The Oakland Raiders season finale against the Baltimore Ravens will be blacked out locally because they were unable to sell out their game by the deadline.

The Raiders on on their seventh consecutive blackout this season.  Their last sell out was the season opener against the Chargers.  Games need to be sold out 72 hours before kickoff in order to avoid a local 75-mile radius blackout.  Oakland has not had this many blackout since the seven in 1997.

Over the past three seasons Oakland had sold out 6 of 8 games since taking over ticket sales from Alameda County.  The Raiders sold out only 25 of 88 regular season games in time to prevent blackouts in their first 11 seasons back from Los Angeles.
