.
- City Profile: What else is there to say about New York? It's the largest metro area by far, it's a massive cultural hub, and in wrestling context has hosted many of wrestling's most memorable events including six WrestleManias.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Medium to high. NYC always has to be on the list when hosting large events, and given WWE has been to MetLife twice, you'd have to think they're willing to go again. The massive downside is the intense difficulty some fans had with leaving the stadium, although that's something that can be remedied with a little better planning.
Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN - Stadium Profile: Opened in 1999 to house the newly-christened Tennessee Titans, Nissan Stadium seats 69,143 and is also host to the annual Music City Bowl. It will be the centerpiece of a Nashville street circuit coming to the IndyCar calendar in 2021.
- City Profile: Nashville is the 36th largest metro area in the US. Nashville last hosted 2014 Night of Champions, although a house show under the name "Smackville" was aired on the WWE Network in 2019.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Very low. I don't want to say zero, but this is as close to zero as it gets. Memphis is by far the more popular wrestling destination in the state, but it doesn't have a stadium capable of hosting a modern 'Mania.
NRG Stadium, Houston, TX - Stadium Profile: Built in 2002 to house the expansion Houston Texans, the Astrodome's spiritual successor houses 72,220. It's hosted two Super Bowls, two Final Fours, and is also on the schedule to host another Final Four and a College Football National Championship. NRG, then Reliant Stadium, hosted WrestleMania XXV.
- City Profile: Houston is the 5th largest metro area in the US. In addition to XXV, the Astrodome - despite no longer having any tenants - hosted WrestleMania X-Seven, often regarded as the best WrestleMania (and possibly the best WWE PPV ever). Houston has hosted numerous PPVs, including the 2020 Royal Rumble at Minute Maid Park and several other Big 4s.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Low. Though the Toyota Center is a common PPV host, Dallas seems to be the preferred destination in the state for WrestleMania. Still, NRG holds its weight, and perhaps it'll get another WrestleMania down the line.
Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH - Stadium Profile: Like many cookie-cutters of the 70s, Riverfront Stadium was replaced by two stadiums; Paul Brown, opened in 2000, was the first, and it seats 65,515. An odd quirk in the contract with the city states that Cincinnati must pay for anything that 10 other NFL stadiums have, including holographic replays.
- City Profile: Cincinnati is the 30th biggest metro area in the US. As it is not home to an NBA or NHL team, the outdated US Bank Arena hasn't hosted much for WWE, only 2006 Cyber Sunday and 2018 Starrcade (a rebranded house show).
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None. As highly of Moxley speaks of it, Cincinnati isn't a wrestling hub by any stretch, nor is it a big enough market to justify a high-profile event.
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL - Stadium Profile: Opened in 1998, this stadium seats 65,890 and has been home to the Outback Bowl, two Super Bowls (it'll host its third later this month), and the 2017 College Football National Championship. Its most prominent feature is a giant pirate ship that fires its cannons when the home Buccaneers score.
- City Profile: Tampa is the 18th largest metro area in the US. It hosted a few Big 4s decades ago, but prior to COVID last hosted 2014 Battleground. Sister city St. Petersburg will end up hosting several upcoming PPVs as it is the second home of the WWE Thunderdome.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Confirmed, as it will host WrestleMania later this year as a make-good for the Mania scrapped last year due to COVID-19. I'll admit that I was surprised to see Tampa on the schedule, and I can't imagine it'll come back after this year.
SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, CA - Stadium Profile: LA residents, I feel bad that you're on the hook for the $5 billion price tag of this megaplex that houses the Rams and Chargers. Opened last fall, it seats 70,420 on game day but can be expanded to over 100,000. It will also be the epicenter of the 2028 Summer Olympics and will likely be a major part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also has next year's Super Bowl and 2023's College Football National Championship on its radar. Incidentally, it has yet to host fans.
- City Profile: Los Angeles is the 2nd biggest metro area in the US. It's been home to numerous Big 4s including 3 WrestleManias (a fourth if you count nearby Anaheim) and was the regular host of SummerSlam for years.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Confirmed, as it is the host of WrestleMania 39 (pushed back from 37, presumably to allow California ample time to recover from COVID-19). It was intentionally over-built for high-profile events like WrestleMania, and I'm confident they will be back for many more.
Soldier Field, Chicago, IL - Stadium Profile: One of the classic sports venues, Soldier Field was built in 1924 but didn't host the Bears until 1971. A National Historic Landmark until 2002, it was delisted to allow the seating bowl to be gutted and rebuilt. Its signature Roman columns now reside at the stadium's gate.
- City Profile: Chicago is the 3rd biggest metro area in the US. It's a popular site of Big 4s, but it's hosted just two WrestleManias, both in arenas (2 and 22). It most recently hosted 2019 Survivor Series. Most WWE shows are held not in the United Center but instead at the Allstate Arena in nearby Rosemont.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Very low. I have to say I'm surprised Chicago's not hosted WrestleMania in so long given how raucous its crowds are and given Chicago's giant market. However, Soldier Field is not the most advanced stadium in the world, and WWE seems to like warmer buildings.
State Farm Stadium, Phoenix, AZ - Stadium Profile: At the time of its opening in 2006, State Farm was perhaps the highest-tech stadium ever built. It notably features not just a retractable roof but a retractable field, allowing its Bermuda grass to get some sunlight. It's also hosted a Super Bowl, 3 College Football National Championships, and a Final Four, with another Super Bowl and Final Four coming in the next few years.
- City Profile: Phoenix is the 10th biggest metro area in the US. Phoenix's first PPV was 2003 SummerSlam and it's hosted many since, including WrestleMania XXVI and most recently the 2019 Royal Rumble at Chase Field.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Low. You'd think if WWE were headed back to Glendale, it would've done so by now. Once the most high-tech stadium in America, its successes have since been duplicated by countless others.
TIAA Bank Field, Jacksonville, FL - Stadium Profile: Do I really have to do this one? Jacksonville Municipal Stadium was built in the 1930s, but it was overhauled in 1995 to welcome the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars, who are owned by the Khan family - the same family that owns AEW. It's also hosted Super Bowl XXXIX.
- City Profile: Jacksonville is the 40th biggest metro area in the US. Without a NBA or NHL team, it's hosted just one PPV: 2007 One Night Stand.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: None, as long as AEW is around.
