It sounds like Oakland Raiders fans traveling to Kansas City for Thursday night’s big matchup with the Chiefs will be, to borrow a phrase from Tom Brady, nice and lubed up for kickoff.
Raiders fans are notoriously rowdy, and it’s probably not a huge surprise, but some fans — a lot of fans, maybe? — are aided by a little alcohol. Or, in the case of Raiders fans flying to KC for the game, a lot of alcohol.
The Bay Area News Group’s Raiders beat writer Jimmy Durkin tweeted Wednesday that his flight from Oakland to Kansas City ran out of alcohol. Presumably, there was a Raiders fan or two on that flight.
Announcement on flight to Kansas City congratulates the entire aircraft for wiping them completely out of booze. Yep, it's a Raiders flight.

The crazy thing is that flying from Oakland to Kansas City isn’t even that long of a flight. According to Google, a nonstop flight to KC lasts 3 hours and 20 minutes, which apparently is enough time for Raiders fans to drink an airplane dry.
