The Oakland A’s are running out of time to build a new stadium in California and the commercial shipping sector may be the baseball team’s biggest hurdle
The Oakland Athletics are running out of time to build a new stadium in California and their biggest hurdle may be the commercial shipping sectorBIG -Bjarke Ingels Group/Associated PressIt is the bottom of the ninth in a clash between the shipping industry and baseball’s Oakland Athletics.
The biggest opposition comes from a shipping industry that sees the plan for a 34,000-seat stadium and a hotel and residential development on a slice of industrial land at the Port of Oakland as a misguided project that would eat up space at the country’s eighth-busiest container port for imports. They say it would worsen congestion that has bottled up U.S. supply chains and make it harder for American exporters to get their goods overseas.
The team, which has looked for sites for years and appeared set at one point to move to nearby San Jose, is focused on a 50-acre port parcel that hasn’t hosted full-time cargo-handling operations in almost a decade. The plans include a 400-room hotel, 1.7 million square feet of commercial real estate and 3,000 apartments and condos.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and the port’s leadership support the A’s plan to build on the water. They say the terminal land is too small and the water too shallow for good maritime use.
