New Athletics Stadium

Post by moderne »

360 Architecture has been chosen to design a new stadium for the Oakland Athletics in San Jose, even though the league has not given permission for the move.

Is it likely to be any different than the Athletics Stadium 360 designed for Fremont?  This could be pretty lucrative for 360 if they get paid to design a new stadium for every bay area city the A's might or might not move to.

Better weather, more $$$$.
How the Giants ended up with territorial rights I'm not sure. Research after beer run. :)

Would they change their name again, or would they be the Oakland Athletics of San Jose?

Good for 360, I like their style! The Ballpark looks similar to the design they had for Fremont, just a little more scaled down.
