San Jose hasn't given up the long-held dream of getting a Major League team in the South Bay.
SAN JOSE -- Oakland A's fans may be feeling depressed over the imminent loss of their team to Las Vegas but, in the South Bay, San Jose hasn't given up hope of getting a team of their own.
"Given that the A's are likely moving, this really feels like the moment to make our case to MLB that the territorial restrictions placed over the South Bay need to go," said San Jose mayor Matt Mahan."They don't make sense. There is no other city in any major professional sport that faces the imposition of territorial rights like the ones that constrain San Jose."
Ulmer remembers when, 12 years ago, the A's tried to move to an area west of downtown, adjacent to the Diridon transit station and the SAP Center -- HP Pavillion at the time. "The A's ownership at the time was incredibly magnanimous," Mahan said."Then the whole idea was that the Giants were looking to build a stadium in the South Bay -- which never happened -- but they held on to the territorial restriction."
