There’s no question, the Bay Area market is on the rise. Big names like Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and now Kevin Durant have the media buzzing. Forbes has the Golden State Warriors valued at 2.6 billion dollars.

There’s no question, the Bay Area market is on the rise. Big names like Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and now Kevin Durant have the media buzzing. Forbes has the Golden State Warriors valued at 2.6 billion dollars. Of course there is no other person to thank than the MVP himself, Steph Curry, who began the meteoric rise of the Warriors franchise. Oakland is without a doubt, the hottest place to be. So then why leave?

The Raiders faithful also have big stars and are at the dawn of a new era: A winning era. Like the Warriors, the Oakland Raiders are also projected to have millions more added to their worth. Derek Carr has taken the reigns of a struggling franchise and has captivated the hearts and mind of its beloved fans. With a supporting cast featuring Amari Cooper, Khalil Mack, Michael Crabtree, and now Oakland’s own Marshawn Lynch, everyone in Oakland is excited about what’s to come. Like the Golden State Warriors, people outside the Bay are buying in. Oakland is slowly but surely becoming America’s team. This season they have national spotlight showdowns with the Cowboys, Patriots and Giants. In the midst of this rebirth, is a painful reality: The Oakland Raiders will become the Las Vegas Raiders. With one of the most loyal fan-bases in the NFL, it won’t matter if they moved to Pluto. They will continue to receive undying support and love. Joseph Lacob (Golden State Warriors majority owner) withstood all the ‘boos’ to give back to the fans. Mark Davis (Raider’s Owner) had a different idea, move to Vegas.

Multiple franchises on the rise are better than one in any town. Hang in there Raider Nation.
