That sounds a lot more fun than picketing. Give me a hotdog and a beer and I won’t care if the A’s are running around with their hair on fire, playing cricket. I’d have bought season tickets for a last-place team as long as they were in Fremont.

I may even be able to put aside my disdain for the cause-loving careerists and show up to protest this abomination.

But I will be making the point that instead walking in circles with signs we could have been watching the A’s establish themselves as a last place team.

Kinda seems that from the perspective of the Ca-ARB, this “news” is just a tad bit dated.

Slow news day ??

I would hope this was a concern for our city leaders when they met with the railroad barrons a few months back. We don’t need our backyard to look like LA’s or Oaklands.
