Summary
Before luxury hotels and fancy facilities, the Oakland Raiders trained in a gritty, Western-themed motel in Santa Rosa—yes, the El Rancho Tropicana. Al Davis turned it into a makeshift camp with practice fields and a locker room, where players bonded over air hockey, golf, and bowling. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was home—and a blueprint for future camps. Though the motel’s gone, its legacy lives on in the town’s memories of Raiders camp days.
