Community activists in Oakland are demanding Alameda County take action on the future of the Oakland Coliseum, with a focus on the ownership and use of the stadium. The Oakland A's, led by owner John Fisher, who owns half of the Coliseum land, are in discussions about selling their stake in the stadium and extending their lease. Fisher's move to take the team to Vegas has sparked concerns among East Oakland residents, who want him out of the way to allow for future development and more open use of the site. The A's are planning to meet with the African American Sports & Entertainment Group to discuss a potential sale of the club’s 50% stake. Additionally, the Oakland United Coalition is urging Fisher to sell his shares, accusing the A's ownership group of blocking resources into the community.
