The Coliseum has no more events booked
Just learned that the Coliseum has no events booked after the Roots game tomorrow and that a few sources say it will likely be the last event ever held at the Coliseum. Or this version of the Coliseum at least.
I thought it would get better over time, but thinking about what John Fisher did still just makes me madder than anything. The idea that the heir to the gap fortune, along with 29 of his billionaire friends, unilaterally decided that an extra half million dollars was worth more than every sports fan in Oakland; the idea that someone with free will and that much money decided it would be worth their time to steal my joy of baseball.
I thought for a second that I was starting to accept the reality of the move, but I was wrong. I wish John Fisher nothing but misery(and Rob Manfred and Bud Selig too, among others).
The Coliseum closing just really shook me. FJF
