"I think it just goes to show you, once a Raider, always a Raider. We have very loyal fans. It's going to be heartbreaking in some ways. It's going to be ultra-exciting in others to see the future of this franchise."

Kickoff is set for 5:00 Saturday night at the Coliseum. The Raiders regular-season opener closes out week 1 on September 9th, a Monday Night Football matchup hosting Denver a game you will see right here on ABC7.
