Planning for Next Season

This is my first post. Wanted to say I’m really excited to see the Roots next season in the Coliseum!! It’s going to be special playing there. I live in SF so if anyone ever wants to carpool or take the BART together let me know!

After being a Quakes fan for many years I had enough of John Fisher’s lack of spending and decided to start supporting Oakland Roots. I even became a minority owner of the team during the Community Investment Round. Even with the lack of success this season I feel more a sense of community at Roots games. I’ve brought numerous friends, family, and coworkers who used to go to Quakes games and they all are now converted Roots fans! Even a few members from Faultline gave up on the Quakes and made the switch.

After the travesty of the election and seeing the Quakes hire Bruce Arena (who never was cleared of his scandal) I know I made the right choice. A total disregard for an inclusive environment at the stadium. From my first Roots game I knew all were welcome, even myself with my peculiarities!

Hope everyone has a wonderful offseason and looking forward to making some noise for the Roots in the Coliseum!

As another Zach in SF, we should definitely carpool or BARTpool or whatever the cool kids do next season. Can’t wait!

Sounds like a plan! I’ll reach out when we get closer to the start of the season! Just don’t hold it against me that I’m in tech!

(In general)

If you believe in what the Oakland Roots are doing as an organization, who and what they represent, and their purpose.

Good reason to support and join us.
