The Raiders schedule is out and the home schedule has some interesting games that should be big tourism and visitor draws. Here’s a look at the home games:

Naturally, the home divisional games with the Broncos and Chiefs will draw big numbers of fans from Denver Oct. 2 and Kansas City for the final game of the 17-game schedule. Expect lots of 49ers fans from the Bay area when the Raiders host San Francisco on Jan. 1, 2023.

Eight of the 17 games are home games after the Raiders hosted nine home games last season. The schedule’s last two games are home games.

The Raiders were 10-7 last season, finishing as the top-seeded wild card team. But the Raiders lost their playoff game against the Bengals, a Super Bowl finalist.

The Raiders have the most expensive average ticket in the NFL at $153.47 and finished 26th in the 32-team league in attendance with 61,185 per game last season. It was the first Raiders season in Las Vegas with fans at Allegiant Stadium.
