Crumbling Oakland Coliseum Was Once State-Of-The-Art

THAT WAS OAKLAND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER NOEL GALLO: TELLING ME ABOUT THE MONEY -- AND OPTIMISM -- BUILDING BEHIND A LAST- MINUTE PUSH TO SAVE THE RAIDERS. IT'S AN EFFORT LED BY FORMER HALL OF FAMER RONNIE LOTT -- AIMED AT RAISING ENOUGH PRIVATE MONEY TO REPLACE THE OAKLAND COLISEUM... A BUILDING THAT QUIETLY TURNED 50 BACK IN SEPTEMBER. THESE DAYS: ALL WE HEAR ABOUT IS HOW OUTDATED THE COLISEUM AND ORACLE ARENA HAVE BECOME. BUT AS KPIX 5'S WILSON WALKER SHOWS US: THEY WERE NOT ONLY CUTTING-EDGE IN THEIR DAY.. THEY WERE AN ABSOLUTE STEAL. <nats of rain leaking RAINWATER ON ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - SEWAGE IN THE CLUBHOUSE - AND LIKELY VERY LITTLE TIME LEFT AS A MAJOR LEAGUE STADIUM... IS AT THE OAKLAND CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON DECEMBER 13-TH. BEFORE WE GO:

It's kind of sad how much better the Coliseum would still be without Mt. Davis. The sight lines would at least still be spectacular. :(

I like the romanticism and it makes me appreciate the stadium though I wish I was more in attendance before Mt. Davis.
