Major effort in current negotiations to improve reserve rules. Only about 15% reserve coverage so you will fly during busy summer months--not so much in winter. Limited amount of crash pads and all require a vehicle. Good amount of commuter hotels but rooms fill up for Raiders/Oakland A's home games.
