OAKLAND — The A’s could be getting closer to building their proposed a 35,000-seat stadium at Howard Terminal depending on how the Port of Oakland’s board of commissioners vote Monday.
The board is set to vote on whether to approve an exclusive negotiation term sheet with the A’s that would give the team four years to get land use approvals, conduct an environmental review and get everything else in order to lease the 50-acre Howard Terminal. The term sheet also lays the framework for a lease agreement, calling on the A’s to pay around $3.8 million for the first 20 years of the 66-year lease; the rent would increase after 20 years.
