I was in Vegas during the Raiders/Browns game - most of the crowd was Browns fans. That's what most Raiders home games are now - effectively away games with most fans for the visiting team.
Mark Davis got the shiny new stadium that his dad never got built in Oakland or LA, but the fan experience seems pretty sad. And John Fisher, probably the worst owner in professional team sports, gets a brand new stadium for his terrible baseball team off the strip. Good for these guys, bad for everyone else - especially the people of Vegas, who need to foot the bill for these rich, stunningly incompetent owners.

I was also at the Raiders/Browns game on 9/29. Inside the stadium the crowd was at least 60/40 in favor of the Raiders and probably closer to 65/35ish. Still, not a good "home field advantage" with that ratio.
I posit that once the Raiders begin winning more consistently the Raider ticket holders won't be putting their tickets up for sale only to be gobbled up by eager visiting teams fans.
Just my overpriced two cents worth.
