An Oakland Raiders tailgate is unlike any other. The scene walks a line between jovial and menacing, striking a balance appropriate for pirate revelry. Fans garb themselves in elaborate, fierce wardrobe and makeup. Whole pigs are roasted over coals. It’s performance; it’s decadence; it’s a good time, but for OAkland the good times are coming to an end as the team relocates to Las Vegas. Portraits made in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot.
