The Oakland Ballers baseball team hopes to incorporate more of the city's pro sports history in the future as it prepares for its inaugural season at historic Raimondi Park.The team has asked for the right to buy some 5,000 Oakland Coliseum bleacher seats formerly used by the Oakland Raiders during the football field reconfiguration. The moveable seats have been unused since the Raiders moved to Las Vegas in 2020 and have sat dormant in the Coliseum parking lot since then.
The Ballers said after researching the market value of the seats, many of which have deteriorated from long-term exposure to the elements, the team is offering the JPA $45 per functional seat.'We recognize the emotional and cultural significance these bleacher seats hold for the Oakland community,' said Ballers co-founder and CEO Paul Freedman in a prepared statement.
