Andy Dolich And Zennie Abraham Talk Oakland A's Las Vegas Ballpark, WNBA SF / Oakland News, AASEG
Andy Dolich And Zennie Abraham Talk Oakland A's Las Vegas Ballpark, WNBA SF / Oakland News, AASEG This is a special livestream for me because former Oakland A's executive ( as well as with the SF 49ers, Memphis Grizzlies) and current Commissioner-FCB Fan Controlled Baseball and friend Andy Dolich called me to catch up and offered an apology for leaving me out of his book "Goodbye Oakland". My 37 years of experience in working for Oakland, heading the Oakland Super Bowl Bid Effort, and then writing about and still impacting Oakland's sports economic development, including giving Dave Kaval the idea to use enhanced infrastructure financing district legislation, and spearheading an EIFD for the Oakland Coliseum JPA, have given me a unique perspective on why Oakland has lost its sports teams. And how it can rebuild a better sports economic development program. Moreover, my story is complementary to the one Andy's telling. So, we're going to talk about that, then turn to news commentary. Where are the A's with the Las Vegas move in Andy's view? And what about the WNBA rumor that is yet unconfirmed by Joe Lacob? Will he bring a WNBA team to San Francisco but headquarter it in Oakland? Does that not damage the AASEG's objective? And Andy and I will talk about the wave of sports economic development projects around the country and consider if California need to be better organized to address the trend? Stay tuned.

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

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
