ANyone been to a game at the Black Hole?

exiled · 08-22-2011, 08:29 PM

I am new to Oakland and plan to go to the game. I know it is pre-season but... The O does have her reputation...

Mind you I have been to games at the link and Raven's Stadium (andof course ATL, TB and Charlotte) and a few others - but the Link and Ravens also have reputations and despite a little bit of ice throwing (to be expected I guess) I didnt have a bad experience.

I don't wear NFL gear (dont want to get side tracked on that) but I do wear the black and GOLD.

Just looking for first hand anecdotes from anyone that has been there. I am on the visitors side 13th row mid field.

Will I live? I am pushing 50 5-7 and 120 soaking wet.

Just look up some youtube vids of their games. It's safer.
