Report: A's owner to tour waterfront site for new ballpark

Momentum may be building for an A's stadium at the Howard Terminal site near Jack London Square.

A's co-owner John Fisher will take what the San Francisco Chronicle called "a hush-hush tour" of that site at Port of Oakland, which mayor Libby Schaaf has long promoted as a landing spot for the team.Fisher, who is usually quiet publicly but holds a majority stake in the A's, will reportedly be joined on the Thursday visit by port officials familiar with real estate, environmental aspects and technical issues."It's no secret I think this would be a great place for (the A's) to move, and it gives us more options as we continue to talk to the Raiders about the Coliseum site," Schaaf told the Chronicle.
