When the A’s first floated the idea of a gondola, it was met on Twitter with a predictable reaction: incredulity and bad jokes. It’s an understandable reaction from a fanbase that’s been teased with various stadium ideas with no results for years and years.
Things are looking more serious by the day for a Howard Terminal stadium and furthermore, for a Gondola. Nothing is done until ground is broken, as we learned painfully from the failed stadium attempt at Peralta, but the A’s are truly serious about the idea of a Gondola to help connect the new stadium to the nearest BART station for easy, direct public transport.
