A’s stadium: New poll finds big support for Peralta site

OAKLAND — An Oakland Chamber of Commerce poll released Wednesday found voters support a new A’s ballpark at the Peralta Community College District site by a 2-1 margin.

Of the 503 likely voters surveyed, 62 percent supported the stadium project, 31 percent were opposed and 7 percent undecided, according to chamber CEO Barbara Leslie. Eighty-two percent reported knowing of the A’s plan to build a 35,000-seat stadium before participating in the poll.

“Many people have made up their minds about how they feel about it,” Leslie said.

Team President Dave Kaval announced the site selection in September, preferring the location at Fifth Avenue and E.
