Oakland moves forward on seller-financed Coliseum sale amid criticism and rival bid

Oakland lawmakers advanced a revised $125 million deal to sell the city’s 50% stake in the Coliseum complex, pairing a $50 million arena sale with $60 million of seller-financed financing at 5% interest for the stadium parcel (first payment deferred to 2032) to keep the deal alive and reduce ongoing costs. The agreement follows a missed payment deadline by the original buyer and a federal corruption probe linked to former Mayor Sheng Thao, drawing criticism over transparency. Legends Global had proposed a competing $102.5 million bid for the arena and related revenues but was not chosen. The City Council is set to vote again on July 21.

SoFi Stadium Workers Vote to Authorize Strike Ahead of World Cup Opener

SoFi Stadium workers in Inglewood voted to authorize a strike if contract talks with Legends Global stall, just days before the U.S. World Cup opener at the venue. About 2,000 bartenders, servers, cooks and dishwashers are seeking higher pay, job security, protections from subcontracting, and limits on immigration enforcement, with talks moving slowly and no guarantee of a walkout. Legends Global says it aims to reach an agreement and deliver a strong World Cup experience.

SoFi Stadium workers authorize strike as World Cup looms

Nearly 2,000 SoFi Stadium food-and-beverage workers voted 96% to authorize a strike as contract talks with Legends Global stall ahead of the U.S. World Cup opener on June 12, demanding pay above $30/hour, stronger job protections, and opposing FIFA’s request for sensitive personal data for credentialing; a walkout could disrupt World Cup crowds if no deal is reached.

SoFi stadium labor standoff looms over World Cup as strike vote nears

UNITE HERE Local 11, representing about 2,000 SoFi Stadium workers, says negotiations with operator Legends Global have collapsed and a two‑day strike vote will be held next week, potentially disrupting eight World Cup matches at SoFi, including the USA vs Paraguay opener. The union’s demands include ICE-free venues, tighter control of subcontractors, no AI/automation, and transparent pay and scheduling, amid broader complaints about contract details; FIFA says the dispute is between Legends and the union. The Athletic and other outlets have reported related complaints to state authorities and the NLRB, while Legends and local organizers declined comment.
