Back in 2017, I was in the minority who thought the best location for the A’s to build a new ballpark was the Oakland Coliseum site, and nothing that has happened since has changed my point of view. Fast-forward to 2021, and the A’s are taking the position of “Howard Terminal or bust,” putting all their eggs in a basket whose obstacles include issues around the Port, parking, transportation, toxic soil, Schnitzer Steel, affordable housing, neighborhood opposition, and...sorry I can’t keep track of all the reasons the project may ultimately fail. Presumably, the A’s would rather move to Las Vegas than build at the Coliseum site and really, who wouldn’t prefer a tourist town that gets to 117 degrees in the summer?
