Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter doesn’t want his team’s fans to make tickets available to Raiders fans for Sunday’s game. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio has a different bit of advice for Tampa Bay residents: “Sell.”
“They’re a big presence,” Del Rio said recently regarding the fans of his team, via Jimmy Durkin of the East Bay Times. “We really appreciate their support. They do a tremendous job.
“Our fans travel. Wherever we’ve been thus far, they’ve been there in large numbers and I think it’ll be the same. Come on out Raider Nation. We’re excited about it.”
Koetter surely isn’t, but there’s not much he can do about it. Fans can sell their tickets if they want, and if Raiders fans are sufficiently motivated to pay a premium to get them, get them they will.
