Tickets Oakland Athletics - Plans for New Stadium not finalized

It was then officially commissions Bud Selig wrote a letter to Lew Wolff, owner of the Oakland Athletics, stating that if the agreement with Fremont, Calif., a new baseball field is built there, it can talk to other areas of the building.
This opens opportunities for the club to have discussions with other communities, including Santa Clara County, which is considered in the soil of the San Francisco Giants. In the past, the Giants have blocked the possibility of moving to this area by the Oakland A's.
Wolff believes a door that was previously closed is now open for them, but not lost sight of Fremont. "Other communities are all about us because of the letter, but I'm listening to does not yet. I do not want this process all over again, "said Wolff.
Unfortunately, there is no fast train Freemont. Wolff think he knows in June that Cisco Field is built in Fremont, or elsewhere. Apparently, not everyone wants the new Fremont stadium in their backyard. While the baseball field is almost entirely funded by private funds, the Fremont City Council must still approve the transaction.
There are more than two years, Cisco and the Oakland A's have reached an agreement to acquire Fremont real estate and construction of a new baseball field. The put option is not enough to get the necessary approval, however, and Wolff was the feeling of frustration. "We are talking literally in people," Wolff said: "They think we're going to bring the gang community."
The Oakland A's have a shared facility with the football team almost the entire history of the franchise, except from 1982 to 1994. They have parts of the Coliseum since their move to Kansas in 1968. While Oakland officials begin talks on the construction of the parking lot of the Coliseum is not the same and all interviews were terminated.
Because the negotiations are not successful in Fremont, Selig believes it is important to plan B. Wolff "It is important that we have a resolution in the near future," Selig wrote in the letter dated December 8 Wolff. "Therefore, I decided ... you can start talking about a baseball field with other communities ..."
Fremont, California, is in line behind San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco as communities fourth most densely populated of the Bay of San Francisco. Wolff believes that the construction of new stadium in Fremont could easily hundreds of union jobs in a city with a population of about 211,660 people.
Wolff, who was part of a group that purchased the Oakland A's in 2005, is also a fraternity brother of Selig. Two went to the University of Wisconsin. In 2006, Wolff made the announcement that he wants the franchise to build their own ball park.
You always hope it will be able to build in Fremont, but Selig, Wolff could keep his options open, which means it can Santa Clara County as well.