US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MN - Stadium Profile: Built in 2016 as a replacement to the Metrodome and seating 66,655, US Bank's distinct exterior was built to resemble a viking ship. In its short life so far, it's already hosted a Super Bowl and a Final Four.
- City Profile: Minneapolis is the 16th biggest metro area in the US. Minneapolis hosted 1999 SummerSlam andlast hosted 2019 TLC. Surprisingly, the Metrodome never hosted WrestleMania.
- Likelihood of hosting WrestleMania: Medium to high. US Bank Stadium is a technological marvel, but Minneapolis is far from the most attractive location.

Please note: I cannot test the VR game because I don't have a phone that works with it, but if you purchase an untested game and it doesn't work you'll receive a refund for the item.
As far as sealed Pokémon TCG product goes, I’m open to anything since my sealed collection’s pretty small rn, but mainly things 2016 or newer. Also potentially interested in full arts (i.e. FA Stoutland, not FA GXs) from Cosmic Eclipse that are valued at $10 or under.

Hey! All of the prices are OBO, so feel free to make an offer, especially if you're interested in multiple games! Shipping'll depend on the weight of everything you're interested in, but on average it'll be between $3 and $5. I’ll take photos for you upon interest of games.
I ship ASAP! I may have accidentally forgotten to denote some CIB games missing manuals, but if you express interest I’ll check and take pictures and let you know.

Other Items: Please note: I cannot test the VR game because I don't have a phone that works with it, but if you purchase an untested game and it doesn't work you'll receive a refund for the item. Also, if you reach out to me on a weekday, I'm sorry if it takes me a while to get back to you, I work 2nd shift so I'm gone most of the day.
As far as sealed Pokémon TCG product goes, I’m open to anything since my sealed collection’s pretty small rn, but mainly things 2016 or newer. Also potentially interested in Cosmic Eclipse Tag Team Promos (SM240 and SM241) and other modern promos with cool art!

Hey! All of the prices are OBO, so feel free to make an offer, especially if you're interested in multiple games! Shipping'll depend on the weight of everything you're interested in, but on average it'll be between $3 and $5. I’ll take photos for you upon interest of games.
I ship ASAP! I may have accidentally forgotten to denote some CIB games missing manuals, but if you express interest I’ll check and take pictures and let you know.

Remembering 2007: Stanford beating USC was a bigger upset than Appalachian State over Michigan
2007 is one of the wildest seasons in the history of CFB. Despite a season capped by LSU's 3rd National title and a BCS Top 5 that looked more like a
revolving door than a ranking system, most remember 2007 for one defining moment: Appalachian State stunning the Wolverines in the
Big House. But just over a month later, another upset sent shockwaves through the college football world:
Stanford 24, USC 23. While Appalachian State's win will be remembered for as long as the game is played, let's take a closer look at why Stanford's victory was even more impressive.
THE LEADUP:
Appalachian State came into 2007 having won back-to-back 1-AA Championships, finishing 14-1 in 2006 (with the lone loss coming to NC State). The Mountaineers were riding a 14 game win streak heading into Michigan Stadium, outscoring their opponents by an average of nearly 23 points per game during that stretch.
Michigan had been on a roll as well: despite a crushing loss to rival Ohio State to keep them out of the BCS Championship game, the Wolverines had finished the '06 season 11-2 and came into 2007 with high hopes again. They'd won at least 9 games 4 out of their past 5 seasons, and Lloyd Carr's team sat in the #5 spot in the preseason rankings.
Meanwhile, Stanford had collected just 16 wins in its past 5 seasons, and never finished above .500 during that stretch. First year head coach
Jim Harbaugh and his new offensive coordinator David Shaw had their work cut out for them.
And USC? 5 straight shares of the PAC-10 title, 5 straight BCS bowls, 2 trips to the BCS National Championship Game, an AP Poll National Championship in 2003 and a (now vacated) BCS title in 2004. The Trojans were rolling and as the preseason #1 in the polls, they looked primed to make another run.
THE GAMES:
Michigan vs Appalachian State was one of the first game of the 2007 season, with a noon kickoff in front of 109,000 people. Las Vegas didn't bother with an official line, but it's estimated Michigan were around 33 point favorites. While the final score was close, it really shouldn't have been. Michigan grabbed 3 Appalachian State turnovers in the second half, and the defense forced 3 straight drives of 3-and-out punts. But, they wasted numerous opportunities in the 4th quarter, including 2 turnovers of their own inside the App State 35 yard line and a blocked field goal. Even still, the Mountaineers needed a miraculous
69 yard drive to take a 34-32 lead with 26 seconds to go. Then, well, you probably know the rest. Henne to Manningham for 46 yards, a 37 yard field goal attempt with 6 seconds to go,
and... The Wolverines were primed time and again to take control of the game, but they never did. Appalachian State had pulled off college football's greatest upset.
Until one month later.
1-3 Stanford limped into The Coliseum against the #1 team in the nation. True, the Cardinal had played 3 of its 4 games against ranked opponents, but none of those losses had been remotely close. On the other side of the field stood Southern California, 4-0 and winning each game by an average of 20 points. Vegas did have odds on this game: the Trojans were favored by a staggering 41 points, and many expected it to be even more one sided. But at halftime, USC led just 9-0 despite 221 total yards of offense.
The tree would bend, but not break. Then came the turnovers, as Stanford forced 5 USC giveaways in the second half including 3 straight Trojan possessions. Despite this, USC took a 23-14 lead on the Cardinal with just over 10 minutes to play. Stanford's offense had yet to score when the 4th quarter began, but went on to score 17 points in the final frame. After WR Richard Sherman caught a 20 yard pass on
4th and 20, Stanford capped the game winning drive with a
4th and 10 fade on the sideline with just 48 seconds left to win it 24-23.
Though neither of the two favorites in these games played up to their potential on game day, the real gravity of these upsets wouldn't be felt until the end of the season.
THE AFTERMATH:
Michigan would lose again in week 2 to Oregon (who would climb as high as #2 in the BCS polls before losing their final 3 games). But after that loss they rolled off 8 straight wins and finished 9-4 overall, sending
Lloyd Carr into retirement with a Citrus Bowl win over Florida. They never returned to the top 10 or the National Championship picture that season. Meanwhile, Appalachian State would lose twice in SoCon play, but still went on to win a third straight 1-AA championship. Even if Michigan had won this game they would not have been a BCS factor with three losses, but Appalachian State certainly could have made the 1-AA playoffs had they lost (even if it was at a lower seed).
