I went to see the Bills play there about 10 years ago...when Kelly Holcomb was our QB. We got booed, but nothing out of the ordinary. We changed seats and sat with a few rows of Bills fans. There are always open seats there...it's crazy. When we were leaving (after a loss) a fan told me to have a nice flight home. Problem is, we lived in San Jose at the time. You will constantly smell marijuana as well in all of the parking lots. Good times!

The tailgating there is pretty good, they don't allow any glass so keep that in mind.

While at the game itself, we were fairly unabused, but like the other guy said, on the way out was pretty bad. I'd bring a jacket (preferably black) and wear that over the Bills gear upon exiting.

Stadium sucks, but we got good seats in the "black hole" (shady area under the 2nd floor)
Great way to watch game without sun in your eyes!

Have a note with next of kin information somewhere on your body, not guaranteed to be found but you might as well try. Other than that, get your affairs in order ahead of time.

Wear a t-shirt that says Raiders fans are sissies, they appreciate bold opinions. Call everyone you meet "homes", except at tailgating, then call them "douche". They love a good banter. The games there are lighthearted fun, they get a kick out of it if you spit on them, mock Al Davis as the mummy without wrappings, and throw stuff at their women. If you see any of those, they're all usable, just offer them a dollar, even the stadium staff, concession workers, guards, "Give you a buck for a bendover, slot machine.".

On your way out, they want visitors to throw stuff at their cars, kind of a tradition, while mocking them for getting ready to lose a team to Nevada.

After the game, if you want a fully rich Oakland experience, look for the backstreets and large groups of minorities hanging around, go back to calling everyone "homes", but the women are still good for a buck. Be sure and tell them "minorities matter" and that's like a free friendly pass anywhere. Explore, especially real real late on empty streets. Groups of young men are probably spontaneous parties so you want to head over and ask if you can "get down and boogie" with them.

You're going to want to keep as much cash as you can on you at all times, and by then it would be good to change to suit and tie so you can best present yourself to the partiers, who love a well dressed visitor they can show around.

Always remember, have fun, they're there for your amusement and love to caper for the visitors.

Went to the game in Oakland 2 years ago Marrone was the coach. We were in the hunt that year, we lost that game and we were out.

I was afraid at first for the bad reputation Oakland has I went by myself so I walked into the parking lot and saw a lot of bills fans, I hang out with about 10 or 12 of them before the game no Raider fan care about us they were all friendly I guess because we are not divisional rivals.

The scary part was after the game I had to wait to be picked up by my girlfriend who was in downtown Oakland and there were a lot of sketchy people outside that stadium man, this woman who looked high to me came and asked me if I wanted to buy a ****ty flip phone.

Other than that the experience was great I would go again if I could.

I got some funny pics from the bills and raiders fans too.

There's no point in pride here. Wear a Raiders jersey, enjoy the best they have, and wander around looking for Bills fans to be nice to and hang around with until people are mean to them, then agree and move on to the next party. You were born in Oakland but moved, always cherished the Raiders from your father and grandfather who died in wars rooting for the Raiders, feel bad for the Bills and their fans, but this is your first real Raiders game in person and this whole experience is just the dream of a lifetime !!! Buy a couple of war relic looking things that aren't firearms, bleed on them a little and let it dry and fade, and this is everything you promised dad and granddad, that you'd go to a Raiders game with them one time in your life, and it sure is great that it is this one against those crappy Bills !!!

Well, I hope you had what fun you could have not including the actual game.

Yeah the game itself was rough.
