Coliseum cups leak

Coliseum cups leak

Just how janky and low-budge can you get? For the Oakland Coliseum, it seems like there is no floor.

Kansas City Chiefs fans and media in attendance for Sunday’s Week 13 clash with the Raiders in Oakland last weekend shared some photos on Twitter showing the high-tech way the stadium has dealt with some leaks.

That is some seriously complex engineering.

Between this and some of the disgusting sewage leaks they’ve had at the stadium, it’s understandable why the Raiders have been lobbying for a move to Los Angeles. Some of the conditions at the Oakland Coliseum are just embarrassing.
