Amy Trask Quotations

We encourage our fans to root responsibly and conduct themselves appropriately at all games, not just on New Year's Eve.

Look at what Al Davis has done. He hired the first Hispanic head coach (Tom Flores), the first black head coach (Art Shell), and now me. It's not a coincidence. People in sports talk a lot about inclusiveness and giving people opportunities. While they talk, I only see one person doing it. Al is the last person on Earth who'd do this for a pat on the back. A pat on the back would annoy him. He does it for the right reasons.

Al Davis is a legend and his contribution and influence on the game of football, the National Football League, and the Oakland Raiders has been profound for decades. To view his contribution and influence on a season-by-season basis does not make sense: he has dominated the industry for a lifetime. I can't tell you how he may have impacted or guided other individuals during their careers but I can speak from personal experience. He inspires me to be better every day than I was the day before.

The most significant moment will be when we stop referring to the hiring of qualified women (and racial, ethnic and religious minorities) as significant. In other words, when qualified people are hired without regard to race, gender, ethnicity, religious or other differentiating characteristics, that will be the most significant, indeed momentous, event of all.

We want a home-field advantage for the team.

We want a home field advantage for our team, and we want to provide excellent service to our fans.

Do we want more bodies in the stadium? Yes.

Al may still go back to Indy for a day or two. Right now, he's working out and strengthening his leg.

I'm not going to put a percentage on it. There are a lot of factors and one of those factors is ticket sales. We want a loud stadium.
