Oakland Athletics Prepare to Leave Coliseum

The Oakland Athletics are set to play their final game at the Coliseum, a venue that has hosted the team since 1968. After failing to secure a deal for a new stadium in Oakland, the A's will temporarily relocate to Sacramento before moving to Las Vegas in 2028. Longtime employees, including 95-year-old Sam Moriana and 79-year-old Leland Anderson, have shared their bittersweet memories as they prepare for the transition, with many expressing sadness over losing their jobs and the iconic stadium. The move will result in nearly 600 job losses, impacting many who relied on seasonal work at the facility. Fans have protested the relocation, filling the stands with signs against team owner John Fisher. As the franchise bids farewell to Oakland, the community reflects on the memories and connections forged over decades at the Coliseum.
