In an effort to stave off huge budget cuts, the city of Oakland is expediting a sale of its half of the Coliseum to an African American owned sports group with big redevelopment plans. 

Details from KCBS reporter Holly Quan. 

We expect to get more details about the tentative sale later this afternoon. That includes what happens with the acquisition of the other half of the massive site, which the Oakland A's are in the process of buying from Alameda County.
