Derek Carr, a former quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, discusses his favorite stadiums from his NFL career.
The Raiders are in a terrific spot in Vegas, but nobody can ever forget how amazing Oakland was, especially the Coliseum, which was one of the most feared venues in football during that era. The Raiders have relocated cities a few times.
Nobody wanted to play there, and if they did, they would be harassed by the Black Hole during the entire game. However, things happen, and regrettably, Oakland will no longer even host baseball. These days, the league has a ton of other stadiums much like it.
It goes without saying that the Green Bay Packers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and a few other teams play in some of the hardest venues. The Raiders’ new stadium is a fan favorite because it looks amazing and can accommodate Super Bowls and other big events. That is, however, what they have encountered over the past few years—a large number of other fans—when they are in Las Vegas.
Derek Carr, a former quarterback for the Oakland Raiders and Las Vegas Raiders, recently shared on Instagram which stadiums he had played in that he particularly enjoyed.
“To be honest, Oakland was amazing,” Carr said in response to a query. I had never encountered anything like it before. It was absurd. The atmosphere in Las Vegas was chaotic and amazing. There was something about a nightclub vibe to it, with Bruce Buffer and Lil John going bonkers. Furthermore, New Orleans is amazing. Nothing compares to when we score because everyone starts dancing, the music starts, and we execute the kickoff.”
Since then, Antonio Pierce has stated that they wish to restore Allegiant Stadium to its former Oakland glory and make it their home. Fans are currently dealing with what he has stated he wants to turn the area into somewhere they don’t want to go. Yes, it’s similar to a nightclub, and all of the superstars are amazing, but much too often, there were many more rival fans present.
I believe Pierce will make a shift. 2024 will be a very different year, in my opinion.
