Given the dilapidated state of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, the Oakland A’s are talking about building a new stadium. This is nothing new – the A’s have been talking about building a new stadium for decades with nothing to show for it.
The A’s management is pushing a marketing slogan, “Rooted in Oakland,” with its stadium-site search. Three Oakland sites are in the running: a waterfront site at Howard Terminal near downtown, a site at Laney College east of Chinatown and the current site of the Coliseum.
According to oaklandballpark.com, which the A’s run, the organization will announce the new ballpark location and construction timeline by the end of the year.
