The Oakland Raiders was first created as an expansion team of the AFL.
The team has been very successful over the years; it has 15 division and 4 conference championships besides 3 Super Bowl titles.
However; the Raiders have had to face countless situations such as their 1982 move to Los Angeles which ended in a lawsuit but the team managed to finally play during that year’s campaign and only a decade later the team returned to Oakland and has remained there ever since.
Additionally, during the 2003 to 2005 seasons the Raiders had the lowest attendance due to high ticket pricing. There is also a lawsuit from the team against the NFL itself as the Raiders claim constant interference from the League regarding the building of a new stadium.
Amongst the team’s most known rivals we can mention: the New York Jets since 1960; New England Patriots since the late 1970’s and the Pittsburgh Steelers as of the 1976 AFC Championship.
Since the 2003 season the team has gone through many ups and downs not being able to participate in the post-season neither obtaining a title.
