    This is admirable more teams should contribute like this.

    People are forgetting that Al Davis died, who knows how that franchise will be run now.

    Quote, "season tickets starting at $260 a piece and costing as much as $1,510"


    ummm,
    at these prices, their fans are getting ripped off big time!

    That's a respectable percentage. Kudos to their organization for a great display of CSR.

    That's not all that much.
    $32.50-188.75 per game? Our season tickets cost way more than that. The worst seats start at $95 p/g list price.

    When I read this, my first thought was that there may have been some sort of tax benefit to the Davis family, which is probably dealing with estate tax issues right now. But then I fall back to the better reasoning behind it: the Raiders can't sell out home games anyway, and probably end up eating or giving away that many tickets every year just to avoid weekly blackouts. Raiders and Raiders fans are not good and classy people. They're crossdressing weirdo freaks. Let's not treat them as normal.

    No NFL team does anything to be "nice" or even classy for that matter. It's all about money and PR, which = money.

    Sorry.

    I originally read that as per game, not per season. Then again, their team did suck during that time,,,:wink:
