Raiders Season Ticket Members Get An Official Conference Call

Any questions? Any answers?

Well, the Oakland Raiders are inviting the former, and in return they promise the latter. 

The Oakland Raiders are calling YOU tomorrow!

An email to season ticket holders arrived late last week to announce a team conference call. Here is what it said:

"(name), got questions? We've got answers.

It has been an exciting off-season so far, and it's time to share our enthusiasm with our loyal fans. Included as a benefit in your Season Ticket Member package,we will be hosting a post-draft conference call with General Manager Reggie McKenzie and Head Coach Jack Del Rio.

We look forward to your participation as we prepare for another great season of Raiders football.

Questions on the team's prospects for the upcoming season? Questions on hiring a new Offensive Coordinator after the guy who who had brought Carr to MVP levels in 2016 was let go?

Answers on making sure a new Carr contract will not "Flacco" the team's future prospects?
Answers on what priority (if any) the current long-term season ticket holders will have in choosing the best seats in the new Stadium over the residents of Las Vegas?

This type of customer outreach by the Oakland Raiders is to be commended, certainly. We can hope that the information given is truly informative and candid...for example, it might not be helpful to hear the generic statement, "We're just concentrating on what happens on the field", when a season ticket holder on this conference call asks about the Vegas move. 

Tickets cost too much money, and with the expensive expectation from everyone in Nevada that Oakland folks will travel to Vegas for 3-day weekends eight times every year to support that stadium's financing, it would be considered a personal dereliction to not ask these questions at tomorrow's Raiders conference call. 

You can be a true fan without being a rah-rah. Oakland Raiders fans are respected nationwide for our knowledge, and our knowledge about football goes beyond what happens on the field.

Here's to tomorrow's call. 

Yours,
