The great Cliff Branch.His passing put a somber note on what should have otherwise been a celebration of NFL achievement. The NFL world mourned his passing.Raiders statement:“Cliff Branch touched the lives of generations of Raiders fans. His loss leaves an eternal void for the Raiders Family, but his kindness and loving nature will be fondly remembered forever. Cliff’s on-field accomplishments are well documented and undeniably Hall of Fame worthy, but his friendship and smile are what the Raider Nation will always cherish.”Or as Mark Davis said...Here is a short video that was posted which reminds you of how revered Cliff Branch was with a few Hall of Famers saying without reservation that he was a Hall of Fame player.I tweeted this the day before he passed, when the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced they would be inducting 10 senior era players next year.A year too late.

COO, Don Webb, announced at Thursday’s stadium authority board meeting that the Raiders are in the final stages of a comprehensive transportation plan that will add a significant amount of parking to the stadium, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.“We’ve been actively acquiring real estate near the stadium Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Jersey , which we intend to develop and devote to parking,” Webb said. “One such current acquisition will more than double the parking that we currently control.”There are only 2,725 parking spots at the stadium itself, but the Raiders have designated nearly 12,000 additional parking spots at other areas in the stadium vicinity. The newly purchased land would, according to Webb, more than double the parking, which should bring on-site parking spaces to nearly 6,000. The county requires at least 16,250 parking spaces dedicated to the stadium for this project, and the new additions will help the stadium exceed that requirement.Some 40% of gameday attendees will be from outside of the Las Vegas area Marshawn Lynch Jersey , and the Raiders have plenty of ideas on how to get people from place to place, including a pedestrian bridge and, in the future, an underground people mover brought to you by billionaire playboy philanthropist nerd Elon Musk. The Raiders are also developing partnerships with companies surrounding the stadium (read: casinos) to set up a parking cooperative, and are also looking to lease additional parking areas as well.Parking has always been a major concern since the Las Vegas move was announced, because a lot of the land surrounding the stadium is either casinos or entirely undeveloped. Tailgating is a huge part of the Raider Nation experience and without any additional parking, fans may have had to tailgate in a casino parking lot and then walk a considerable distance to the stadium itself. With the new real estate acquisitions, Raider Nation may be able to enjoy tailgating experiences more like what they are accustomed to in Oakland, before they head inside the palatial $1.8 billion stadium.
