Oakland, CA - Just over 12,000 Raider fans descended upon McAfee Coliseum on Oakland to get a glimpse of their beloved 2007 Raiders football team. Just like last year, the fans were allowed to travel throughout the Coliseum and stand next to and take pictures with the Raiders' three Lombardi trophies, take pictures with the Raiderettes, and the player's lockerroom. Plus, fans were given a chance to experience life in the exclusive West and East Side Clubs of the stadiums and get autographs by the players.
In addition to seeing and listening to Raider Legends of the Gridiron, for the first time the fans were treated to an actual training camp session at the Oakland Coliseum! Fans were able to watch QB/Wide Receiver drills, special teams workouts, along with 1-on-1, 7-on-7, and 11-on11 drills.
The day was highlighted by the players "letting their hair down" and interacting with the fans. RB LaMont Jordan played catch with some fans in the field level seats, players threw footballs into the stands (and almost nailed a fan eating his nachos), and a rare sight of the gregarious DT Warren Sapp dancing HEARTILY in the endzone as I would imagine he would if he were in a nightclub gettin' "Crunk" with Adam 'Pacman' Jones "making it rain" or out on the ave. with rapper E-40 and Keak the Sneak gettin' Hyphy (if you're from the Bay Area or from the South, you know EXACTLY what I mean). It stirred the crowds in attendance into a tizzy as chants of "WAR-REN-SAPP...WAR-REN-SAPP" could be heard throughout.
It was a day for the entire family and was punctuated by several players coming to the mic to address the fans. Most notable was that same 'Hyphy' Warren Sapp speaking to the fans and bringing the crowd to their feet and getting them pumped for the regular season.
