Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Authority
The Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Authority is a joint powers agency established by the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda to manage and finance improvements to the 120-acre (490,000 m2) Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Complex on behalf of the City and the County. The complex is home of the RingCentral Coliseum/Oakland Coliseum and the Oakland Arena.
The Coliseum Authority is governed by a Board Commissioners that meets monthly [1] The agency's operations are headed by a chairman (e.g. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty) and an executive director (e.g. Ann Haley). [2] The Coliseum Authority contracts with AEG Facilities to operate the Coliseum Complex.
In 2019, Alameda County agreed to sell their interest in the complex to the Oakland Athletics for $85 million over five years as part of a planned re-development of the site by the Athletics into a "multi-sports facility" that would include affordable housing and parks and help finance a new ballpark for the team at the Port of Oakland.[3]
