Well-I'm not sure. Judging by some on this very board it IS a "battle". And its very important to them that the Rams have a larger following. It's kinda like wanting to belong with the "cool kids" in school.
You wrote: "But to me, it's nothing like the Raiders presence here. Not even close. Never will be."
I would even venture to say that the Raiders have a far larger following in L.A. than the Rams. But that doesn't bother me a bit-as long as we beat them on the field (not their fans but the team)
The flight to Vegas is even shorter than the one to Oakland so there will be a large presence there as well. The only drawback will be that you can walk from the Oakland airport to the Coliseum whereas in Vegas-Nope !
