Rachel Crosby describes early concerns about Raiders fan base

Rachel Crosby, wife of Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, recently recounted her initial apprehension regarding the team's fan base during her husband's early career. During an interview on the team's YouTube channel, she noted that warnings from others led her to fear attending games at the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum. Those suggestions included wearing specific team apparel and avoiding interaction with fans due to their reputation for being rowdy. While she initially felt nervous, she eventually grew to feel comfortable within the community. The atmosphere surrounding the team has changed since the franchise relocated to Allegiant Stadium. Current home games are described as having a more corporate and tourist-heavy environment compared to the intensity previously experienced in Oakland. Maxx Crosby remains a primary defensive figure for the team as they continue their current season.
