OAKLAND (KCBS) — While stadium officials approved a 10-year lease extension for the A’s at the Oakland Coliseum on Thursday, the deal already appears to be unraveling as some in City Hall, including Mayor Jean Quan are attempting to rework the agreement.
The A’s and the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority reached an agreement giving the team a $500,000 rent reduction in return or installing a $10 million scoreboard. It was a 6-2 vote but still requires ratification from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and the Oakland City Council.
