It Was the Pro Sports Capital of America. Now It's Been Wiped Off the
Map.

Oakland was titletown in the 1970s, as the A's, Raiders and Warriors
delivered championships in five straight years. Now, in the same span of
time, all three have abandoned the city they once called home.

Never could stand the Raiders or the A’s. Always associate Warriors with SF. Before the Oakland Coliseum was built, I remember the Raiders played at Frank Youell Field. You could see the whole thing from the freeway on the way to Cal. Salinas High had a nicer stadium. Never had any class.
