OAKLAND -- The A's on Tuesday released an economic impact study revealing detailed financial influences a new ballpark would potentially have on Oakland.
According to the study, conducted by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, a privately financed ballpark would generate $3.05 billion for the city's businesses and residents over the first 10 years.
In addition, about 2,000 construction jobs would be created, and annual attendance would rise by roughly 1 million, according to the report.
"I think it shows that the ballpark is not only a great thing for our fans and the fan experience but also for the community at large, the jobs it will create, economic impact, and the vibrancy it will create in Oakland," A's president Dave Kaval said.
