Oakland & San Fran area....

So going to my first Raiders home game this season.... deciding which is best, get a hotel in Oakland near the stadium (which nothing much around) or perhaps downtown (probably not much better to see/do)..... OR... would it be better to stay across the bay in San Francisco and get hotel there, take the BART transit to the Stadium in Oakland, as probably alot more to do/see in downtown SF and around the city, plus I am staying 3 nights for sure do some sights...

suggestions? Anyone stay in SF or OAK for a game and can recommend where to stay or how easy is it to travel over to OAK from downtown SF? Talked to others and they all say take the BART and nicer in SF to stay... just thought I'd ask here see if any Niner or other Raider fans have done the same.

Cheers

If you're a Raider fan, make sure you go to Rickeys Sports Bar.

Bone, I'm also going to my first raider home game this year. If I get any information I will let you know.

thanks southern, actually think I decided on this..

Gonna stay in Oakland (downtown) on Sat and Sun... I want to hit some bars and mingle other Raider fans, and yes for sure Rickeys Bar. Then Monday will head over to SF and stay 1 night there.... so this way I get to experience both cities....

what game you attending southern?

Stay in the SF City and take bart...Not much to see or do in Oaktown.
