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 finance improvements to the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Complex, and to manage the Coliseum Complex on behalf of the City and the County. It is governed by a Board Commissioners that meets monthly. [1]

The Coliseum Authority contracts with AEG Facilities to operate the 120-acre (490,000 m2) Coliseum Complex, which comprises the RingCentral Coliseum and Oakland Arena.

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]

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]
