Veteran ticket broker Jim Boone believes Las Vegas will replace Miami and Tampa Bay as popular destinations for the NFL fans in other markets. “It’s Vegas,” said Matt Wild, a 30-year-old in Ravens purple.Ī carpenter from Baltimore, Wild had never previously visited Las Vegas. In case you were wondering, there was no SpongeBob vehicle. A scantily clad woman walked in front of a two-story party bus, holding a chain attached to its front bumper. A Mad Max-themed float circled the stadium. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Diaz said. The 44-year-old has cheered for the Raiders since he was a child in Echo Park. “They probably could have planned it a little better,” said Jose Diaz of San Dimas, who traveled to the game with his brother Peter and a couple of friends. The trouble was the heat, temperatures reaching 105 degrees in the early afternoon. The problem wasn’t the distance, the walk starting under the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay and leading pedestrians over Interstate 15. The near-altercation made what was already an uncomfortable walk even more uncomfortable. “You know you’re going to get s-,” someone said chuckling. The couple in the 49ers jerseys ignored him and walked away, onlookers joking about how brave they were to come to a Raiders game dressed like that. If he was joking before, he wasn’t now, screaming how the man in the Kittle jersey supported the “wrong team” and making physically threatening gestures. The man in the Raiders shirt started walking faster and closed the distance between him and his target. “You’re all up in your feelings,” the fan in the Kittle jersey responded. “Your woman is afraid!” someone in a Raiders shirt screamed at a man in a George Kittle jersey. More menacing words were targeted at a man and woman in San Francisco 49ers jerseys. Playful taunts were directed at the surprising number of fans in Ravens gear.
