After a head-scratching six weeks, the city of Oakland finally, mercifully dropped its lawsuit to block the purchase by the A’s of a partial interest in the Coliseum complex from Alameda County.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and A’s President Dave Kaval both indicated that they are making progress in negotiations on a deal for the Coliseum site.
It remains unclear why the lawsuit happened in the first place, and why it had to happen on the eve of the biggest game of the year no less, but it seems like all relevant parties are viewing this as water under the bridge.
