History of the Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders have a long and storied history in the NFL. From their beginnings as the Oakland-Los Angeles Raiders to their current home in Nevada, they’ve been one of the most successful teams in league history. They’ve won three Super Bowls, appeared in five others, and had some of the greatest players ever to play professional football wear its silver and black colors.

The team was founded by Al Davis who owned it for over four decades until his death at age 82 on October 8th, 2011. He is widely credited with revolutionizing pro football with his innovative offensive schemes that helped create an explosive passing game that has become commonplace today throughout all levels of competition from high school through college into a professional ball where it's still used today by many teams including those coached by former Raider assistant coaches like Jon Gruden & Hue Jackson both now head coaches elsewhere after having served under Davis during their respective tenures as assistants there.

The franchise began playing out West when they moved from Oakland/Alameda County Coliseum (now known simply as “the Coliseum") across San Francisco Bay into Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during the 1982 season due largely to legal issues between owner Al Davis & city officials regarding stadium lease terms so rather than continue litigating them he decided instead just move southward down highway 101 while taking along all but two players who stayed behind either via trade or retirement before this relocation took place. This stay would be short-lived however because after only 14 seasons there were again problems brewing between management & local government about usage rights for what became then known as "LA Sports Arena" so once more Mr. Davis packed up shop moving eastward towards the Nevada desert where new state-of-the art Allegiant Stadium awaits them upon completion expected sometime later 2021 year... Thus far since arriving in Sin City 2016 season record stands at 35 wins against 33 losses 1 tie plus a playoff appearance 2017 campaign made a total of 37 victories 36 defeats 1 draw overall thus far though the final tally will depend on how the upcoming 2020 schedule plays out course given COVID 19 pandemic ongoing uncertainty looms large here too especially if games played without fans attendance allowed venues themselves due health safety concerns related virus spread risk... So whatever happens rest assured Las Vegas Raiders shall remain a part competitive force within National Football League despite recent changes in leadership personnel location etcetera always striving to achieve excellence in both fields whether chasing Lombardi Trophy or another championship title or something else entirely!
