All the fans are gone from Oakland Coliseum. The field remains with OAKLAND in the north end zone, RAIDERS in the south end zone, and the Raiders shield in the center.
But it won’t be here for much longer, so before the Oakland motorcycle cops headed home for the night from their shift at the Coliseum, they rode in to get a shot with the shield before it’s wiped away along with the rest of the field and the team from the city.
It was like “What the hell?” when the bikes rode in single file through the southeast corner of the stadium. But it quickly became clear what they were doing. They circled around and lined up above the shield for a group photo. They even turned on their red and blue flashing lights. They’ll have that for their memories.
They’re still the Oakland Raiders for two more weeks, but their final two games are on the road in Los Angeles and Denver, so that’s it for the Raiders in Oakland. Next season they will call Las Vegas home.
