On the heels of a massive fight between fans during the Oakland Raiders second preseason game, an announcement was made about the future home of the Silver and Black. When it comes to fighting among fans, the new Las Vegas stadium will have none of it.
The situation is being taken so seriously that the stadium will have a small jail and courtroom to "deal with unruly fans."

The new stadium will also have its own area command with dedicated officers like the Strip ...
Should be for the players.
Philly has had this forever.
Really makes me love the NFL even more....
Yep work release holding until game start.
If fans could be arrested for arrogance or boorish attitudes, the Minnesota Vikings stadium jail would be filled to overflowing every game.
In the olden days when a riot occurred they would just seal off the stadium and send in troops to kill everyone.

“Two of the emperor’s best generals, Belisarius and Mundus entered the Hippodrome through separate entrances, trapping the mob inside; “in the end not one of the citizens, either of the Greens or of the Blues, who were in the Hippodrome, survived” (Theopanes). Of the populace that day more than thirty thousand perished (Procopius, I.24.54; Theophanes and the Chronicon Paschale say thirty-five thousand). Hypatius was executed and the estates of others who had collaborated, confiscated. Peace was restored, although “the chariot races were not held for a long time” (Theopanes).”
Raiders fans? Better make it a large one.
Talladega Superspeedway has a temporary jail in the infield during its NASCAR races.
“30K DEAD and peace was restored!!
But no chariot races for a long time.”
So there’s that. Always some collateral damage.
Just like some bars in Tiguana and Ensanada. More cultural enrichment...
Raiders fans? Better make it a large one.

In the ‘70’s the Raiders would play Denver and what good games they were, especially play-off games. Madden was fun to watch and Bronco fans loved to hate Howard Cosell. Good times.
None of the current BS in those days.
Most NFL stadiums have had rocket dockets at some point. With capacities in the 75,000 and up range they are basically small cities for 4 hours. With all that that implies.
I’m so tuned out of the NFL this year I didn’t even know this fight happened until now.
Will the proceedings be broadcast live on those large LED video screens they have at the stadium?
Regards,
Let me guess, you wear a MAGA hat in Oakland stadium you: GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO! Nice way to spend $150 a ticket and then end up in the pokey for fun. The NFL is racing to the bottom of the bottomless pit.
HAS ANYONE SEEN WHAT’S HAPPENING AT VIKING STADIUM??? LOOKS LIKE FRICKING MECCA!!
Can someone post a thread?
They can try and convict fans, but we cant quickly bounce illegals back home.
I guess someone should press the “That was easy!” button!
