Raiders seek to build fan support in Las Vegas as they aim for home-field edge

The Las Vegas Raiders have started the season 3-0 and will host the also unbeaten Chiefs on Sunday. Defensive end Max Crosby said the team must prove itself to the city’s fans to create a true home-field advantage at Allegiant Stadium.

Crosby noted that unlike the established fan bases in Oakland and Los Angeles, Las Vegas does not yet have a deep-rooted Raiders following. > "We’re new to this city and we have to win. The fans come out, they want to see a winner. We have to earn that," he said.

He added that consistent victories are essential for drawing crowds and building passion. > "We take it one day at a time and keep earning the respect, and love and passion for the fans. We know the fans have it, to fill that stadium every Sunday with Silver and Black, we’ve got to continue winning and keep putting a great product out there for the fans," Crosby said.

A win over the Chiefs could further engage Las Vegas residents and solidify the Raiders’ presence in the market.
