The Oakland A’s 2021 season is over, but new rumblings are beginning in the eternal quest for a new stadium.
When we last checked in, back in July, the Oakland City Council approved a non-binding term sheet for the Howard Terminal ballpark and surrounding development. However, it wasn’t quite the same terms the team had proposed, meaning the two sides still had details to figure out regarding funding. One possible solution involved money being chipped in by Alameda County, and the county was set to discuss the matter in late October.
In the meantime, the A’s are keeping the option of relocation on the table in case they don’t work out a deal to stay in the Bay Area.
