The one game I went to in Oakland, we sat on the 45 yard line, 20 some rows up, and behind the Raider bench. It was awesome seating. My biggest piece of advice would be to sit behind the Raider bench, just so you can see your own players and coaches and not the ugly opposing ones. _________________ First jersey purchased: Jamarcus Russell.

I'm considering coming to the US for the home opener vs San Diego and I'm contemplating whether I come like a Middle Eastern Prince or a London Thug. The club seats are cheap, HOWEVER, I think I'll get chucked out from excessive swearing and noise which is why the black hole would be the best place for me.
Any suggestions as to whether I should choose club over Black Hole? _________________

Is that a good view and atmosphere? I don't really want to be in the family section because I have a bit of a foul mouth when Oakland plays games lol _________________

Expensive? A Pepsi costs amillion dollars in the UK. Club seats at an American Football game is the equivalent of getting a few bananas and a piece of licorice from your local grocery store.
But for experience, sit in the stands. Nothing like chatting it up and embracing complete strangers covered in beer like they were family. Probably have more stories to take with you as well. _________________ Bah-Weep-Granah-Weep-Nini-Bong

My advice is don't sit in the black hole if you want to observe and enjoy the football part of the game. If you are just going to get really loaded and are there for the party then the black hole is perfect.
Last year I sat 3rd row sec 116 I believe and it was really good to see the players and celebs at the game ie ice cube mc hammer and even talked to Amy trask. But we were to close to see the whole field as that side of the stadium is low. You can't see over the players.
I am sitting this year for Monday night opener in sec 144 row 13(right behind the chargers bench) and I believe these will be perfect to see everything and yet be close enough to harass Philip.
So over the years I have sat all over the stadium and it really depends on the experience you are looking for while at the game. It will be fun regardless as long as you don't sit up at the top in the 300's that was the worst choice I have made going to that stadium.
And by the way don't expect a nice gorgeous stadium or backdrop for the stadium as it is in a rough part of town and its a crappy stadium to begin with. It fits the nation perfectly though and there is no other place like it. Make sure to go early enough to walk around and check out the tailgating. It's a good time. _________________

I've never had a problem with cursing at the coliseum, most people are so into the game that they don't give a ish about any of that. I've always had the best time in the black hole tho, great experience all the time and a great view of the game(when they're driving away from you the big screen is right infront of you). You'll have a good time anywhere tho
