It's a desert. It gets chilly there after September. It has a lousy airport. There's not much to do there except drink and gamble. In sum, it's just a sh*thole with a strip of casinos full of dumb tourists and people going to conventions and really not a fun place to visit in the cold winter months when football happens.
A former colleague, who was/is a passionate Pats supporter, has gone to numerous stadiums around the country. She always reiterated that the only time she was "scared" was when she n her husband went to Oakland Collusium
Taxi lines are not much better and the shuttles to downtown have a " we don't give a s*it attitude, we don't have to". We took Uber everywhere at a fraction of the cost.......Hopefully, they do something about that airport with the increase in revenue. Nothing like having to wait in line for a shuttle to the off site rental car facility after a 6 hour flight.

I would rate Levi stadium across the bay as the worst. That move from Candlestick to the worst part of Santa Clara was pretty bad.

Don't people tend to go to Vegas for Vegas stuff and not sports games? I think Golden Knights will fail hard because of this. Not convinced people will want to go to a hockey game out there. Raiders already have a dedicated fanbase so it outta work.

San Diego was an awesome place to visit for Patriots games. The NFL takes away that and gives me suck *** Las Vegas!
You forgot excellent food and strip clubs.
Add those in, and you've just described heaven
I find that hard to believe given that you say there's not much to do there except drink and gamble, and that it gets "chilly" after September.I've been there frequently. Probably more often than anybody really should go.

Of course, all of this is not to mention the fact that they are coming from Oakland, which is not exactly a tourist mecca in the first place. I would never make a trip to Oakland to see the Raiders play, but I could sure see myself going to Vegas when the Pats are in town. I suspect a great number of NFL fans across the nation agree.
