    Anyone else think they're going to buy up the land, wait a few years, say "aww shucks we couldn't make it work" and then sell the land to a developer for a profit?

    Then if the stadium isn't done by 2027, the A's will play in Yreka for 3 years.

    We'll always be used as a stalking horse after MLB BEGGED us to take the Expos and we passed.

    Rumor is there looking at the Red Tail driving range. Plenty of space for a couple hotels where the old kingpins used to be in Cedar Hills Crossing.

    Maybe he meant where the old beaverton bowl used to be (or whatever it was called??), off of Walker there ? It's basically an abandoned lot now.

    Maybe it was Sunset lanes? Shit, it's been like 25+ years I bowled there.

    Did they pass, or did they realize that MLB was just using them as leverage to get a better deal with Washington DC?

    Yep Sunset Lanes. I can’t see a big hotel going up there though.

    a hotel yes, but you're right, not really a good spot (both size wise and traffic flow) for anything of merit.
