A's Wolff calls Mark Davis' remarks 'unfortunate'

There is nothing in our lease that precludes Mr. Davis and the Raiders from building on the Coliseum site.

A’s co-owner and managing partner Lew Wolff issued a follow-up statement Friday to the strong comments directed at his team a day earlier by Raiders owner Mark Davis.

Among other things, Davis said the A’s need to “commit” to the Coliseum site if they truly have ambitions to build a new venue at the Coliseum alongside a potential new Raiders stadium.

After Wolff and the A’s issued a brief statement Thursday that didn’t specifically address Davis’ comments, Wolff’s statement Friday was a bit stronger.
