MORE TV Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hey man how your doing.I've alway wondered why is it while the Raiders was still playing in Los Angeles that they never hosted a MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME. Was is because there was no light at the Coloseium at the time or what. MONICA SANTA MARIA (DEC 6 1972- MAR 15 1994)KRISSY TAYLOR (MAY 15 1978- JUL 3 1995)YOU WILL BE MISS.

Was is because there was no light at the Coloseium at the time or what. Well here is why the Coliseum was sooooooooooooooo big it never sold out so rather then have a black out for MNF in the LA market they did not have any Raider home games. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here is why the Coliseum was sooooooooooooooo big it never sold out so rather then have a black out for MNF in the LA market they did not have any Raider home games.The blackout rule also apply for MNF?The blackout rule applies for every single game the NFL plays, even the Super Bowl. Of course, the Super Bowl will never be blacked out again and I think Super Bowl I, the only one that didn't sell out, is the only one that's ever been blacked out.

TFoA Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'd also like to add that for the longest there's been a supposed "conspiracy" against the Raiders, and them not having any MNF games at the Coliseum would add fuel to that fire.I think it's funny. Al Davis vs. the NFL makes so much sense, but Tank's explanation makes even more sense. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until the final years in L.A. that the Coliseum had a reduced seating capacity, going from 92,000 to 67,000. But even then, the sellouts for Raiders (and Rams) home games were still pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORE TV Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Too bad because I think everyone will agreed with me that there is alway special about having primetime NFL game in your own city. I'm mean if the Rams was still in LA that their game vs. the Steelers last month was going to be a big deal locally as I found when I was living in San Diego during the Bobby Ross era Chargers runs.

(Then they went and half-a$$ed the ceremony...making them look like fools and a joke shop operation to all watching in the process.)

Seriously-Raider fans are much scarier than Browns fans. On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.
