OAKLAND — The executive director and CEO of the public agency overseeing the Coliseum and Oracle Arena resigned Friday, amid questions over a stadium naming rights deal worth $3 million.
Scott McKibben, who has led the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority since 2015, stepped down following a closed-session meeting of the authority board. The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday cited anonymous sources who said there was a possible conflict of interest involved in the deal to rename the stadium the RingCentral Coliseum.
The issue was over a potential commission of $50,000 from the $1 million-a-year naming deal, the sources told the Chronicle.
