Re: “A s offer to buy Coliseum site for $135 million” (Page A1, March 27):
Here we go again. We have our local politicians on the edge of being out negotiated by industry veterans on the sale of the Oakland Coliseum complex. The Oakland A’s have offered $135 million for the arena, stadium and 130 prime acres.
In 2013, the Manchester Arena in England by itself, sold for the equivalent of $115 million. The arena sits on 8 acres. That same arena is currently in contract to be sold with surrounding adjacent properties for the equivalent of $612 million.
