At a time when it seems like the list of teams facing blackouts is growing, not shrinking, a team that lately has had a very hard time selling tickets has sold out its home opener.
The Raiders’ Week Three game against the Jets will be televised locally.
Per the Associated Press, the Raiders announced on Thursday that the blackout has been lifted.
The Raiders sold out only one game in each of the past two seasons. At one point, 14 straight games were blacked out.
