Hell yeah!
First off FJF.
2nd, objectively the city has been run poorly run. With new leadership , and outsiders seeing how much Oaklanders are willing to invest in their teams when their teams invest in them… I think we will get all the Major sports begging to come back.
Awesome plan and the renderings look beautiful! Watch this stadium be completed before the A’s Vegas stadium lmao.
Do they need a 25k seat stadium? That seems optimistic for a lower tier professional team. Unless this is some sort of angling for a USL or MLS team?
