The Raiders fans also travel to see them.
When they were in Oakland, Sunday evening at the Oakland Airport was always interesting.
Fans going back to LA, San Diego, Vegas, and about 10 other towns out of the SouthWest terminal.

I'm sure Raiders fans from LA, San Diego, now Oakland, and other metros will travel to Vegas, and like the article stated, make a vist around that game.
