Raiders Sell Out Sunday's Game That Will Feature Tributes To Al Davis

The Raiders have announced a sellout for Sunday's game against the Browns, the team's third consecutive sellout and "the first time they've had three consecutive games televised since 2008." The game will feature a pregame tribute to late Raiders Owner Al Davis, who died on Saturday, and a "halftime ceremony as well as video tributes throughout the game." Raiders CEO Amy Trask: "We encourage our fans to enter the stadium earlier than they might otherwise to join us in a moment of silence preceding the national anthem" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 10/14).

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers' game against the Saints on Sunday did not sell out before yesterday's 4:00pm ET deadline and "therefore will be blacked out locally." About 55,000 tickets for the game had been sold by the deadline (TAMPABAY.com, 10/13).
