Reports are that the Oakland Raiders plan to reduce seat numbers in the upper deck for the 2013 season.
That's an obvious ploy to make it reasonable to increase ticket prices, but if the Raiders don't put a winning team on the field, all of that seat manipulation will not matter.
The Raiders real problems rest in its front office, which, under GM Reggie McKenzie, has not made the kind of moves that are expected of an organization that's supposed to be on a winning track.
From firing Hue Jackson, to bringing in an unproven and inexperienced head coach in Dennis Allen, then breaking up the coaching staff after a terrible season, McKenzie has the Raiders on a path to failure.
Sadly.
