View Full Version : Chargers or Raiders road game and why?

If you could only go to one road game, would it be the Chargers or Raiders... And why?
What area would make for a better long weekend with the wife?
Where am I most likely to get murdered?
A few thoughts:
Oakland is a shit hole - you are likely to get shot there. But it's the last year the Raiders will ever be in Oakland (until they move back in 30 years) - so there is some value in going to the last Raiders/Broncos game at Oakland Alameda County Colosseum. Plus I'd venture to say we are more likely to win the game than vs the Chargers. San Francisco is a world class city and right across the bay, so that is a plus imo, but it's unbelievably expensive too... Or you could wait until 2019-2020 and meet me in Las Vegas for the game...
I would have been more likely to recommend the Chargers while they were still in San Diego. They are once again playing in a small soccer stadium this year with small crowds - there will probably be more Broncos fans than Chargers fans at the game, so you are much less likely to be shot or stabbed. The Chargers are likely to contend for the division title, so it's likely that this game would be more meaningful, but also that the Broncos are more likely to lose.
It really boils down to whether you'd rather go to LA or San Francisco from a tourist standpoint.

Oh then it's Vegas for sure! We may need to talk about setting your wife up on a Grand Canyon tour or something though...

LA Chargers. You can go to Disneyland, Universal Studios, and explore some places in Hollywood or LA. Then, go to the Broncos vs. Chargers game on Sunday.
FYI: Broncos vs. Raiders game in Oakland will be on Christmas eve. I am not sure if you want to travel during the week of Christmas.

It will not be in the 2018 season - i can't afford it.
I have booked with a company for 2019 - paying it up each month, was going to go to Denver again, but then i thought it would be a good opportunity to see a different state.
As the schedule has not been released that far into the future, i still have a lot of flexibility with my booking. Hence this question.
But the reality is, i think Vegas is going to win

We should definitely all invite ourselves to the game Dave is going to in Vegas. I am definitely seeing a Raiders game there.

Either one would be awesome. Vegas, after the Casinos and game, get out of town and go see the Hoover Dam. It will give you the opportunity to see some great scenery and even some of those small Western desert towns you want to be the sheriff of.

I am tentatively planning on making the Vegas Broncos game an annual affair.

Yeah, don't go this year Valar. You will only be disappointed either way. Unless it's for travel and entertainment then both places are ok.
Vegas next year will be the best choice by far.

My wife would rather go the LA route than Vegas route. So, I would have to go to LA.

This might be your last chance to show your wife the dumpiest stadium in the continental United States, Oakland!

I've never been to Oakland Stadium, but I guess an individual should experience the filth, if given the chance. Perhaps the wife likes the challenge

You got me, but I’m guessing it would be enough to make Andrew Dice Clay blush.
Do both. Sell your wife to finance it.

I am not doing both on a budget that small
