Broncos Fan's Worst Game: Hostile Raiders Fans

0:00On March 27, a long-time Denver Broncos fan recently shared what they called their worst game ever attended, and get this, it was actually a huge Broncos victory. Back in opening week of 2008, on Monday night football, the Broncos demolished the Oakland Raiders 41-14 at the Oakland, Coliseum, the fan drove up from Sacramento with their brother, a Raider supporter, hoping for some friendly rivalry fun. Things started off light with tailgating and good nature trash talk from the home crowd. But as Denver built a 24-to-nothing lead by half-time, the mood shifted fast for the visiting fan. They held off a bathroom break after hearing drunk Raiders fans were targeting Broncos' supporters, even blocking urinals to mess with them. The electric atmosphere turned hostile, with chance of Broncos suck echoing through the stadium. Postgame, the parking lot erupted into chaos, complete with fireworks, fights, and little police presence. The fan barely made it to a porta-potty amid the madness before navigating the 90-minute

They even suggest the Raiders were smart to move to Las Vegas, where fewer hardcore locals show up now. Fan stories like this highlight why road gains in rival territories can test even the most die-hard supporters, especially when your team wins big.
