The team's original name was the Oakland Raiders but they changed their name prior to the 1982 season because of concerns over possible trademark issues with the National Football League (NFL) team in Oakland named after John "Blackie" Davis, an African-American coach who developed the first modern offense in the NFL. The new name came from the fact that most of the players were drawn from the West Coast and thus the team wanted to represent something western. The team also wanted to distance themselves from the troubled Oakland Raiders franchise.

In the goofy stance, you skate with your right foot front, whereas in the conventional stance, you skate with your left foot forward. There are three ways to determine how comfortable you will be standing on your board. First, consider the type of skating you want to do. If you are looking for a more challenging experience, try street skating. If you would like to keep things simple, stick to park skating. Also, think about your body type. Those who have thin legs will be able to stand longer than those with thicker thighs. Finally, look at the size of the rink's floor. Coors Park has a surface that is about 100 by 75 feet, which is larger than most indoor rinks. This means you can stand for longer periods of time without getting tired.
When the Raiders first started playing games, they used an outdoor stadium known as Forbes Field. This stadium was only open during warm weather months because it was built inside a baseball stadium that belonged to the Pittsburgh Pirates. When the Raiders moved to Oakland in 1973, they decided to build their own stadium instead. That new stadium was called Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and it has been their home field since 1970. In 1977, the team changed their name to the Oakland Raiders.
During their years in Los Angeles, the Raiders had the problem of not having their own stadium.

There were several reasons why the NFL came to Los Angeles. First of all, the city is one of the most important markets in the United States. It's also the largest media market without a team in the league. Finally, the new stadium in Los Angeles was supposed to be ready for use in 1966, but it wasn't until 1971 that it opened its doors for football games. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was built at a cost of $150 million and has hosted the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984. It's also been the home of the NFL's Raiders and Rams.
