Harsh reality for the working-class Raiders fan

Love the costumes, Raiders fans, and the enthusiasm you showed Thursday night in Oakland at the third stop in the NFL’s Shakedown Tour.

But here’s the hard truth: You’re not getting a new stadium in Oakland.

If by some miracle the Raiders do get a new stadium in Oakland, you will be priced out of it.

You fans pride yourselves on being working-class and blue-collar. If the Raiders wind up in a new stadium, guess who will pay to build it? Go find a mirror. Then go apply for a third job.

When the 49ers moved to Levi’s Stadium, ticket prices tripled, at least.
