The county requires at least 16,250 parking

ALAMEDA Antonio Brown Jersey White , Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders punter Johnny Townsend is plenty thankful that he doesn’t have to cover Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill as a defender.Dealing with Hill on special teams is challenging enough as is, even if it is for only two or three plays a game.Hill has given opponents fits since entering the league as an unheralded fifth-round draft pick in 2016. He’s been voted to the Pro Bowl as a returner in each of his first two seasons in the league and is likely to make it three for three this year.As much as the Raiders have focused on slowing down the Chiefs‘ high-octane offense this week, trying to prevent Hill from breaking loose on special teams has been an equally big emphasis.“He’s an unbelievable athlete and he’s somebody we circle on the calendar every single year. Not only him but that team in general,” Townsend said. “We’re going to do everything we can to limit his returns and try to flip the field.”Saying it and doing it are often two different things, especially when it comes to the Raiders this season.Hill is sixth in the NFL with an 11.6-yard average this year. He had a 91-yard punt return for a touchdown in the opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 9 that remains the longest return in the league this year.That’s a significant dip from his rookie season when Hill had a 15.2-yard average but most of that is a result of teams no longer willing to kick the ball in his direction or preferring to pin him to a side, something Townsend said the Raiders most definitely will attempt to do this week.“Just trying to shrink the field as much as we can and not give him the field to run to is going to be really important,” Townsend said. “As long as we can execute in that aspect I think we’ll be OK. It really is kind of a test for yourself as a punter, especially knowing how successful he’s been in the NFL as a return man.“I’ve been watching him for years in college. Every time I turn on an NFL game and see him play it’s just like, ‘Man that guy’s a tough guy to kick to.’ This is my first opportunity to do it so I’m excited to see how it goes.”Townsend has had mixed results during his rookie season. A fifth-round draft pick, Townsend is averaging 43.5 yards but has had three games where he failed to average more than 38 yards.Not all of the problems have been on Townsend. During last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Raiders surrendered a 70-yard return for a touchdown to Baltimore’s Cyrus Jones, who was never touched while weaving around Oakland’s coverage unit.“We have to do a better job than we did last week,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. “We gave them a low-hanging punt that gave (Jones) a two-way go, and that’s hard to defend. If we do that against this guy, we’ll have very little chance to win this game. This guy is really unique. Tyreek Hill Bo Jackson Jersey White , he’s a unique skill set. You have to limit his opportunities every way you can, on offense and in the kicking game.” The Las Vegas Stadium Co.

COO, Don Webb, announced at Thursday’s stadium authority board meeting that the Raiders are in the final stages of a comprehensive transportation plan that will add a significant amount of parking to the stadium, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.“We’ve been actively acquiring real estate near the stadium, which we intend to develop and devote to parking,” Webb said. “One such current acquisition will more than double the parking that we currently control.”There are only 2,725 parking spots at the stadium itself, but the Raiders have designated nearly 12,000 additional parking spots at other areas in the stadium vicinity. The newly purchased land would, according to Webb, more than double the parking, which should bring on-site parking spaces to nearly 6 https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey ,000. spaces dedicated to the stadium for this project, and the new additions will help the stadium exceed that requirement.Some 40% of gameday attendees will be from outside of the Las Vegas area, and the Raiders have plenty of ideas on how to get people from place to place, including a pedestrian bridge and, in the future, an underground people mover brought to you by billionaire playboy philanthropist nerd Elon Musk. The Raiders are also developing partnerships with companies surrounding the stadium (read: casinos) to set up a parking cooperative, and are also looking to lease additional parking areas as well.Parking has always been a major concern since the Las Vegas move was announced, because a lot of the land surrounding the stadium is either casinos or entirely undeveloped. Tailgating is a huge part of the Raider Nation experience and without any additional parking, fans may have had to tailgate in a casino parking lot and then walk a considerable distance to the stadium itself. With the new real estate acquisitions, Raider Nation may be able to enjoy tailgating experiences more like what they are accustomed to in Oakland, before they head inside the palatial $1.8 billion stadium.
