The Raiders have announced a slew of Game Day activities for fans and, as a service to you, the fans, here they are:
RAIDERVILLE RETURNS TO OAKLAND
Raiderville, an immensely popular pregame tailgate party that made its debut in 2009,
returns in 2010.
Raiderville officially re-opens this Sunday, September 19, before the Raiders open this
year's regular season home slate vs. the St. Louis Rams at the Oakland-Alameda
County Coliseum.
"Raiderville is a fantastic tailgating experience that introduces the Raider Nation to
some outstanding brands in the market," Raiders Marketing Director Robert Kinnard
said. "Raiderville will be open throughout the regular season at every Raiders home
game."
Raiderville, presented by the Raiders official beer, Bud light, is located in Parking Lot B
and is free to the general public. Raiderville features the Bud Light bar with a host of flat
screen televisions, a live remote with the Raiders' Flagship Radio Station LIVE 105
(105.3 KITS-FM), and the popular station's air personality No Name.
Fans who visit Raiderville can also purchase new Raiders Scratchers from the
California Lottery, watch early NFL games on two giant nine-foot LED screens, and
meet and obtain autographs from Raider Legends and Raiderettes, Football's Fabulous
Females. Raiderville will also have its own exclusive list of tasty foods--tri-tip
sandwiches, pretzels, kettle corn, cotton candy, and much more.
An exciting new addition to Raiderville in 2010 will be a Family Zone, where youngsters
will have the opportunity to participate in arts and crafts, play video games, get their
face painted, and participate in inflatable attractions and obstacle courses.
Raiderville is located on the South side of the Coliseum, in Parking Lot B, and will be
open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Log on to www.raiders.com for more information.
