Athletics tease fans with tweet about future stadium announcement

It appears the Oakland Athletics have plans for a new stadium.

On Friday, the A's tweeted "a ballpark site in Oakland will be announced later this year."

The response from fans on Twitter was largely that of excitement. A new ballpark is likely to be received positively by players and coaches, too, as Oakland's facilities are known for being, well, less than glamorous.

The Athletics have called Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (among the five names the park has been designated) home since they moved from Kansas City in 1968.
