Oakland Roots SC has made a significant commitment and investment to play in Oakland at Laney College. During the off-season, Laney College installed a new turf football field, a project that was delayed multiple weeks due to the Bay Area’s continuous storms and completed late last week. Once we were able to access the field and put down our portable turf system, we found that our field is not stable on top of Laney’s new turf. We continue to work through solutions with Laney College in order to resolve these issues. We made multiple other inquiries and no soccer facilities in Oakland were available.
CSU, East Bay has been home to top-level professional soccer in the past and is one of the premier sports venues in the region. Oakland Roots SC has been a close partner of the college for several years through our partnership with CSU, East Bay’s Center for Sport and Social Justice (CSSJ).