USC would go on to claim another share of the PAC-10 title that year, but lost to that same pesky Oregon team in the process. They finished 10-2, but with no conference championship game to win, #7 would be as high as they could climb in the BCS polls. They would finish as Rose Bowl Champions and #3 in the final rankings. Stanford went on to have a wholly unremarkable season, finishing 4-8 (including a loss to the worst
Notre Dame team in recorded history) and failing to finish above .500 for the 6th straight year. USC was held out of any serious BCS contention with that ugly loss on its record, but an 11-1 Trojan team would almost certainly have made the title game over a 2-loss LSU.
We remember these upsets in the perspective of national perception: a 1-AA team with no national recognition beat a top 5 team, and an in conference loss that no one saw coming. But that 1-AA team was on its way to a third straight title, and we all know preseason rankings are as meaningless as
Whose Line Is It Anyway points. USC, however, was in the midst of a dynasty and Stanford was still a few years away from any sort of national relevance. Stanford were bigger underdogs, Stanford were an objectively worse team than Appalachian State, and Stanford wouldn't be relevant again on the national stage for another 2 seasons. Michigan were a good team, but probably not real BCS contenders in 2007. USC would have made the title game without the Stanford loss, and still finished #3 in spite of it.
Appalachian State proved in its championship seasons before and that 2007 season it belonged on the field with Michigan. And while the result was unlikely, Appalachian State was hardly a bad team, and Michigan went on to be not quite as good as advertised in the preseason. The Mountaineers ended the season averaging 42.7 points a game, defeating their opponents by an average of 20 with each win. While Michigan were never blown out, they didn't do much blowing out either. They won just 3 games by more than 14 points, and finished the season with an average margin of victory of just 5 points per win. Keep in mind, this was against a B1G schedule that was good, but not great, and included a non-conference game against that aforementioned (terrible) Note Dame team.
Stanford, however, had no business being in contention with USC. They had been horrible for 5 long years, and would continue to be horrible in 2007 (and not so good in 2008, either). Stanford's 8 losses were by an average of 18.75 points per game, and excluding a 37-0 win over SJSU, they won their remaining 3 games by a combined total of 9 points. USC were held back by the loss all season and still managed to win another BCS bowl game. They ended up scoring an average 32.6 points a game, and gave up an average of just 16 points each contest. Of USC's 8 wins, 12 came by 18 points or more. And that all happened against the 6th most difficult schedule in the nation.
Since that fateful 2007 season, Appalachian State has made a successful transition to FBS level, finishing every season but one with at least 7 wins. Stanford has become a national power, with at least 8 wins in every season this decade. Michigan would threaten to return to national prominence at times over the years, but have yet to make the leap into the top tier of CFB. And while USC would finish 2008 at 12-1, they have not had a season since with fewer than 2 losses. The dynasty of the 2000's has faded, but quite easily could have included another championship. For Appalachian State to beat Michigan, it took a little luck, good timing, and a whole lot of disrespect for the lower level of CFB. For Stanford to beat USC, it took 5 turnovers, the best on-field effort the Cardinal had produced in over half a decade, one of the worst USC performances in the Pete Carroll era, and even then the Cardinal needed a 4th and 20 conversion and a last second touchdown to win by a single point. With the benefit of hindsight and seeing how the rest of their seasons played out, Appalachian State had a pretty good shot at taking out Michigan. Stanford had no business being on the same field as USC.
TL;DR: A garbage fire Stanford team stopped the USC dynasty in its tracks, while a 1-AA dynasty beat a good (but not great) B1G team. Stanford upset > Appalachian State upset. submitted by TheDread-PirateRyan to CFB [link] [comments]
Countdown to Kickoff 2019: San Jose Earthquakes
I'll be editing this after I post it as I get input from other Quakes fans and see the final results of the preseason, so definitely take a look back at this before opening day!
It’s just under a year from when I posted the last Countdown to Kickoff for the Quakes, and things are the same but different, so why don’t I start off where the same as a year ago with the Quakes checklist and a couple relevant additions.
2018 started with brief excitement for something new and then was a journey of disappointment on various levels for home fans and a spoil of points for everyone else (except for Dallas and Minnesota).
Some traditions were maintained:
- The annual California Clasico Clusterfun match at Stanford? Check
- Wondo scoring at least 10 goals a season? Check
- At least one wonder goal? Check
Outside of that, it was just a lot of pain.
Before the kickoff of the 2018 season, the Quakes were reeling from bombing out of the playoffs. In 2019, fans are still reeling from the bottom of the table finish.
A question I presented in my post last year was "Euro Quakes: For better or worse?" and it turned out it was for a lot worse, at least with Stahre in charge.
Between permanent and interim coaches, the Quakes have now had five men at the helm of the team in the last 3 seasons. Dom Kinnear axed at the half way point of 2017, Chris Leitch on as interim coach. Mikael Stahre hired in the off-season. He coaches until September with Steve Ralston taking over until the end of the season. Now Matias Almeyda enters. I think he will finish the first Quakes manager since Kinnear in 2016 to finish a complete season, but what will it look like?
We're entering yet another season with a new coach at the helm, but just about the same group of players as the wooden spoon last year. So will Almeyda's introduction prove to be the spark that this group needed? Or will no coach be able to work wonders with this squad. Historically the Quakes have done well in similar circumstances, winning their first MLS Cup in 2001 after finishing with the wooden spoon in 2000. Yet this time they're going into the season without picking up relatively unknown players like Dwayne De Rosario or Landon Donovan, so I think a respectable playoff appearance would be acceptable.

Looking back...
2018 Record: 12th (West)/23rd overall - 4W/21L/9T
2018 Summary: Quakes started off the season with a win at home against Minnesota...and then only 3 more times, inexplicably sweeping the season series against Minnesota and FC Dallas but beating literally no one else. Incredibly their GD was around the same place as the 2017 season where they made the playoffs (-21 in 2017 vs -22 in 2018). They even scored more goals (39 vs 49) with two players outside of Wondo (Vako, Hoesen) hitting double digits in goals scored for the first time since the Quakes' record breaking Shield campaign. The 71 goals against didn't help them win any games. The Quakes had two scoreless draws (vs RSL and Colorado) but never shut out a team in a win. If you see Quakes fans celebrating a shutout victory under Almeyda like it's some sort of trophy, you'll now know why.
