The fate of the Coliseum land, it seems, will not be decided anytime soon. On Friday, the city of Oakland filed a lawsuit to block Alameda County from selling its 50 percent share of the Oakland Coliseum arena site to the A's for a reported $85 million, according to The Chronicle. The city of Oakland, of course, owns the other 50 percent of the complex.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch granted a restraining order Tuesday afternoon, giving the city of Oakland at least a brief win over the county and the baseball team, who will be playing in the American League Wild Card game on Wednesday evening.
