49ers lost a lot of faithful last year by first moving out of San Francisco, then by jacking seat licensing/ticketing prices into the stratosphere, and finally by front office adoption of arrogant assholes status. Raiders attendance turnaround started in 2014.

when I lived near 16th Street BART I could get to the Coliseum in about 35 minutes (with a direct train).
