Oakland Coliseum Naming Rights Deal Talk Friday: Ring Central?

Oakland Coliseum Naming Rights Deal Talk Friday: Ring Central? - Video

At Friday morning's meeting of the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority, one of the subjects up for discussion is not officially listed on the agenda: a naming rights deal for the facility. On the afternoon Zennie62 on YouTube Livestream Talk, a fan wrote that the rumor was that Ring Central would be the name on the Coliseum. I reached out to Coliseum JPA Executive Director Scott McKibben, who would not confirm or deny that Ring Central was the naming rights buyer, but did say to me that he was "discussing it with the board Friday." So, Friday, apparently in closed session, the naming rights deal will be discussed. As to Ring Central's activity in this area, the Belmont, Ca tech company was just named "Founding Partner" for the Golden State Warriors Chase Arena, November 15th of last year. If the Coliseum deal is anything like the Warriors deal, it's likely to be $1 million a year for 10 years. While that's not any kind of improvement over what the Coliseum has landed in years past, it is a huge deal considering the coming loss of the Raiders and the Warriors, and the A's. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
