Zennie Abraham Gives Coliseum City Oakland Raiders Stadium Presentation At Luka's, Sept 23 2015 - ATLNews

Zennie Abraham Gives Coliseum City Oakland Raiders Stadium Presentation At Luka's Taproom, September 23 2015 This was a lecture to present a plan for new version of Coliseum City based around a proposed plan for a Raiders Stadium and Hotel Complex. The event was a result of Oakland Raiders Owner Mark Davis asking me to come up with a stadium plan (with long-time friend Mike Silver as my witness) while we were at the NFL Spring League Meeting held that May in San Francisco. The plan I formed was based on Mark's statement that he needed $400 million from the City of Oakland in order to make the financing work from his perspective. The plan I created drew that $400 million from the net operating income of a planned 1,100 room hotel that would be built in such a way that it was connected to the newly rebuilt stadium by way of an entrance pavilion. The idea of the meeting at Luka's was to present the plan to members of "Save Oakland Sports" to drum up support. Gary Flaxman used my Flip Video Camera, but at one point he decided to turn it 45 degrees - not sure why to this day, but it's only a small segment of time in the total presentation, the rest of which is shown normally. In the picture is my friend and former boss former Oakland Mayor Elihu Harris. Unfortunately, Luka's is closed now. It was a victim of the Pandemic and Oakland's complete lack of any economic development program to save small businesses. Stay tuned.
