The Oakland Coliseum has a new
use. It is now the home of professional Cricket in the bay area. I am
fully confident that will bring in dozens of spectators for the games.
I
am not completely sure right now just who owns the damn thing. The
African American Sports Entertainment Group that was buying the Coliseum
from the city of Oakland (50% owner) and the formerly Oakland As (50%
owner) for a total of about $225 million has when last I heard been
unable to seal the deal.
I wonder how much it costs to rent the place? It would make a good place of junior high school girls field hockey matches.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Don't sell cricket short. In Europe, Australia and elsewhere cricket games attract over 100,00 spectators to a match.
I remember when soccer wouldn't attract flies in the USA, but look at it today.
