A’s moving offices downtown, changing motto

The A’s are moving to downtown Oakland.

At least the offices are.

The club said Friday that its previously announced plan to consolidate its offices at the Coliseum and Oracle Arena into a 40,000-square-foot space in Jack London Square will happen Monday.

The A’s also announced they are changing their motto from “Rooted in Oakland” to “Victory for Oakland.”

None of this brings the A’s any closer to the new ballpark they desire, but the office move away from the Coliseum to downtown is symbolic.

The A’s announced the move around the time it proposed building a stadium at Laney College on land owned by the Peralta Community College District, but the district nixed the plan.
