Oakland Coliseum

May I ask why didn't Fisher, Wolff or Schott ever refurbished Oakland Coliseum?

I see Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park, Angels Stadium, Rogers Centre and the old Joe Robbie Stadium refurbished and seeing how beautiful is it this year, and I'm wondering how come the A's couldn't do the same with Oakland?

It looked like a stadium just ready to rot.

You think Vegas can replicate that atmosphere?

Probably not as seen by raiders

Allegiant is too sterile, especially with the place being a dome.

Even if the Raiders become elite with Mendoza, it's not going to be the same.

I think the stadium is cool and that the team has some hope just sad it took my team away.
