Occupying the old oak trees adjacent to UC Berkeley's Memorial Stadium for well over 560 consecutive days, the tree-sitters objected to the proposed stadium expansion which called for the removal of these trees. Citing a Native American burial site, an earthquake faultline and enviromental reasons, the protesters were a regular fixture on the local news scene.

On August 26, 2008, the judge confirmed her ruling that construction could begin.
