“Choose or Lose The Oakland A’s” Community Group Stadium Meeting – June 20th 2006
ONN – “Choose Or Lose The Oakland A’s” Community Group Stadium Meeting – June 20th 2006 – June 20th 2006
The effort to keep the Oakland Athletics in Oakland is not new, and goes back as far as 1996, or when the Oakland Raiders returned to the Oakland Coliseum from Los Angeles. The new Coliseum Stadium, designed more for NFL football than for MLB baseball due to the changes for the Silver and Black (now in Las Vegas), rankled the A’s, who have complained about it, yet made the best of it, ever since.
While many — probably you — were watching the epic Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks NBA Finals game at the time, a giant handful of Oaklanders were holding the third meeting of a group called “Choose or Lose The A’s”.
Hey, I didn’t make up the title. That honor belongs to Robert Limon, who organized this effort which has picked up steam and will be marked by it’s first event, a July 7th tailgate party at the Oakland Coliseum in the “B” parking lot.
The group’s idea is to drum up enough fan outrage to force elected officials to pay attention to and take real action leading to the retention of the Oakland A’s in Oakland.
This vlog shows one of the planning meetings of the group, of which was a member.
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
