The Oakland City Council will vote on a resolution Tuesday to enter into non-exclusive negotiations with possible bidders for the city’s share of the Coliseum site a key step in determining the future of the ballpark.
Tuesday’s vote authorizes the city administration to negotiate with groups that have expressed interest in purchasing the site. At stake is the ability to attract future sports teams to a city that has lost two and is at risk of losing another, as well the potential development of the site for other uses and the creation of jobs and economic activity.
