Oakland Roots Sports Club officials announced on Monday that they will be playing inside the Oakland Coliseum in 2025.
The agreement allows the team to play their 2025 games at the stadium while continuing negotiations with Oakland to open a temporary stadium in 2026 with 10,000 seats at the Malibu lot nearby, according Roots spokesman Tommy Hodul.The Roots, which has a partnership with KTVU, currently play at Cal State East Bay in Hayward and Merritt College facilities.
The Oakland -Alameda County Coliseum Board vote in March to negotiate a lease at the Coliseum came one day after the Oakland A's baseball team met with the city to negotiate a possible lease extension.That negotiation fell apart. And the A's are set to head to Las Vegas. Last week, Oakland announced it would sell its share of the Coliseum to the African American Sports and Entertainment Group, a local Black-led development team.
