Raiders return to L.A. Coliseum for first time since 1994
The Raiders are visiting their former home for the first time in more than two decades.
On Saturday, the Oakland Raiders head to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to face the L.A. Rams. It marks the first time the Silver and Black will play at the Coliseum since 1994 when the team left L.A. for Oakland, per the team's official website.
Jon Gruden's Raiders started the preseason off well last week with a home win over the Detroit Lions. Saturday's visit to L.A. will be a different test against Sean McVay's Rams. McVay has often been compared to Gruden, who also earned his first head coaching gig (with Oakland) at a young age. Gruden gave McVay his first NFL job, as a 22-year-old coaching assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2008.
You can catch the Raiders return to L.A. at 4 p.m. ET live on NFL Network.
Driving up to LA Coliseum seems to be many more #RAIDERS fans than #LARams fans in the line waiting to get into parking lots, which haven’t yet opened pic.twitter.com/ZxpM8ViRjn
