Major Obstacle Arises To Athletics’ Ballpark Plans

By Jeff Todd | December 6, 2017 at 12:10pm CDT

It seemed the Athletics had finally started some momentum toward a new ballpark when it emerged in September that the club had settled on a site to pursue. But that plan has now run into a major roadblock, according to a report from Kimberly Veklerov of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The board of trustees of Peralta Community College District — the entity that owns the prospective site, which borders Laney College — has voted to halt ongoing discussions with the A’s. That brings to a stop the exploratory efforts embarked upon by the team less than a month after it had announced a group of firms that would begin stadium design efforts.

For their part, the A’s issued a brief statement, via the Chronicle’s Susan Slusser (on Twitter). The organization says it is “shocked by Peralta’s decision to not move forward,” explaining that it had only hoped to “enter into a conversation about how to make this work for all of Oakland, Laney, and the Peralta Community College District.”

It may well be that this obstacle proves insurmountable, though perhaps the door is not fully slammed shut. But if the Athletics do move on, they’ll presumably go back to a drawing board that had featured several other possibilities — including a potential new facility at the current Coliseum site.

        Do you know the history of how they “put themselves there?” Because there are many mitigating factors that happened well before current ownership that created this problem. One of those problems is actually the Giants but that’s a long story that you should research yourself.

          TB is only bad because of the location. If the ballpark were located elsewhere, they’d bring in more fans. The Coliseum brings in plenty of fans, but the building itself is the problem, in particular the plumbing.

        The city is already losing the Riaders and Warriors. The same will happen with the A’s if they cant get this done. I agree its BS but it is still in their hands. Is the moral dilemma with the taxes really worth losing 3 teams?

          Drive around the Oakland airport, and you will quickly see where the city should invest money. Losing 10,000 fans for 81 games a year won’t be the worst thing to happen to the city.

          funny cause the stadium is a mile or so from the airport. And the A’s privately financed the stadium at the Peralta site. If you were going to invest in real estate in Oakland would you build near the airport?

          Obviously don’t know how business works JD. Major league baseball even stepped in to tell them to spend the sharing revenue. Other teams put the quality of the team over just profits. And yes, the A’s have one of the richest owners so no excuse.

          You know they’ve stopped or will stop the revenue sharing very soon, right? And that will affect the money the A’s have available to fund a stadium?

          Also, the proposed stadium that just got blocked was going to be a privately-financed stadium. But the community college that’s $20M in debt decided not make a profit by selling/leasing the land because some teachers thought it’d be too noisy.

          THIS!!! I’ve been to hundreds of games in Oakland in my lifetime. and Raiders/Warriors. There’s room on that site to build 3 other stadiums without tearing down the current dump or losing a parking spot. The current site is in a terrible part of town though. You can’t cross the BART bridge without thinking you’re in a 90’s gang movie

        • TheWoodyD

          Just because there’s room to build doesn’t make it financially viable. A new stadium alone isn’t enough to attract sellout crowds to most game. Modern stadiums need to sell an experience and have attractions nearby that are easily accessible. Restaurant, bars, nightlife–have this nearby is a must for stadiums nowadays.

    Oakland is overall a beautiful city (the new, somewhat-more affordable San Francisco, frankly) with many thriving neighborhoods. Yes, probably 1/3 of the city is mired in bleak poverty, but that doesn’t mean the people living in those neighborhoods are bad or that the city as a whole doesn’t deserve a new ballpark located near downtown where, if built, it will thrive. Who should pay for it is another matter. .

    I feel bad for A’s fans. It’s rare these days that a team offers to a city a privately-fund stadium. I think it would’ve been wise to at least listen to what the A’s have to say.

    Having said that, I don’t think Manfred will allow them to relocate. He seems to genuinely like that market. As some have said, it’s basically the new affordable SF. If they move though, my bet would be on Portland.

        Im familiar with the source material and about a dozen other pieces of media info on the Peralta Site. Its just the A’s were shut down without discussion really. It was going to face major backlash if it went forward. Jack London Square doesnt work logistically…its a transportation nightmare and the truckers union was already raising a fuss about that proposal….there’s also numerous railroad tracks that would require a very expensive pedestrian bridge/tunnel system. It really, at this point, looks like the stadium complex area is their safe bet. I cant believe Oakland would want to lose the franchise…something will shake loose. Oakland is a good market going forward I believe.

      Nobody has blamed the A’s for wanting to move for many years. The Coliseum is possibly the worst ballpark in MLB. The problem has been finding a location for a new ballpark closer to downtown Oakland. If this one falls through maybe they will start looking at San Jose again.

Thats not happening….montreal was the lone city possibility that didnt involve another small market. Mlb is NOT going to Mexico…the monetary situation there is limited and a team would be limited marketing back to Americans. Montreal allowed for possible marketing to Europe. Seriously, baseball has exhausted its footprint. Leaving Oakland would be really dumb I believe….its the market baseball wants to reach….its Brooklyn to SFs Manhattan.

      I believe the study listed these 3 as best suited.

      NJ Meadowlands area
      Riverside, CA
      Montreal

      Past that were some interchangable cities with small market questions, and quirky ecomonics, or they share with other major sports. For cities without teams in the market…Montreal was far and away the best option.

      People mention OKC a lot, but thats a HIGHLY volatile market based around energy. Its also fairly close to the Metroplex. Its easy to say…”Well, Milwaukee is the same size” but a place like Milwaukee also has decades and decades of built in brand loyalty and history.

      Baseball will expand before it relocates. I also think well see the elimination of the division format. Personally Im in favor of realigmment into 8 team divisions by adding 2

    Oakland Coliseum is the solution, plenty of space, and all the facilities, including transportation, are practically built already…

      Iowa Western CC is the only baseball Iowa needs. They’re really good

    Vegas seems perfect based on money, fans, and location. So much tourism, ticket sales would be solid and its still out west. Portland would be a nice city… Nashville, Reno. Outside of the box… Charlotte, Mexico City, Indianapolis, Lincoln, Jacksonville… Now realistically, Vegas..Nashville..Charlotte have the money…I threw in Lincoln, Nebraska simply bc baseball has always been big in the mid west.. Having a team in a smaller city that that take the risk on such a move, would create alot of revenue and tourism and help a smaller mid level city develop more so. Honestly, bad for Oakland fans for a move period…but.. Good for baseball as a whole to bring a team to a different city…alot of new excitement..tv deal..marketing..free agent interest in going somewhere new and building new legacy..etc – Vegas would be my best result though.

      Market analysts dont like vegas for an 81 game schedule. People go to casinos at night…and its largely a service economy.

      The tv deal also doesn’t favor Vegas…theres NOTHING else in that region. You also have a lot of relocatees who keep their team allegiances….same issue the Diamondbacks have found. When Joe Boomer retires from the Philly PD and heads for the sun…he stays a Phillies fan with mlbtv.

      I’d add San Antonio to that list. Of all the cities listed, Nashville makes the most sense, followed by Charlotte.

        They dont make much more sense than Oakland. I just dont see baseball relocating…expanding maybe. Why kill off a revenue market?

      ZERO evidence that a pro team would draw. The “tourists will go the games” myth has been thoroughly debunked.

    The A’s never actually engaged the community in a discussion at all. Kaval is a hack who tipped his hand early, thinking the weight of MLB would be enough for the surrounding communities to give into the A’s demands. It’s sad that the team feels it needs to uproot an entire community when it has and always had a feasible site at Coliseum. Just remember: baseball is a game but it’s mainly a business. These people don’t make decisions out of the goodness of their hearts. There’s a reason the A’s tried to hijack Peralta and it backfired on them.
