OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s are surging on the field and eyeing the playoffs for the first time in five years — perfect timing for the team to announce where it will build its new ballpark.
As October baseball nears, however, the team is no closer to deciding whether that new stadium will rise at the site of the club’s current home, the city- and county-owned Coliseum, or at the Howard Terminal, owned by the Port of Oakland.
The team is pursuing stadium developments at both locations, but A’s President Dave Kaval said in a recent interview that while discussions with the port are moving along, Oakland officials have been slower to release information to the team about the Coliseum.
