Well, here in oakland on tuesday, a group of Community Advocates called on Alameda County to make sure that whatever eventually happens to the Oakland Coliseum. They want to know that the community will benefit tuesday morning. The Oakland United Coalition called on the Alameda County board of supervisors to pressure as owner john fisher to allow the Oakland Coliseum to be used for things other than a baseball. The team recently blocked an effort by the upstart oakland bees to play at the coliseum move that the Oakland Coalition says robs a community of a financial benefit. The as are currently in the process of buying out the county stake in the coliseum, a deal which makes them in the city of oakland, coowners of the site. Coalition believes that the county can still exert pressure on the team. But county has the agreement with pfister that is allowing him to be a decisionmaker about what does and doesnt happen in our backyard, too. Theyre a dream and is allowing the as ownership to block the flow of needed resources into the east oakland community.
