Oakland, NFL, Las Vegas Vlogger Zennie Abraham: Bring Super Bowl LX Events To Oakland

Oakland needs the visibility that Super Bowl LX can provide. An even like Jack London's NFL Playland, first proposed by former Super Bowl Bid Boss Zenophon "Zennie" Abraham in Oakland's bid for the 2005 Super Bowl, would do just that.

OAKLAND, CA, September 25, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- San Francisco is on a roll having hosted the 2025 NBA All Star Game, awaiting The 2026 World Cup, and preparing for Super Bowl LX next year. If fact NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was just in San Francisco for the kickoff event and had the pleasure of meeting former Congresswoman and new Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee. All of this was noted by the first person to bid for a Super Bowl Game for Oakland in 1999-2000, now Zennie62Meedia CEO, Zennie Abraham.

So Zennie Abraham - Oakland Vlogger and Las Vegas Vlogger and NFL Vlogger who created Zennie62 YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@zennie62) as well as, CEO of Zennie62Media, Inc (Zennie62Media.com) and the creator of OaklandNewsOnline.com and ZennieReport.com and NFLNewsbyZennie62.com, to name three of the 100 news websites his firm owns - says the NFL and The Bay Area Host Committee should bring at least one major event to Oakland and help Mayor Lee. Zennie's idea is for something called "Jack London's NFL Playland."

Who Is Zennie Abraham?

Who is Zennie Abraham? Zennie is the creator of The Zennie62 YouTube channel, the first continuous news and news commentary YouTube Channel in Oakland started in 2006, as well as Oakland's first news blog Oakland Focus in 2003. Zennie was founder of Sports Business Simulations in 2003, and builder of The system dynamics simulation games Oakland Baseball Simworld, XFL Simworld, and "Buffy, The Gym Girl", before starting the Delaware C-Corp Zennie62Media, Inc. Zennie is commonly described as "Oakland's first blogger and vlogger", he was once aide to two Mayors of Oakland, Elihu Harris and Jerry Brown.

Oakland Must Take Bold Steps To Improve

Zennie believes that Oakland's not taking bold steps to improve a subpar economic condition. To help remedy this, he wants the NFL and The Bay Area Host Committee to bring a major Super Bowl LX-related event to Oakland: "Jack London's NFL Playland."

The idea for Super Bowl City really started with me, Zennie Abraham as head of the Super Bowl Oakland Bid for Super Bowl XXXIX in 2000 for the 2005 Game. I caem up with the idea of something called Jack London's NFL Playland.

And yes, Zennie Abraham did come up with the name Jack London's NFL Playland, as well. In Jack London's NFL Playland, the idea was to have something that caused people to come to Oakland and not be in San Francisco for the entire two week Super Bowl period.

The name "Jack London's NFL Playland" came from the site to be used: Jack London Square at the Port of Oakland. Jack London's NFL Playland itself was envisioned to be defined by a fenced boundary around Jack London Square. Within it would be a combination of music concert stages and "Taste of Oakland" pavilions. as well as an auction of Oakland Raiders memorabilia.

The entry fee for was planned to be $30. Jack London's NFL Playland would be built for the two week Super Bowl Period and then dismantled. While Oakland lost the 2005 Super Bowl Competition, the idea of Jack London's NFL Playland remains.

The one question is how it would be paid for. The $30 entry fee is for day-to-day operations with any extra revenue placed in a fund to help Oakland nonprofit organizations. But the construction cost would be split and offered to Oakland-based businesses that have been great community friends. Argent Materials in East Oakland is one such firm.

Argent Materials Is An Oakland Clean Tech Business For The Community

Argent Materials says it's "Oakland Proud" and a "Clean Tech Firm" that's deeply connected to the Oakland and Alameda County community. Argent Materials does actively support local nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and community initiatives. Argent Materials says its commitment to Oakland goes beyond business—it strives to grow alongside the community it serves.

And while firms like Argent Materials help build Jack London's NFL Playland, Oakland Restaurants would benefit from Jack London's NFL Playland in operation. There would be no entry fee for Oakland restaurants, just a first-contact, first-response sign up system that could be run by Visit Oakland. Since Visit Oakland is responsible for Oakland Restaurant Week, that organization may have its own ideas of how this should be done.

Jack London's NFL Playland Will Feature Oakland Restaurants And Bands

But it would be fantastic to have Oakland restaurants like The Alley Cat Bar, ACRE Kitchen & Bar, ChefSmelly, Town Fare, Burdell, Joloff Kitchen, The Lake Chalet, Agave Uptown, and 5 Spiced Kitchen, and many more at Jack London's NFL Playland for Super Bowl LX.

Finally, the music stage could serve as a place for Oakland-based bands to play. Bands and performers like Small Crush, Praying, YSEULDE, False Figure, Trauma Chain, GALL, Ex-Heir, Bruja, Altar de Fey, Abstracter, and John Brothers Piano Company would take their turns on the stages at Jack London's NFL Playland for Super Bowl LX.

Jack London's NFL Playland for Super Bowl LX will reset Oakland's place in NFL history and set a course toward the eventual return of the league to Oakland.
