They should make them play in the Giants' place until it's done.

The A's will soon fill the old Coliseum every home date with a proposal to make every game
Free Meth Night At The Old Ballpark.
The parking lots are empty so there will be plenty of room for all of the shopping carts.

Don't even get me started on how Oakland treats the sports teams.

New A's complex has so much potential. They'll fuk it up.

A park next to "affordable housing" in Oakland; that should be a real upscale environment.

You talking about California bro?

The Coliseum is by far the worst stadium I've ever been to. Not only is it rundown and located in a shitty neighborhood, but there's also always these annoying fans in the bleacher seats who are banging on their fukkin drums throughout the entire game. Wouldn't even go there if someone gave me free tickets. Oracle Park, just changed name from AT&T, on the other hand is an awesome ballpark.

Embarrassing. There's like 5 people at the game. I doubt anyone there even paid for those tickets.

The Raiders don't even know where they're playing next year LOL

I think the Raiders finally worked out a deal. Will pay Oakland 7.5 million to play 2019 and a 10.5 million option for 2020.

They should be in Vegas by then, but you never know.

Deal isn't official, the Coliseum Authority approved it but those same guys sit on the city councils so the vote should go through.

What a cluster fuk that became after the city sued the NFL.

Aren't they getting some crazy new stadium right on the water...
