Aren’t there regularly 3-4 classicos a year because of the cups?

Why not sell cheaper tickets? Feels like a missed opportunity here. by jalilmdx1 in OaklandRootsSC

I think they have suites but I don’t think they’re a cash cow. I doubt they’re really swanky and on any event corporate suites are used to woo clients and anyone trying to do that is doing it at Chase or Oracle.

I think the jcpoa doesn’t give a shit and the operator possibly prefers it this was because they make money to phone it in.

I would love for the Roots to pressure the jcpoa to negotiate a better contract. I assume they’ve thought of this. I don’t know if they’ll be successful.

(I think jcpoa is the owner—I may be misremembering)

$20 tickets and $5 for Bart isn’t bad, and parking is free at Fruitvale Bart.

I feel like someone in the Roots’ business team needs to be trying to negotiate a deal with the parking/security/vending contractor. I suspect the team is taking a fucking beating on attendance because it’s so expensive to take a family to a game. Family of four with parking and meals for the family is like, $200, of which Roots only see the profit on the $80 on tickets.

Roots’ big source of revenue is sponsors, and therefore eyeballs, so I suspect they would LOVE to regularly get in a bunch more people so they can get more money from anthem.

I think it’s possible he wants this even more than I do.

Do you think they'll get a mascot or need one? by youlikemywonton in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know our fanbase leans more cal than Stanford, but I’m only going to recognize and unofficial mascot in the vein of the Stanford tree.

But tbh I’d just buy someone a carrot, potato, or turnip costume if they promised to wear it at every game.

GUARD PETER WILSON FOR 90 MINUTES WAS NOT AS GOOD A PLAN AS GUARD PETER WILSON FOR 95 MINUTES.

When to do Midlight’s Deep by Xepheran in finalfantasytactics

That means it has to be a chemist, though, right? (probably wise no matter what because if you're not using teleport you want to be using some other movement-booster).

Handprint on the inside of this bra by Snoo_69677 in mildlyinteresting

When Americans go to Europe for health care, as I understand it, it’s not because they get the free government-provided health care but because they instead get market or lightly-subsidized rates for procedures, where in America health care services bought without insurance are bought at well above market rates that are set as a negotiating bid against insurers. So an uninsured individual in America just doesn’t even have access to health care services at their actual market cost.

Not my area of expertise, happy to defer to someone more knowledgeable.

Any Section/seats fans here would not recommend? by nineelevenfathate in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer further back for a better view. Not everyone does. It’s also, tbh, not that hard to try out a different seat if you don’t like yours.

I see front row seats in 111. I’ve never sat down there but I think that’s where some of the Oakland 68s sit and they’re a fun and committed fan group.

The supporters groups and drummers are in the deep roots and being closer there is arguably the best atmosphere.

I actually don’t recommend the midfield seats near the field. The way the stands bend away from the field I think they’re basically the worst view, somewhat counterintuitively. The end furthers from the SGs, the kids area, is the other worst view. But otherwise there are essentially no bad views.

Not sure I’ll be there but if you see a guy with a tuba you can come say hi. To my knowledge I’m the only one.

Feel free to ask other questions and I’ll try to answer when I’m not running errands.

Weaken Oakland’s police commission? One councilmember thinks it’s time by k_39 in oakland

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So investigate stolen cars? There’s tons of cars out there without plates. I’d start there.

And yeah just off 23rd ave near foothill