Pre-season (so far)
The Quakes were undefeated in preseason last year and won the wooden spoon, so Quakes fans have been trying to do our best not to read into these results one way or the other. Though we still do!
2/01 - Pioneros 1-1 Quakes
The Quakes' first match of the year came against Pioneros de Cancún, a Mexican 3rd division side. It wasn't broadcast so I can't say how the Quakes played, but inexplicably they drew. This may be the result of the Quakes getting used to longemore intense training regimens under Almeyda.
2/09 - Reno 3-0 Quakes
Starting XI | Second XI
Another shocker on paper came down to some defensive mix ups. I'm not sure if there was a system shock of hot Cancun -> snowing Reno but a lot of Quakes fans weren't entirely optimistic about the result of this match, even if preseason results don't matter.
2/16 - LAFC 0-3 Quakes
Starting XI
Ah, now (on paper) that's better! Was a closed door friendly so we didn't get to see how the team played, but from reports it seems the Quakes were pressing LAFC the entire match and had some good team play for the goals.
Goals: Eriksson, Wondo, Vako
2/23 - Quakes vs Seattle
Storylines going into this season
Almeyda takes the wheel!
Okay, so the European coaching staff didn't work out. Let's go for Mexico/Latin America/South America this year! Almeyda brought in not only his coaching staff from Chivas, but the player transfers were also from the region.
On the surface this signing was very hyped. I mean, really big move for the Quakes
But will it be a cure all? While the Quakes had added a few talented players, we don't know how those players and the new staff will gel with the leftovers from last year's Euro-centric roster as well as the days of old. Also, with Almeyda currently putting orders out there through a translator (as well as bilingual players), will that be an issue or a non-issue when it comes to the season?
Positional battles: Will there be a youth movement or will veterans win out?
Across the field and depth charts the Quakes have a mix of old and new, though historically old has been the driving force behind the team. Outside of Nick Lima, no homegrown players or really any youth players have ever grabbed a regular starting spot with the Quakes.
I'll go into the players individually later but the primary positions will be in the midfield and GK.
(Not every playebattle is listed so this area may change as Quakes fans give me some input)
GK: Vega (34) vs Marcinkowski (21) & Tarbell (25)
CM: Godoy (29)/Jungwirth (30) vs Felipe (23), Yueill (21), Judson (25)
AM/Winger: Erkisson (28) vs Thompson (23), Espinoza (23)
Wondo on the doorstep of history, but is it from the field or on the bench?
Wondo is 2 goals from becoming the top scorer in MLS history.
Wondo finished last season with 10 goals, which extended his MLS record for consecutive seasons with double digit goals (9). Nine seasons with double digit goals in itself is a record, with Wondo passing Donovan who had 8 over various MLS seasons. It remains to be seen if he can hit at least 10 goals for a 10th season.
When Wondo scores two more goals, he'll be in unprecedented territory. Will he be the first player to score 150 goals in MLS? (6 more goals). Will he be the first to score 150 goals with a single club? (10 more goals) Will he score against his 25th MLS club when FC Cincinnati come to town on May 4th?
Will he even have the chance to do these things, or will he start to be phased out this year. Time will tell, but if he starts opening day he may also be closing out the season as a starter.
Cali Clasico x Superclásico & MLS says LAFC are bigger rivals?
Quakes fans were happy to hear that they would be playing LA during one of MLS's designated rivalry weeks, but it turns out it was the wrong team. The Quakes have yet to beat LAFC so there's that, but calling it a rivalry is something else. To be fair there was a thrilling 4-3 loss for the Quakes in SJ last year that needs to be avenged, but it's far from a rivalry when one team is on the losing end of things and already has another rival in the same city.
As a side note, there's some odd scheduling of these California matches, with both California Clasico (SJ v Galaxy) matches happening within two weeks and LAFC facing SJ and the Galaxy within the span of four days in August. Odd stuff, it seems there's no time for these matches to be built up and savored by fans nor players.
Along with most teams, the Quakes failed to beat the Galaxy last year. They lost 1-0 away in Carson and had the aforementioned clusterfun 3-3 draw at Stanford. There's an interesting flavor to the rivalry now seeing as both team's coaches (Almeyda in SJ and Guillermo Barros Schelotto in LA) played and coached on opposite ends of the legendary Superclásico in Argentina. It'll be interesting to see how the rivalry plays out during the regular season, and possibly cup competition (USOC or Playoffs).
Where will Lima be by the end of the season?
Nick Lima trained with Hertha Berlin during the off-season and played quite well for the USMNT in the January camp. If he continues to play well for SJ, will he even be with the squad next year? And seeing as the Quakes infamously took years to (not) replace outside backs Justin Morrow and Steven Beitashour after trading them before the 2014 season, will they be able to develop a suitable replacement or depth at the very least?
Reno: Round 3!
Reno has had 2 seasons in the USL and both seasons they have made the playoffs. Ian Russel has managed to balance performing well in the USL with making sure Quakes loanees get the time they need on the field. I think Reno should be a lock for the playoffs and continue to act as a place for the Quakes to hold draft picks either on loan from the main roster or that they didn't want to sign to SJ but want to keep in the system. I'm not sure how many other MLS clubs fully utilize this, but outside of the regular loans we've had players who have moved from the Quakes down to Reno and up from Reno to SJ. It's an interesting dynamic that seems to be doing well for our fringe/youth players though we only have two seasons to go off of.
Keep an eye out for Danny Musovski, who the Quakes loaned to Reno for most of last season and have dropped to the USL completely for this season. He has scored buckets in the preseason, including one against San Jose and 4 against Real Monarchs. Hopefully this form continues into the season and with him being called "the USL Wondo" he may be a late bloomer like the man who took about 5 seasons to get regular starts and won a Golden Boot when given the chance. Also if/when Almeyda leaves, I think it's a given that Ian Russell takes charge of SJ. That is if he doesn't move to another club from Reno. I doubt he will, because he has been tied to the Quakes for decades as a player (2000-2005), and an assistant coach (2008-2016), before joining Reno as their head coach in 2017.

