OAKLAND, Calif.—The city of Oakland is selling its share of the Coliseum—home to the departing Oakland Athletics—to a local Black development group for at least $105 million, Mayor Sheng Thao announced Wednesday.
The sale is not surprising after the A’s announced last month that the Major League Baseball team will temporarily relocate to West Sacramento, Calif., until its ballpark is built in its new home of Las Vegas. Fans are trying to enjoy the team’s final year in the city of 400,000.
