In Miami, the stadium is laid out in such a way that the home team gets shade while the visitors are in the glaring sun.
Do any other stadiums create unbalanced situations like this?

An unintended consequence of the Raiders moving to Las Vegas is a significant contingent of away fans at their games. It’s already a destination town, and if you’re going to go to an away game to support your team, what better place than Vegas? It also drives the aftermarket ticket cost up. I live in LA, and a couple of years ago I took my daughter to see the Raiders play the Giants at MetLife because it was overall cheaper than heading to Vegas.
Since the move, I’ve thought the Raiders would be better off tanking permanently, and then focus sales on visiting fans getting to see their team destroy the Raiders. Like a reverse Globe Trotters thing. It honestly seemed like the plan after Gruden left, but now I have my doubts with the interim coach doing well. It does seem like the plan could work.
When the chiefs play the raiders this year I’m going to have the globe trotters song in my head the whole time.
