@porkstoreyum converting into retail/apartment was for the A's plans. It's 155 acres, and the plan is they will split the land with Industrial Realty Group. So, there's no plans for retail/housing/etc, but Roots will be expected to use some of the space for a park around the stadium

@Jonathan_Como And didn’t want to convert any of their industrial land to stadium/retail/parks. Again, I’m completely infavor of this project and hope it happens, but if MLB (even with lame ass A’s) couldn’t get it done, leery if a minor league soccer team can…fingers crossed

@porkstoreyum Roots have maintained that they will have private capital to pay for it, while they are eligible for some public money already invested into the area. The City is behind them, and Port is behind them too or they wouldn't get this far. As for when, it's gonna take serious time

@Jonathan_Como Awesome. What’s your confidence on this happening? Is the private capital there on the Roots ownership side? How engaged are city representatives? And is the Port and Shnitzer steel open to this? I followed the A’s Howard Terminal saga pretty closely. Shnitzer & Port are strong

Tough break for Roots. Theyve played at Laney, CSUEB, & Las Positas. Laney would require laying its former turf over the current field surface, which would be costly. Unclear if CSUEB renovations complete by July. Merritt College pitch isn't wide enough, to my knowledge

Our July 11 match venue will be moved to accommodate Major League Cricket at the Oakland Coliseum. All tickets remain valid. More details on the new venue coming soon. Learn More: bit.ly/26venuechange #KnowYourRoots

@porkstoreyum They recently sold 14.4k/15k, and exceeded capacity at 26k last year. We'll see if a successful season leads to higher sales as well

Also worth noting, this is a USL Cup match, so maybe the league will be more lenient on the field surface. The League, typically, does not allow colors/decals like at Laney. Merritt has a very small amount of space separating field & track, which league typically doesn't like

@DrewMcGowan Agreed. I've long felt a stadium and public space would be so great for Jack London and the businesses around it. We flat out need more waterfront accessible areas.

@Jonathan_Como This would be incredible. Jack London Square needs one thing - people. I was there Sunday & it was beautiful. But there simply aren’t enough people going to drive businesses. Few businesses = few people. It’s a chicken/egg thing but a project like this would change everything.

Here is 1 thing we loved, hated, and remain unsure about following Oakland Roots' 2-1 win over New Mexico United, written by Luis De Guzman. Notes on Roots' physicality, Tommy McCabe, Bobosi Byaruhanga, the attack, and more oaklandrootsblog.com/2026/03/16/oak…

@guttaruG3 It was capped at 15k, thats 96% capacity. Last year it was capped as well and was a complete sellout. Quit trying to be edgy and spread misinformation

Oakland Roots season opener attendance last 2 years at the coliseum : 2025 - 26k 2026 - 14k Oakland Coliseum Capacity - 63k - It’s safe to say Oakland is not a prime destination for a UFL Team. #UFL
AllAround Ru@guttaruG3

The Oakland Roots are finalist for the Port of Oakland site which they would use to build a 15k stadium 🏟️ that would eventually be built into a permanent 25k stadium.🏟️ This would also be a perfect fit for the UFL to bring back the Oakland Invaders of the original USFL. #UFL
