Arizona might have a football team of its own, but it is also a hotbed of Oakland Raider fans, as three high-profile Raider fan events taking place this weekend prove.
It’s going to be a big weekend for the Raider Nation in Phoenix, Arizona, with three big events scheduled.
The festivities will kick off with a Pre-Celebration Happy Hour Party at 5 pm on Friday 8 April 2016 at the Catalina Sports Bar and Grill, which was voted the Number One Raiders Sports Bar in the Nation In 2013.
Cliff Branch and George Martinez will attend the event, which will be hosted by the Phoencian Raiders Booster Club (PRBC).
The first ever Raiders Fan Convention to be held outside the state of California will be held from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday 9 April 2016 at the Holiday Inn and Suites, Phoenix Airport North.
