Oakland Panthers Leaving Oakland Coliseum For San Jose Arena For IFL 2022 Season
UPDATE: “Bay Area Panthers” name replaces Oakland Panthers as IFL team moves to San Jose.
Yep. Oakland is set to lose another professional sports team, and this time before that organization had a chance to play at the Oakland Arena of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex.
The Oakland Panthers, the Indoor Football League team co-owned by Marshawn Lynch and Roi Choi, and with former Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint-Powers Authority Executive Director Scott McKibben as President, will announce that it’s inked a deal to play its games in San Jose at SAP Center at San Jose.
That news came to this vlogger after this morning’s Coliseum JPA Meeting, where the organization’s boss, the legendary Henry Gardner, said that the pair could not come to deal points they agreed on. Gardner said he wanted to make some money out of the deal.
Personally, I think Henry looked at it the wrong way. If you have a startup sports team, you size the pricing of the tickets for growth, and then make up any loss via a spread of other events at the Arena and the Stadium. What I am saying is that Henry did not realize he was working with a tenant in a shopping center, rather than an individual organization.
The chance this would happen was brought to my attention last year. It was said that San Jose Arena operators were using the Coliseum’s comparatively high rates (their claim not mine) as a deal point in working to get event producers there, and stop them from going to Oakland.
In other words, San Jose is aggressive where Oakland is not.
Oakland is on a sad path of failure that’s reaching nightmare levels.
Stay tuned.
