Have never done this, but I've seen breakthroughs. I'm seeking a new opportunity. Veteran journalist, content specialist, out-generates traffic against major outlets. I'm versatile, and can learn whatever I don’t know. Open to FT, PT, contract work. Plz, do your thing twitter

@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

STADIUM UPDATE: Port of Oakland meeting with Oakland Roots in closed session to negotiate Howard Terminal terms oaklandrootsblog.com/2026/03/18/por…

@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

@Creolemafia3400 Gotta be an option, I'd think Edwards

@Jonathan_Como Cal?

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

@TomeiTyler I would love a match in Berkeley. I need me a Top Dog

@Jonathan_Como Berkeley could be good

Here are 3 questions for Oakland Roots going into Saturday's match at Phoenix Rising, written by the blog's Luis De Guzman oaklandrootsblog.com/2026/03/20/thr…

@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

@Jonathan_Como Does the current demand of roots games meet this size stadium?

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

@chasinstars22 They don't play there until the season-finale in late October 😞

@Jonathan_Como When are y’all coming to Sac? I hope David King doesn’t tailgate near us 😬

I want to feel this again 💔. Baseball was my first true love. It would take a miracle at this point

RootsPod Episode 107 is up! We welcome @MalfaJ98 to the podcast to talk this year's Roots and Roots of old, along with my thoughts on the recent Howard Terminal news. Titled: "Hopium On High," if that is any indication about the current mood open.spotify.com/episode/69u9gJ…

@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…

Our TIFO was on KTVU 🫡🫡🫶🫶

@DanielJPoulter Some people are idiots.

It was capped at 15k.

@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
