"The meeting, with a yet-to-be-determined date, comes as significant questions remain about plans for the 112 acres of land, the largest publicly owned redevelopment site in Oakland. The Coliseum's fate is tied up in complex negotiations between the city and county and the developers hoping to purchase the property. The Coliseum is jointly owned by Oakland and Alameda County. In 2019, the county entered a deal with the A's baseball team's owners to sell its 50% undivided interest in the property to the team."
"The A's have made all of their required payments and are scheduled to take ownership of the county's half interest this year. However, in July 2025, the county changed course and approved a new deal that allows the A's to assign their right to purchase the Coliseum to the African American Sports and Entertainment Group. The supervisors set a June 30, 2026 goal to finalize this."
City and county leaders will convene a joint public meeting to coordinate disposition of their equal ownership interest in the Oakland Coliseum property. The meeting was prompted by a letter from Oakland City Council President Kevin Jenkins to Alameda County Board President David Haubert, who supported the idea. The meeting date is yet to be determined. The 112-acre Coliseum site is the largest publicly owned redevelopment parcel in Oakland and is tied up in complex negotiations with developers. The county previously struck a 2019 deal with the A's to sell its 50% interest, then in July 2025 approved allowing assignment of that purchase right to the African American Sports and Entertainment Group, with a June 30, 2026 target to finalize.
