The City of Oakland, California, is moving forward with plans for redevelopment of the Howard Terminal, including a new stadium for the Oakland Athletics, after releasing a final Environmental Impact Report on Dec. 17, but not without pushback from residents and community groups.
Last year, the Oakland City Council adopted a preliminary, non-binding agreement with the African American Sports Entertainment Group (AASEG), a Bay Area business group that advocates for economic equity for the Black community through sports and entertainment, for a 35,000-person capacity Major League Baseball park. The A’s current home is the 100-acre RingCentral Coliseum site, and John J. Fisher is the A’s majority owner.
