As the summer unfolds, the speculation heats up about which location in Oakland the A’s will pick to build their new ballpark.
A story Monday from the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the A’s appear to be leaning toward a site next to Laney College and near Lake Merritt, where the offices of the Peralta Community College District sit.
A’s president Dave Kaval maintains that the team will announce a ballpark location during this calendar year, but he has not publicly disclosed a preferred site. The team is considering the Laney site, Howard Terminal and the current Coliseum, which appears the least likely of the three because of its isolated location.
