The Raiders played their final game in Oakland last week, and with that, some of their longtime fans also bid adieu.
As a sign of how the franchise’s move to Las Vegas will impact the fanbase, one notorious superfan is retiring from following the team because he has been priced out.
Wayne Mabry, aka “Violator,” has donned face paint and silver and black attire every week for 28 years in the Coliseum’s Black Hole. But he won’t be taking the show on the road to Las Vegas when the team moves next season.
‘I’m being evicted’
Mabry, 63, said that while he will continue to be a fan, he cannot afford tickets in the shiny new Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.