Kevin Partida | MF | Reno 1868 | Drafted by SJ in 2018, signed straight to Reno. Subsequently loaned to and then permanently signed by SJ |
Judson | MF | Avaí | On loan to the Quakes from Tombense in Brazil, he has played about just about every level of Brazilian football, most recently in Serie A |
Cade Cowell | FW | Quakes academy | Another year, another youngest ever signing by the Quakes. Signed to a 5 year contract, the Quakes seem to be expecting big things for the 15 y/o who plays for the Quakes' u17s and u19s |
Marcos López | DF | Cristal | The Quakes signed a LB! At only 19 years of age, he has already been capped (once) by the senior Peruvian NT |
Siad Haji | MF | VCU (NCAA) | The Quakes' #2 overall selection, we'll see how much match time he gets for SJ or another club |
Cristian Espinoza | MF | Boca Juniors | On loan from La Liga's Villarreal, there are high hopes for this 23 year old's offensive impact |
Mario Vega | GK | Tampa Bay Rowdies | At 34 years old many fans assumed he would just be a mentor for the younger GKs, but he will likely be our opening day starter |
Draftees aka no idea if they will be signed
These guys haven’t played a ton for the Quakes so I can’t provide a ton of analysis. I think Marie and Thiaw are likely to be signed just due to their amount of play time so far, but I was wrong in my predictions last year so what do I know.

Returning players
The Veterans
Shea Salinas Shea finally found his home club in 2012 after bouncing around during expansion drafts for a few years. Expect him to play off the bench and be depth for either midfield or LB
Chris Wondolowski Unless you're a Cincinnati fan, this man has scored against your team. I think he'll be starting for most of this year, but after he breaks the record we may see less and less starts. Or we may see him provide consistent goal scoring until the end of time. Wondo is seemingly eternal
Aníbal Godoy was a great midfielder when first arriving in 2015 but he seemed to become stagnant as time when on. Last year this was possibly because he was trying to save himself for the World Cup, though he didn't seem to give his all after returning from the tournament either. If he doesn't shape up, he may find a younger player pushing him out of the starting XI or even the team
The New Core
Danny Hoesen Hoesen really started to come into his own last year, more than doubling his goals from the 2017 season (12 vs 5) and keeping about the same amount of assists (4 vs 5)
Vako In his first full MLS season, Vako had the same production as the club's other Designated Player Wondo (10 g, 5 a) though in about 500 more minutes played. Some Quakes fans have said that the continual use of Wondo has forced Vako out of position, so we'll see how Almeyda handles the competition
Florian Jungwirth San Jose's CB turned CDM turned CB turned...we'll see where he plays, but had some disappointing minutes in the 3-0 loss to Reno during the preseason
Nick Lima Quakes fans are feeling vindicated by Lima's January camp performances, now that everyone can see why they were saying he deserved a shot with the USMNT despite the Quakes' defensive and overall record being so shoddy in the last two seasons. He may be moving abroad after this season or the next, which would be the first Euro feather in the cap of the Quakes' academy system (that didn't jump ship before arriving on the SJ first team)
Harold Cummings Cummings had to sit out the entire 2017 season after breaking leg at home before playing in any matches. He made 21 starts last year, and looks to be the CB to be paired with Guram Kashia
Guram Kashia After just half a season with the club, Vako's bff and Georgian international teammate seems to be an answer at CB that the Quakes had been looking for since the retirement of Clarance Goodson after 2016 and the forcing out of Victor Bernardez after 2017 look how well that worked out Jesse Fioranelli
Something to prove/I'm not sure how long they'll be here
Joel Qwiberg: Not a fan favorite, a LB who played on a Swedish team who won back to back promotions (3rd->2nd->1st) but he himself only played in the lower leagues of that campaign before arriving in SJ. Played 5 matches for SJ last year and 4 for Reno. Wouldn't be surprised to see him gone at the end of the season.
François Affolter: A meh CB that has been here since 2017 and has made 15 MLS appearances. Rumors were the Quakes were trying to sell him but that hasn't happened yet.
Magnus Eriksson Not really a fan favorite, he had 6 goals & 3 assists last year after spending part of the year as a DP due to his transfer fee. Rumors were that he was going to be sold this off-season, but maybe his Argentine coach can do better for Eriksson than his Swedish counterpart last year?
Youth/Fringe/Reno
Matt Bersano Was SJ's 3rd keeper last year having made 0 appearances in 2017 and 2018. He has primarily played on loan with Reno for SJ (37 matches). That said, fans would much rather see Bersano in the net than Tarbell who seems to still be above him in the pecking order
Jackson Yueill At 21 he is still a promising midfielder for the Quakes, he had a few assists in his 21 matches played for SJ last year
Jimmy Ockford Part of last year's "Reno Trio," Ockford will look to be CB depth for the Quakes vs a starting CB on loan to Reno
JT Marcinkowski The Quakes' up and coming HGP goalie who most fans wanted to start the season despite him only starting 5 matches for SJ last year. With Vega now on board, we'll see how long it takes for Marcinkowski (or another young goalie) to get a chance to start again
Tommy Thompson SJ's first homegrown who still is waiting to have his impact on the team. He only had 6 starts and 8 sub appearances for a total of 630 minutes. If Almeyda is looking to bring change, maybe Tommy will get more even minutes during the season
Eric Calvillo Another young midfielder for the Quakes, he went from the Cosmos to SJ before the 2018 season but he played more for Reno (11) than SJ (3). That may change under Almeyda
Andrew Tarbell Tarbell has appeared a lot for SJ, starting with the 11 matches of the 2017 season where Bingham was permanently on the bench before he was traded to the Galaxy in the off-season. He was the Quakes' primary starter for 2017 and gave up a lot of goals. While some of that can be blamed on defense, not all of it can.
Jacob Akanyirige Briefly the youngest player when he was signed by the Quakes just shy of his 16th birthday, Jacob hasn't made any professional appearances for SJ or Reno, though he has had cameos in friendlies.
Paul Marie A case of LOLQuakes/"Just MLS Things" saw the Quakes draft Paul Marie under the pretense he was a domestic player, seeing as MLS listed him in the draft as such, and then found out he wasn't. MLS didn't make any exceptions for the Quakes, so they were forced to loan him to Reno for the second half of 2018 to make way for Guram Kashia. This will be Marie's first full season in SJ, so time will tell if he can push for an outside back spot
Gilbert Fuentes One of the most exciting players potential wise on SJ's roster at just 16 years old, he was the Quakes' youngest ever signing until Cade Cowell was signed this off-season. He only made 1 pro appearance with SJ last year and 4 for Reno, so it remains to be seen how he'll be utilized by the club in 2019
Luis Felipe Another member of the Reno Trio turned duo, Felipe played in equal amount of SJ and Reno last season 13 MLS appearances and 13 USL appearances
Almeyda's Tactics
Here's a /LigaMX post about the topic
To summarize, Almeyda likes to play primarily with possession rather than counter attack. Almeyda has also mentioned that he wants to instill a defensive mindset in the players, which was definitely lacking in the previous seasons.
