In light of the unprecedented circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the vibrant tradition of Raiders super-fans gathering at Allegiant Stadium to take group photos was temporarily halted in 2020. As fans were unable to attend games due to restrictions, this promising practice was put on hold, leaving a void in the hearts of dedicated Raider supporters that bleed silver and black.
However, amidst these challenging times, one particular Raider Super-fan named “Power Raider” took it upon himself to reignite the spirit of camaraderie and community among fellow fans.
