    Sport as much Bills gear as you can, start smack-talking Raider fans as soon as you walk into the stadium and don't stop.

    The Bills haven't won there since 1965.

    Good choice!

    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!

    Thank you for that.

    It is heartwarming to actually receive a constructive response.

    The team should be halfway to Vegas by then.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    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.

    Great way to watch game without sun in your eyes!

    Tell everybody sitting around you that you have Carr, Cooper, Murray and Oakland's defense on your fantasy team.

    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.