Predicted Opening Day Starting XI (Will be more clear after match vs Seattle)
Wondo Espinoza Vako Eriksson Godoy Judson Lopez Kashia Cummings Lima Vega
Expectations
Quakes fans have mixed expectations. It varies from thinking Almeyda will be the franchise's savior to it'll be another unsuccessful patch work attempt to compensate for the ownership's lack of spending.
Goals
If you're not last, you're first Finish near the playoff line, whether over it or under it
- Tighten up the defense
- Incorporate more youth in the lineup as the season develops (i.e. Vega out, Marcinkowski in)
Scenarios:
Worst case scenario: Apocalypse scenario: Almeyda's coaching is not the talisman that the Quakes needed and it turns out the roster is terrible. The GM is out, Almeyda bounces to coach Argentina's National Team instead and the Quakes enter another year of the eternal rebuild
Best case scenario: Quakes surprise everyone and have a comfortable journey to the playoffs where they win a match before getting knocked out
Realistic scenario: Quakes are a middling team, still with issues at defense but not as bad in the previous two campaigns. They're a darkhorse for the playoffs but do/don't make it due to summer signings.

How and Why the Raiders will Stay in Oakland
An Open Letter to the Oakland Raiders: Why the Raiders Will Stay in Oakland
Raiders fans, sports fans at large, Oakland natives and anyone else who supports the Raider organization to stay in Oakland, the city where the team was born, this is for you. The value of a professional sports team to its community is without parallel. It is priceless. The touchpoints of a pro team are woven into society. The city of Oakland is a special place. It is my native city. A prideful city at the heart of the Bay Area. Oakland is diverse, a town of ingenuity, an historic and culturally rich city and a brilliant future for generations to come.
I have held on to the idea the Raiders franchise and the city of Oakland could find a middle ground to maintain their residence where the team was founded near 60 years ago. Some have laughed, some booed, some called me delusional. It’s a long, complicated saga between the team owners and the city leaders. Caught in the middle is the die-hard to the casual fan of all ages, local business owners who greatly benefit from having the Raiders players and employees living in the city limits and the surrounding communities. I’m not naïve to think it is going to be an easy solution. The most impactful things in life rarely are easy. This letter is not about casting blame at the team leadership or the city government. This unfortunate situation is decades in the making. Both sides hold some responsibility to this crisis. No one is innocent.
Every business has the right to move to another city or state. It is understood at some point it is more advantageous for the business to cut its losses and move to a better business environment, for the health of the company. I support a business leader’s choice to re-locate. It is usually good business to look out for the employees and the survival of the company. This is no ordinary business, and this is no typical situation. An NFL franchise is a rare earth material. There are only 32. A lot of people beyond the employer is affected. A pro team is a vital asset to its home city. Oaklanders understand this fact. We know what its like to lose a team, to get it back and to potentially lose it again. Insanity. A tragedy of epic proportions.
The most impacted is the youth. It tells them, what is important to you doesn’t matter. That the business decision to leave is more important than being supportive to the fans. The players current and former are also caught in the middle. The years of community connection, charitable involvement would go away, like water to vapor.
The players and team employees graciously give back to the region in immeasurable ways, donating copious hours to local charities, hospital visits, entrepreneurial programs, physical fitness camps all for local youth groups, veterans support programs, at risk population services, visits to schools, every student will remember for a lifetime, the list goes on! There is a dollar amount on an annualized basis that could be calculated. An economics disciplined person is capable of an estimated financial impact for one year and deduce how many years it will be before the financial impasse between the City and team will be resolved. Regardless the dollar amount the two sides can’t agree on, let’s figure the offset.
What is the long-term benefit for an agreeable financial amount to keep the Raiders, versus how many years it would take to compensate the communities affected? For example, the loss of the team means the sphere of philanthropic contributions in per person hours donated to charitable causes and the financial impact (donations, grants, lost commerce revenue) by players, team staff, visiting teams, their fans and our fans during the NFL season. The equation solution is not linear. When all the pros and cons are factored, the long-term benefit to the region at large and for the sports fans far exceeds a big eye-popping number, that likely scares many people to think critically about the overall impact. The harsh reality, without a well-conceived, and equitable solution, the sure loser is all the local businesses, fans and charitable causes benefiting from the team’s residency.
For non-sports fans who may not care whether the Raiders stay or leave, the non-monetary impact is worthy of supporting this just cause. Odds are one or more of your loved ones is or will be inspired by a player or team employee whether it be in the sciences, volunteerism or just feeling good because someone took time to listen and share their story. The selfless actions by staff and players is a gift to the local citizenry. What does inspiration for a life-time cost? It is an intangible.
Also affected are the part-time stadium workers who do it purely for the love of the team, feeling like part of something much bigger. The team employees either must relocate or be out of a job. If you have been to a Raider game, it’s a spectacle. In the mid/late 90’s I worked for a company based a few blocks from the stadium. For all time I will remember watching the armada of RVs and campers lined up on a Friday evening outside the parking lot awaiting for the gates to open, whether it was a traditional Sunday kickoff of a Monday night national game, the fans are there, days in advance. We live our un-yielding passion for the Silver and Black. The Raiders fans are a legion, we transcend being fans just because football is fun to watch. The fanbase is educated about the team’s legacy.
Oakland and neighboring cities will feel the ripple effect. The activities surrounding the team, pre-game and post-game will suffer. Some will go out of business; others will struggle to survive. Their patrons will lose the game day community, where we all despite our broad spectrum of personalities, and lifestyles come together, unified as a Raider Nation. Youth football programs and charitable involvement will falter. It is not all doom and gloom because there is one thing the people of Oakland, the greater region, the Raider fan base can do.
