WE CARRIED THE HEART, THE HISTORY, THE CULTURE, AND THE SOUL OF OAKLAND WITH US! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ For generations, this Coliseum brought our community together. Families from East Oakland, West Oakland, Deep East, and every corner of the Town came here to celebrate, create memories, and stand together as ONE. THIS WASN'T JUST A STADIUM. THIS WAS OUR HOUSE. OUR HISTORY. OUR COMMUNITY. πŸ–€ As the Forever Oakland banner made its way through the Coliseum one last time, we weren't just saying goodbye to a tradition. We were reminding everyone that OAKLAND'S GREATEST STRENGTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN ITS PEOPLE! πŸ•ŠοΈ AND WE CARRIED GODFATHER GRIZ WITH US EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Our beloved Greg "Godfather Griz" Jones helped represent the loyalty, unity, and love that makes this community special. Although he's no longer physically here, his legacy continues through the people who refuse to let Oakland's history and culture fade away. GRIZ, YOUR SPIRIT WAS IN THAT MARCH. YOUR LEGACY LIVES THROUGH FOREVER OAKLAND. LONG LIVE THE GODFATHER! πŸ•ŠοΈβ€οΈ 🌳 FOREVER OAKLAND IS NOT JUST ABOUT REMEMBERING WHAT WE HAD.
