OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s — soon the only game left in town — have committed to staying put. Now they just have to tell their faithful fan base, the ones who stuck with the team through good times and bad and numerous threats to move, where team majority owner John Fisher plans to build his self-financed ballpark.
Sources say a stadium announcement could happen as early as this summer, fueling speculation about a brand-new location, or perhaps the same old place. Will it be Howard Terminal along Jack London’s waterfront? Squeezed onto the Laney College campus? A cozy new ballpark next to their crumbling, current home?