Stand united. Save our Oakland Raiders. The following are four points to save the team, keep them home, where they belong:
- A vacancy next door opens a legitimate reason for the Raiders to stay. The Golden State Warriors moved to San Francisco, done deal. The Warriors are a Bay Area treasure. The team is a beloved sports franchise for all time. The team’s 40 plus years calling Oakland home runs deep in the city’s history and will always be fondly remembered. Three world championships in five years is legendary, plus one more in the 1970s, makes four titles. The Oracle arena, dubbed “Roaracle”, a fitting name indeed, is now (largely) an abandoned venue, spare the occasional concert or indoor sporting event. Other venues will be excellent replacements, Henry J Kaiser, Fox Theater, not to mention the potential building a new music/arts venue in the future. The adjacent coliseum stadium home to the Raiders and the Athletics (A’s) of major league baseball (MLB) is the only duel sport franchise facility (two different pro sports) in the United States. It is possible both factions, city leaders and the Raiders management have allowed this detail to cloud a solution.
The plain fact, it is a health risk to the athletes. It’s an eyesore to see as a fan and in short, an embarrassment. The Oakland/Alameda county complex facility is aged. A solution is to use the existing footprint, tear down Oracle and the stadium and build two new facilities for the Raiders and A’s. For example, position the two buildings in current parking lots, A and C . The grounds are approximately 120 acres, large enough to accommodate two stadiums. The infrastructure is in part already in place. The local transit system Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station is adjacent including a footbridge from the station to the stadium grounds. More important is the impact on the immediate neighborhood. Without the games and fans visiting near year-round, the neighborhood will slip into abandon. It is understood the state of California is strict with maintaining natural habitats. The environmental design and architecture industries have come a long way. There isn’t a better time to secure competitive bids to design an improved facility making a world class destination for sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts. A recent “60 Minutes” news program segment highlighted a Dutch architecture firm. Their winning design is an environmentally conscience solution, preserving beach dunes and constructing a community parking structure underground to enhance the experience for beach goers and tourists.
Like much of the Netherlands, the land the stadium complex sits on is a natural marsh system, in a tidal zone, meaning at certain times of day is below sea level. Oakland is not only a proud city, it is also a 30 plus year member of the “Tree City USA” program. . A testament to the city’s long-term commitment to urban natural habitats, parks and wilderness areas. A modern design will build much needed green space, and sports/recreation facilities for the surrounding residents. The East Oakland community is long overdue for an urban revival. For long time city residents, it’s an obvious need. Some local leaders rightly foresee a land grab (if the Raiders relocate) by deep pocketed industrialists. The locals will certainly be in a more tenuous situation. Whether the Raiders stay with the current site or choose a different location locally, the neighborhood deserves to use the stadium land space for a new community use, park space, recreation, sky’s the limit. Now it dovetails to the second concept:
- The A’s have put forward a beautiful rendering of a new baseball park along the Oakland estuary waterfront . It is a long-neglected part of the city. The waterfront holds a lot of promise for the sky-rocketing real estate prices. Oakland is in effect the central hub of the greater Bay Area based on the transportation (freeways and trains) systems and geographically is in a prime location. When the A’s move to their new facility, it leaves plenty of latitude for the Raiders to stay at the current site as referenced or choose another location, for example, the old Oakland Army Base or in a neighboring city, such as Emeryville, keeping in mind the benefits to build an environmentally compatible facility that will also bring a sustainable revitalization to the local community. During construction of a new facility, the Raiders could play at Cal Berkeley Memorial Stadium or the San Jose State stadium for a season, if construction requires a short-term home. While constructing a new stadium in one of the previously suggested sites or a different location, a simultaneous project to extend a BART line to transport attendees to the stadium and a revitalized neighborhood infrastructure could be developed, a matter of smart planning and logistics.
A well-designed revision of other public transit services and ride-sharing providers will be part of the master plan too. It doesn’t need to be another immovable barrier to the Raiders staying in Oakland. There are numerous sensible locations for the team to build a new home. A move to another state is irrational. The Bay Area is one of the largest and most diverse metropolitan areas in the country. Oakland is one of the most diverse cities by most any measure, it is chromatic.
The rival 49ers moved to Silicon Valley, far from its namesake. The Raiders are the closest proximity to all the world-class tourist destinations in San Francisco. By BART or car, Oakland airport and the coliseum complex, is closer for visitors to S.F. than the 49ers home base in Silicon Valley. All the visiting team fans and can still stay in San Francisco and take public transit to the game without much effort. For the football fan, keeping the Raiders in Oakland allows you to bring family, friends or business associates to experience a pro football game (and baseball the same weekend if the time of year is right) and visit all the renowned San Francisco sites.
As a bonus, downtown Oakland, Jack London Square and Oakland Chinatown are equally entertaining on a game day or any day. For all those who think Oakland is an unsafe or a dull place, make a visit, see for yourself what it’s like. A dynamic city, great food, electric night life, street festivals, an urban lake and park space are all easy to access. The views from the Oakland Hills is the definition of the “million dollar” view. On any day of the year, the Golden Gate Bridge shrouded in fog or a golden sunshine filled skyline view of downtown San Francisco is second to none. Oakland is beautiful; town pride is splashed across the city.
- Las Vegas is an amazing city. It is the entertainment capital of the world. My Dad lives in Vegas. When I visit it is always as great time. Las Vegas does not need the Raiders. Vegas has so much to offer, a glittering oasis in the middle of a vast desert, it is like no other city in the world. Their new stadium is going to be an excellent facility for Super Bowls, NCAA championships in football, basketball, exhibition matches for Latin and European football clubs, highlight national televised major sports events, (think Yankees vs. Red Sox, or Lakers vs. Celtics), all-star games, MMA, soccer, motorsports, the list goes on. The stadium will be a draw no matter what or who’s name is emblazoned on the marquee. Some cities may not like the idea Vegas be a de facto home for the Super Bowl or All-Star contests, consider the alternative. Would Dallas or Miami prefer to lose their football teams to save the occasional Super Bowl host city duties? I don’t think so. The championship games could continue to rotate to other cities. Vegas is an excellent location. The story of the Las Vegas Golden Knights is a sports story for the ages. The fans are passionate about their hockey team. They were forged in the desert oasis.
