This move brings the Roots back to Oakland for the first time since 2022.
The Oakland Roots Sports Club announced Monday that they will be playing their 2025 season at the Coliseum.Professional soccer club Oakland Roots SC will play its 2025 season in the Oakland Coliseum, the team's president Lindsay Barenz announced Monday.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao said she expects some of the jobs associated with the stadium's operation, in jeopardy because of the A's move, to remain during the Roots' tenure in the stadium. The new field is a welcome change for Roots defender Neveal Hackshaw. He said he sometimes wakes up with stiff knees and sore ankles after playing games on Cal State East Bay's artificial turf field. The change to grass at the Coliseum will provide the team with some relief from those nagging injuries, Hackshaw said.
The Roots' lease, which Barenz said will cost about $3 million depending on fan attendance, covers at least 17 home games at the Coliseum for the team, which currently sits in third place in the USL Championship's Western Conference. Then, the team plans to move next door in the spring of 2026.
