He’s Already Saying Some Sad Goodbys
The Coliseum after 1992:
Say goodby to crowds of 92,000 for football.
Say goodby to tickets available to the common man.
Say goodby to major track meets in Los Angeles, including future Olympics.
Say hello to limited high-priced seats.
Say hello to exclusive seats for big-money Hollywood types--a la the Lakers.
The Coliseum was built to be enjoyed by Los Angeles’ common people, not so Al Davis can get his way.
By the way, Al, if you wanted an intimate crowd environment, why did you leave Oakland?
