Sun prepares to set on the Oakland Coliseum as the A's end an era 

A lot of sports history in that building!

All the Fortune 500 companies that left weren’t even noticed.

Its the Major League movie in real life. Soul crushing

The Homeless A's

Oakland Raiders and As. gone with the wind

Can they take the10.5% sales tax with them?

More space for unaffordable housing.

No more sports teams in Oakland .What the hell

Good luck Oakland on having the "second-tier" pro sports teams in the Roots, Soul, and Ballers filling a hefty void.

It's an end of a era.

And if leadership at Oakland city hall and Alameda co supervisors continue the status quo, you’ll continue to have the exodus.

A lot of people blame the City of Oakland, but they weren’t the only bad actors. The current ownership of the team has to be one of the worst in history. LITERALLY a real-life version of the “Major League” movie from the 80s. And nobody talks about the local business community and their lack of stepping up. Major companies like Clorox, Pandora, Kaiser are all headquartered in Oakland, not to mention all the companies HQ’d here in the Bay. Where were they? There are so many entities that have led to this. Including MLB itself.

The Raiders, the Warriors, the Athletics and even In-N-Out Burger and so many others have left or closed up.I used to go to Oakland to watch the professional athletes running around on a field or court. The only people running around now in Oakland are the bad guys committing crimes. I can't think of any reason to go to Oakland anymore.

The town need something to replace the land that can add to the area

I think Sheng Thao will let the criminals, losers and vagrants use the stadium for all their sideshows 🤣

Sad 😢. Oakland ruined.

Redevelop the land into a big regional park with sporting facilities, picnic tables, jogging/bike paths, and wide open space perfect for festivals. Leave the arena though..it's still perfect for concerts and other shows. They could get rid of the B lot and A lot for it. The other lots will be parking for the arena

I need pro sports teams to STOP using the city name as their name. It never was Oakland's team. It is like any big business, they have no loyalty to the people of the city where they do business, only to money. The team is not the players, it's the owners. The players are just disposable employees, the fans are a replaceable "target market". No team should be using the name of any city, unless that city owns the team.

house the homeless

You voted for total Democrat rule. Deal with it.

PRO SPORTS IS A BUSINESS , NOT A TEAM EFFORT...

F fisher and co

It is a shame what American professional sports has become. Major League Baseball should be ashamed of themselves.

Oakland doesn't deserve a sports team.

Oh boo hoo. La$ Vega$ A'$

Raiders should move back

Believe it or not. The same thing will happen to the Steelers in the future

They are moving to St. Louis to the old Rams stadium to save money . "The St.Louis Athletics "

If the Kansas City Royals move, I say the A’s should come back to Kansas City and remain at Kauffman Stadium.

Put a retractable roof on the stadium, convert it into transitional housing as well as affordable housing. The facility has numerous kitchens, bathrooms, and private boxes - all suitable for immediate use. Ample sewer, water, and electrical infrastructure is already there. The spectator seating areas can be reconstructed into stacked housing units that are made from re-purposed shipping containers. The field can be made into a park. Tens of thousands of jobs can be created. The Build-Back-Better program created by President Biden and Kamala Harris has the money to make this a reality. Vote for Harris - let's move America forward and strengthen the Middle Class and urban core.

A's players deserve playing in a brand new state of art stadium. hello las vegas here we come. I blame the local politics i.e. the democrats. they suck.

"there needs to be a conversation about the future of the stadium". Translation: flattened.

Place is a dump

There is no such thing as affordable housing in California.

It’s okay. this will soon become an open-air homeless shelter and refugee camp.

Places from a distance may look worse than they really are, but all the news about crime & businesses closing down (partly because of crime?) in Oakland truly does look bad. The A's (if not Raiders too) leaving go way beyond merely the issue of politics, however. But bad governance & lousy voters sure haven't helped matters. Same with SF across the bay.

Goodbye as forever

Raiders twice, warriors and now As. Been to many games there and the place is a dump located in a bad neighborhood. No place to go for a pre game beer. Feel for the fans but Oakland let themselves get this way. Can't blame any of those teams for leaving.

Oakland is done.

_Now iz da time 2 unburden what has been burdened_ might help

Nobody can afford California super sad... grew up going there

Welcome to Sacramento! Temporarily...

I feel. Your pain guys RFK stadium and the Redskins are as metal Leo would say GONE!

MOVE

Elon Musk should fix the damn plumbing or Bill Gates or Zuckerberg

Why bother moving them? Just get rid of them. They don't deserve to be a major league baseball team.

Not only sports history what about all the Rock and roll history at the coliseum

tear it down -- what does oakland build there now?

Fans are the only ones to blame for this and local politicians of course.

If the fans love it so much, why didn't they show up all along? If ticket sales where good, they would have never left.

Born and raised in Hayward California I was 8 years old in 1968 and I was at the very first game,😢

Love the A's in the early 70's... What a shame that Oakland is losing them...

You Won't Have Much Chance of Building New Apts Or Condos There ,Crime Rate off The Charts It Will Sit Empty For Quite Awhile Soccer Is Not Going To Draw Sellouts

I grew up in Oakland in the late 60's its a real shame whats going on😢

Fruitvale Station 😂😂🤣🤣

Rebels of Oakland!!!❤

Was a nice stadium before the Raiders returned from Los Angeles. Vegas doesn't even want the A's. Sell the team to local interests.

Three teams? I thought only the A's and Raiders played there. Was there a pro-soccer team?

Green Day should play there every single day for 5 years.
