Raiders-Lions Game Sold Out, Will Be Televised

[Sweets]

A Raiders official just delivered the good word: Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions is sold out, and it will be televised locally. That makes the Raiders 7-for-7 in terms of sold-out regular-season home games this season. That, folks, is the first time since the Raiders relocated to Oakland in 1995 that they sold out more than six home games in one season.

geez, they're barely selling out and they're in the middle of a division race. i can understand perennial losing teams having trouble selling out, especially later in the season when they're out of the playoff race, but the raiders are right in the midst of the playoff hunt.
