The end of an era

For years, Webster residents could hear the roar of the crowd at the Oakland Coliseum just two miles away. The stadium was home to the Oakland Raiders and Oakland Athletics for decades, however, both franchises have since moved to Las Vegas. While the Webster residents may have lost their beloved sports teams, plans to rejuvenate the district into a mixed-use commercial and residential space are underway.

Webster residents are lucky they can head to the Ring Coliseum easily and catch an A's game.
