ANNUAL RAIDER MYSPACERS TAILGATE

     AT ONE POINT IT WAS JUST A THOUGHT, MAYBE EVEN A JOKE BETWEEN A FEW PEOPLE ON MYSPACE. TO ORGANIZE A TAILGATE FOR MEMBERS OF THE RAIDER NATION THAT FREQUENT MYSPACE. THE CATCH WAS... NO ONE REALLY KNEW EACH OTHER. IT TOOK A LOT OF FAITH IN THE BELIEF OF THE RAIDER NATION. THE BELIEF OF THE BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN TRUE RAIDER FANS TO MAKE THIS A REALITY.

     AS THE THOUGHT TURNED INTO MORE OF AN IDEA EVEN MORE RAIDER FANS CAME ON BOARD YOU STARTED TO SEE WHO WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTED AND READY TO HELP ORGANIZE THIS CRAZY EVENT. THEN THE IDEA TURNED INTO A PLAN. A MYSPACE GROUP WAS FORMED TO HELP ORGANIZE THE EVENT AND KEEP AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION. EVEN MORE RAIDER FANS WERE COMING ON BOARD AND THE GROUP HELP OVER 100 MEMBERS. 

     ON THE DAY OF OCTOBER 1st, 2006 THE IDEA BECAME A REALITY. 40-50 RAIDER FANS THAT HAVE NEVER REALLY MET EACH OTHER CAME TOGETHER IN THE RV SECTION OF THE McCAFEE COLISEUM. IT WAS A SUCCESS WITH FANS COMING FROM THE OAKLAND AREA, LOS ANGELES AREA, CENTRAL CA, LAS VEGAS, ARIZONA, DELEWARE, NEW JERSEY, VIRGINIA, AND NEW YORK WHO FOR THE FIRST TIME MET EACH OF THE TAILGATE. WITH THE NAME OF THE EVENT SHOWN ON THE SCOREBOARD DURING THE GAME AND THE MEET & GREET HELD THE NIGHT BEFORE AT THE WORLD FAMOUS RICKY'S SPORTS BAR. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT PERFECT. THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND HELPED ORGANIZE THE FIRST TAILGATE.

     THE "2ND ANNUAL RAIDER MYSPACERS TAILGATE" TOOK PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2007 AND HAD OVER 120 ATTENDEES COMING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. WITH PETE'S "HI ROLLER RAIDER" CUSTOM SHOW TRUCK ON THE SITE THE TAILGATE WAS A SUCCESS. RAIDER FANS FROM THE OAKLAND AREA, LOS ANGELES AREA, SAN DIEGO AREA, ARIZONA, LAS VEGAS, NEW JERSEY, OHIO, NEW YORK, VIRGINIA, SEATTLE, MARYLAND, AND WASHINGTON D.C. THESE MEMBERS OF THE RAIDER NATION ONCE AGAIN UNITED THROUGH MYSPACE.

     FROM A THOUGHT TO A REALITY... THE "ANNUAL RAIDER MYSPACERS TAILGATES" DEFINE THE BELIEF AND THE MEANING OF THE RAIDER NATION.
