Yes you read the thread title right, this was a flat out home game for the Raiders. ESPN was reporting that about 80% of the attendance in San Diego was Raiders fans. That is just a crazy number! Even the Chargers were getting ready for it, they practiced with pumped in crowd noise and used a silent count the whole game. I would have liked to see this scene in person. Like how well did the home fan pump up videos and stuff go lol.
The Chargers era in San Diego is coming to an end. Also if they move to Los Angeles then the Raiders will still have a 9th home game because that's where most of the 80% from today drove in from. Now maybe both teams leave their current city. But Raiders will still have a 9th home game in L.A. regardless.

Hosting the Oakland Raiders in what could be the AFC West rivals’ final matchup at Qualcomm Stadium, the Chargers had a “home” in name only.
Raiders fans flooded the facility, as many Chargers fans frustrated with the state of the team and its potential move to Los Angeles stayed away and sold their tickets.
Roughly 80 percent of the announced crowd of 68,352 -- the largest crowd at Qualcomm this season -- appeared to be clad in silver and black. The Chargers were enthusiastically booed when they took the field before kickoff.
The crowd was so tilted in Oakland’s favor that the Chargers did not announce the team’s starting lineup.