I doubt there’s a Knights fan that is OK with the team deciding to move. Some may scoff at the proposition. It’s happened before, Seattle Pilots (MLB) moved to Milwaukee re-named the Brewers after one season, Kansas City Scouts (NHL) moved to Denver after two seasons, L.A. Chargers moved to San Diego, after their inaugural season (now relocated back to L.A. after 50 plus seasons). Regardless, fan to fan understand the catastrophic loss to Oakland. Understand, it already happened to us once. Now the team and city can’t come together to prevent it happening to us again, yet. Vegas, you don’t need the Raiders. You have world class music, theater, dining, hotels, shopping, gaming and are primed to be the undisputed “big game” city the world over. We Raider fans will happily visit, spend our tourist dollars to see our elite players in pro bowl games, Super Bowl games, the occasional marquee showdown against a division rival (similar to NFL games played in Mexico City and London), and be in solidarity to your Golden Knights being home grown for decades to come.
- The alternate if the Raiders leadership won’t make amends with Oakland and save our team, for the fans, for the community there is always a buyer. An NFL franchise has a line out the door and around the corner for buyers. The Bay Area is home to 18 “Fortune 500” companies. Tech giants, Alphabet (Google), Intel, Facebook, and Oracle (the former Warriors arena name sponsor) and thriving tech companies like Pandora (headquartered in Oakland), corporate titans, Wells Fargo and Chevron all call the Bay Area home. The tech world has proved its ability to succeed in professional sports, “shark”, Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks), Steve Ballmer (Los Angeles Clippers) and Paul Allen’s family (Seahawks).
There are also scores of local investors with deep pocketbooks living off the news wire radar. Professional athletes are a natural fit as well, Michael Jordan, Mario Lemieux, Venus and Serena Williams all have financial interest in pro franchises. Athletes locally raised or with Bay Area ties will make up an excellent ownership team, Rickey Henderson, Marshawn Lynch, Gary Payton, C.C. Sabathia, Tiger Woods, Ken Dorsey, Natalie Coughlin, and Langston Walker to name a few. Include entertainers, Sheila E, Carlos Santana, Todd Shaw (AKA Too Short), Billie Joe Armstrong, Mr. Jackson (AKA Ice Cube), James Hetfield, the incomparable women of En Vogue, lest we forget Mr. Burrell (Hammer don’t hurt’em). The pool of prominent citizens is deep and abundant. And some pretty stratospheric A-list entertainers too, Tom Hanks, a long time Oakland ambassador, Jessica Alba, and Guy Fieri. The star power is evidence Raider Nation is one of the brightest in all pro sports fandom. Let’s put the word out, get the stars aligned to shine above the Oakland skies.
If there isn’t a viable ownership group, making the Raiders a community owned franchise like the Green Bay Packers is a strong option. The fans/investors proved championship caliber football can be achieved by a team without a private ownership group. The Raiders are well suited for such an enterprise. Oakland, if it were an island to itself is populous enough to qualify as an NFL city. According to the US Census, the city’s population is larger than Cleveland, New Orleans, Buffalo and Green Bay. Reality, NFL cities include the surrounding metro area, which makes sense. The home cities for all pro sports franchises draw fan bases from the greater region. Considering the region, where the Raiders live, it’s in the top 10 metro areas by population, making Oakland an ideal location for an NFl team. The Raiders also have a long-standing natural rivalry in pro sports, the Bay Area, and the Southern California region is balanced, two NFL teams in each metropolis. Moving the Raiders would upset that historic balance.
Any of the above ideas are the beginning of sensible options to achieve the greater goal. Integrating any one with another idea, for example a new stadium for the team and say, community ownership is very possible. For example, a third-party investor group building and owning a stadium with rights to use for other events beyond NFL schedules is a solve with respect to Oakland city leaders unwilling to budge on local government financing.
The Raiders fans, particularly the local fans have been lulled into a state of lethargy. All the years of the Davis family threatening to move the team to various cities and squabbling with the city. Lawsuits are thrown around. It’s become a situation of one ups-man-ship. Oakland leadership is no better by suing the team and the NFL. A business being sued elicits a not so friendly attitude to reconciliation. Let bygones be bygones.
We the Raider fans, Raider Nation have been loyal, passionate fans from all walks of life, ethnicities, geographic backgrounds, we come together on game days knowing the opposing team brings their “A” game because the legend of the Raiders means something across the league. The mystique of the Raiders is because of Oakland, the pirate logo, the “Black Hole”, the tailgating before the games. These characteristics known around the world could not have happened anywhere except Oakland.
No other place can replicate how the history of the Oakland Raiders has contributed to the popularity and community bonding our team brings. The same can be said of the Philadelphia Eagles or the Chicago Bears, no one could fathom these storied teams moving. The fans would not allow it, neither will we.
The Raiders are worth making a grand last effort to keep the team in our hometown. We show our commitment to a team that bluntly put out a sub-par product, possibly on purpose. Maybe a nefarious attempt to make a future re-location not so bothersome to the locals. Such is speculation yet, not out of the realm of reason. The cumulative record of the Raiders over the last 10 years would make a lot of fans change loyalty. Not Raider Nation. We support the Silver and Black because we know the legacy of the team, we know there are going to be brighter days ahead, because we band together to stand up for what’s right. We believe in the ebbs and flows, and we are smart enough to recognize once a championship team, the heights of success are absolutely, achievable. The Raiders franchise belongs in Oakland.
NFL teams are a rarity. Ranking the value of pro football teams, the Raiders are a comfortable, #18 out of #32. An estimated value near $2,000,000,000 . Billion with a “B”. Interestingly the same report notes the debt to value of the Raiders is tied at the second highest of all NFL teams at 33%, in a tie with Atlanta. Only the L.A. Rams is a higher debt to value, understandably because the owner is building a brand-new world-class stadium that will rival any pro sports arena the world over.
Considering this information, does the Davis family really need to wreck a community? $2B will buy their family interest in another franchise or a mountain top castle if that’s what excites their wants. To Mr. Davis, you may or may not be aware, your actions are reviled by most of the Raider Nation. It doesn’t have to go down that way. By selling or working diligently to preserving the Oakland Raiders, your reputation will be exalted in the hearts and minds of Raiders fans. Many fans have and will disparage your decision to move our team however consider all the good will a change of heart will make on tens of thousands of people, families, children, people you will never meet. We will be thankful you chose to keep our Raiders in Oakland.
To all the Raiders fans and sports fans at large who support keeping the Raiders in Oakland share your stories, what going to a pro sports event means to you. How the Raiders family, players, employees have impacted your life for the better or why the Raiders staying home matters to you? When we stand united for a worthy cause, a civil, well organized and impassioned citizenry can make the impossible possible.
Respectfully-
An Oakland Raiders fan
