Lines up with what one reads about the Warriors' move across the Bay, which is sad. As with bands, the real money's in merch and events these days. As far as I know, historians have yet to get in on that game (t-shirts, historians for hire). Soon?
Maybe the undeserved “hatred” of the Coliseum lies in its poor fit with the new look of gentrified Oakland, but thanks for turning attention to its beauty. Hard to hope performance fills the stands, but America doesn’t treat its real monuments so well.
