The Las Vegas Raiders moved to from Oakland to Sin City and have done more losing than winning. Allegiant Stadium is the only place in the city where the house doesn’t always win. The odds are always in the favor of the visiting team and their fan base that takes over.
It’s gotten so bad that a devoted 40-year-old Raiders fan with three decades of loyalty to the team recently made a heartfelt statement that he simply cannot do it anymore. The guy cited the detrimental impact it has had on his mental health.
He described the last 20 years of the Raiders as “the darkest of the darkest days” for the franchise.
Since moving to Vegas, the Raiders have had one season above .500 where they made the playoffs just to lose in the Wild Card round. Overall, the team has qualified for the playoffs twice since 2003 and just five times since 1994. That is pretty horrible.
The last playoff victory came in 2002 when the team made it and lost in the Super Bowl. Since then, there has been this dark cloud over the franchise that nobody can turn bright again.
The current team is 1-2 and star WR Davante Adams already sounds like a man who regrets coming there and wants out.

The billion-dollar stadium has never been a home game since opposing fans took it over so the team essentially plays 17 road games a year unless they are playing the Chargers or Rams at SoFi Stadium and their real fan base in the area comes out to support.
Prayers are high for Raiders fans.
