At this point it would cost way too much to do that. Coliseum is in such bad shape.

Nope.

Newballpark.org writes mainly about the A's future ballpark situation, but the guy behind it wrote a piece about potentially renovating the Coliseum rather than a total teardown. He projected the total cost at around $350M for the A's, including assuming $100M in debt due to the addition of Mt. Davis.

The Raiders renovating the Coliseum for football-only purposes can be assumed to be approximately the same amount. And we know Mark can contribute that and more, as he promised to provide up to $500M of his own money for the Carson stadium

i like that idea a lot, but that's only happening if the A's find a new stadium. No way the A's and Raiders agree to sharing a stadium once this is all said and done
 
I read somewhere that John Fisher is going to take over in finding a location for the A's. He willing to looks for alternative venues for a stadium. Fisher is interested in a stadium near downtown.
 
I remember reading something about them wanting to build something around jack london square.

I can see why the coliseum is desireble tho. the amount of stalls plus freeway access and bart.
 
According to Amy Trask the Coliseum complex is the most transit accessible major sports venue in the nation.

I believe it also has more on sight parking than any other venue as well.

Definitley a prime location.
 
Libby Schaaf is push the idea of a stadium at Howard terminal for the A's. The A's don't like the Howard terminal idea.

Other locations for the A's includes two spots at Laney College, one at Brooklyn Basin south of Jack London and the site of a U.S. Postal Service facility in West Oakland.

I wonder why there's not more interest in the Brooklyn Basin site. The master development plan for Brooklyn Basin is pretty impressive. Massive project, a lot more than just the condos. That area is going to be unrecognizable in 10 years.
