Oakland A's May Leave County

FREMONT, CA-The Warm Springs site moves into lead position for development of a new Major League Baseball stadium after the Oakland City Council approves development of a housing complex on the A's first choice.

FREMONT, CA-The Oakland City Council has approved the development of a housing complex on the land that it has been considering for the development of a new stadium for the Oakland A’s.

This week, the Oakland City Council instructed City Manager Robert Bobb to initiate an exclusive negotiating contract with a Cleveland developer to develop an 807-unit housing complex in uptown Oakland. This site was previously determined to be the best location for a new Oakland A’s stadium by HOK Sports, a design firm that built the famous Pac Bell Park in San Francisco.

The housing development increases the chance that a ballpark may be built in Warm Springs, instead. The Warm Springs site is located on a 105-acre parcel between Fremont Boulevard and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
