OAKLAND — Port of Oakland commissioners this week will vote on whether to enter into exclusive negotiations with the Oakland A’s to build a stadium at Howard Terminal, the first step in a yearlong review of the property.
The one-year agreement, known as an exclusive negotiating agreement, allows the A’s to study the economic potential and environmental issues at the 50-acre property near Jack London Square.
Last month, team President Dave Kaval and Mayor Libby Schaaf announced the A’s would also enter into a similar agreement with the city of Oakland to assess the Coliseum site. Oakland City Council needs to approve the deal.
