The Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Authority has approved the Oakland Roots and Soul Sports Clubs to play their 2025-2026 soccer season home matches in the Coliseum Stadium. Many feared the coliseum would be abandoned. As we prepare to celebrate the World Cup, we’ve approved welcoming two teams in the largest and fastest growing sport. And more to come: Roots and Soul soccer at Oakland Coliseum https://t.co/aTkx9hZQQX— Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland Vice Mayor (@Kaplan4Oakland) April 11, 2024 Never mind, this article is from March 15 so nothing has changed, not sure why the vice mayor just tweeted it out

Maybe this has been talked about, but are we now trying to force Monterey into NorCal? When did it move from out of the Central Coast?
Monterey is both Central Coast AND NorCal (but not Bay Area, which is why I didn't use the term when mentioning teams in Monterey and Sacramento)... California has a nice horizontal dividing line between NorCal and SoCal, the county lines along the 36th standard parallel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_California
That's not how you distinguish Northern and Southern California. If you have Vons Supermarkets, you're in Southern California. If you have Safeway Supermarkets, you're in Northern California. Monterey has Safeway.
I'll let it go, but labeling Central Coast anything other than Central Coast is just wrong. It is it's own distinct area. When I lived in Santa Cruz, even they were hesitant to say they were in Northern California unless the person was from over the hill or such. Monterey....nah, that's like saying Santa Rosa is in the Bay Area which some people do. And, yeah, I found many sites, including Wikipedia, which backs it up.
I've lived in the Central Coast ( Watsonville/ Las Lomas/Salinas)my whole life, and we refer to ourselves as Nor-Cal in general, but when someone asks where I'm from I always answer Central Coast.
Yes, but if the divide is only NorCal and SoCal? I would include everything north of Big Sur, at least, to be NorCal. Santa Cruz is 30 minutes away from SJ. I don't feel like I'm going into a different "zone" when I go there. I feel like I'm driving over the hill to go to the beach.
I agree with Santa Cruz being so close. There were certainly long time residents there though that didn't feel the same. Monterey isn't the same though.
Well we claim Santa Cruz. Whether or not they want to claim us doesn’t matter, we’re bigger . As for Monterey it’s is a suburb of Santa Cruz
Speaking of Georgia… They had a spicy day in parliament today… https://www.threads.net/@cnn/post/C5zYV-bCvm0/?xmt=AQGz9OJLzs7vrR6XiKoj73_1vRc8KT5CZdSL05ETNQAdzw
