Raiders House in Baltimore Shows Extent of Fanbase
Whether the team is winning or losing, the Las Vegas Raiders fanbase will always show support for the Silver and Black; after all, they are called Raider Nation.
Even as the team has missed the postseason in eight of the last 10 seasons, Raiders fans will appear in Allegiant Stadium and opposing stadiums every game.
Raider Nation is not afraid to support the team in several ways, from wearing team gear to lining the walls of their homes with helmets and jerseys of Raiders legends.
That is the setup for a Baltimore, Md., home with such a Raider-unique interior. Listed in southern Baltimore on Zillow, one Raiders fan’s home displays Raiders helmets and autographed jerseys of legendary players such as quarterback Ken Stabler, wide receiver Tim Brown and safety Jack Tatum.
The home also features jerseys of center Jim Otto, running back Bo Jackson and defensive end Howie Long. There is also a table that displays a large Raiders logo.

This Raider-laden home in Baltimore shows how far the Silver and Black fan base can reach. Raiders fans can be anywhere in the country, including the home of another NFL team like the Ravens.
For the owner of a 1-bed, 1-bath, 1,450 square foot home to be such a dedicated Raiders fan in a town with a successful team like the Ravens shows exactly how much influence the team has had in its history as a storied professional football franchise.
The Raiders have prominent fan bases in Las Vegas, Oakland and Los Angeles, as those cities have played host to them over the years, but Baltimore is rather unprecedented.
Former Raiders linebacker Matt Millen said it best to our Hondo S. Carpenter, Sr., years ago when he was the general manager of the Detroit Lions: "Every fan in the NFL thinks they are part of the team, but with the Raiders, the players and the organization feel that way about the fans, that they are part of it."
The Raiders and Ravens have played some exciting games over the years. The Ravens are 9-4 in 13 games all-time against the Raiders. The Ravens won the AFC Championship Game in 2001 over the Raiders, 16-3, as they would go on to win Super Bowl XXXV.
However, Las Vegas won the most recent match-up in Week 1 of the 2021 season, an overtime thriller that ended with wide receiver Zay Jones catching the game-winning touchdown pass.
No matter where Raider Nation resides across the map, the fans always show pride for their favorite team. This Baltimore home offers truly how deep the fan base runs, even in a town with another historically successful franchise like the Ravens.
The Silver and Black will stay on the road to take on the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Oct. 30, at 8:15 p.m. EDT/5:15 p.m. PDT.
