How to Dress for a Raiders Game

Going to an Oakland Raiders game can be a great way to spend an evening, especially if you are a fan of the team. However, a live football game can be a long event, especially if the weather is cold or your team is losing. At home games, the Raiders play in the Overstock.com Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., and fans are exposed to the elements. When you dress for the game, emphasize comfort rather than looks.

Instructions

    • 1

      Check the local weather forecast. For home games, dress appropriately for the weather in Oakland. For away games, dress for the part of the country the game is in.

      Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You will be sitting in the same seat for more than three hours, so wear something that won't pinch you or bother you. You also may need to leap up and cheer, so wear something that won't slip or expose too much.

      Dress in layers. The temperature may change drastically over the course of the game, and you will be most comfortable if you can put on and remove layers easily.

    • 4

      Wear black and silver to show support for the team. It is not mandatory to wear team colors to a Raiders game, but it can be fun, and it can help other Raiders fans identify you.

      Wear something to block the sun. Depending on what side of the stadium you are seated on, you may have the sun glaring in your eyes, so wear a cap with a brim or some sunglasses.

      Paint your face in team colors. You can buy black and silver face paint at a craft store. If you paint your face elaborately enough, you may show up on television.
