The Las Vegas Raiders have won two of their last three games and now face an important contest against the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. And heading into that matchup, it sounds like the Raiders want their fans to bring the juice.
During a press conference this week, Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams made it clear that he wants the Raiders fans to create a hostile environment for opposing teams.
“I came here with the intentions of making it tough on teams coming in this building and not making it a friendly place to play,” wide receiver Davante Adams said according to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We’re starting to feel that from our fans now, so we just gotta continue to do our part, team-wise, to make sure we apply that pressure and make it a not fun place to come here and play.”
Interim head coach Antonio Pierce echoes that sentiment from Adams.
“Allegiant Stadium has to be ours . . . That Black Hole has to be real,” Pierce said. “And when we make that a consensus effort and a mindset, and the fans do the same, it’s a hell of a place to play.”
Oftentimes, Vegas games are filled with tourists visiting the city. But it’s clear that the team wants a dedicated group of fans in the stands this week.
