Even I saw this one coming. Everyone knows the Chamber of Commerce wants the A’s in Fremont, but the chamber made it official with a vote and good old fashion press release.

The chamber says the team will bring high-end retail to Fremont. It also says the A’s have indicated they will “assume all costs for additional security, traffic and parking management, and shuttle services on game days.”

The chamber continues: “The bottom line is this: what kind of City do we wish to be? A vibrant destination point, attractive to retail and industry alike, able to provide the level of services and activities important to residents, business and travelers? We think so. Our support for this project is an acknowledgement of this belief.”
