    Notice Murphy said "site" and not "sites."

    I don't believe Oakland was ever in play. It's always been expansion.

    So the A's are paying for the stadium themselves? I thought the problem was they couldn't get the city to pay for it?

    No they plan to ask the city to pay for a lot of it. They don’t even control the land they just released the renderings for. This is all just for publicity to create excitement.

    PDP on the other hand plan to announce tmr they actually control the land for the stadium site.

    Baseball attendance has been down 5 of the last 6 years.
    I read an article that it's a number of things affecting attendance but the main factor was its expensive.
    Along with more strike outs and so many relief pitchers it has taken some excitement from the game. To many rebuilds going on which stiffles fans interest. However, homers are up this last year over previous year.
    Season ticket holders are declining league wide too.
    Ive always felt that MLB needs better marketing in order to recruit new fans and keep existing ones.
    Love the game!

    Luckily our local ports are mostly dead so we'll have a spot to place a stadium. Look on the bright side of life!

    That's actually a pretty realistic sized park for a town this size. The Pirates park is about the same number of seats.
    (And just think HCP. Tthat's 34,000 people to inform how much you hate the game of baseball.)

    I mean how can you NOT build it.

    But if there were a bunch of HCP's in attendance, capacity drops to 14,000. Still more folks than there are A's fans, but #justsayinFAMS.
