Via Oakland A’s
Here we go again.
The Oakland Athletics have put out their newest potential stadium plan. And fans have a lot to say this time.
The project features a rooftop park and 20-story high rises, and an aerial gondola. There are also “preliminary plans (that) include a large park, surrounded by substantial new housing, including affordable housing, a skills center, community gathering space, office and retail developments, and restaurants.” A’s President Dave Kaval told SF Chronicle “Instead of a ballpark that sits like a fortress, this will be open and accessible to the community at all times.”
See how fans and the rest of the Bay Area is reacting to the news below.

The new A’s stadium looks pretty cool. I’m going to assume those are slides in the outfield which would be awesome pic.twitter.com/NAND6ltCOi

Only the A's would literally explain BABIP in a rendering of their stadium. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/knc8TtoUIA

Rendering of the Oakland A’s proposed new stadium. I feel like they turned the controls over to an intern who spent A LOT of time playing SimCity 2000 in his childhood. I keep waiting for a Godzilla to appear from the periphery and crush it. pic.twitter.com/wPiNUdsge2

A tradition unlike any other. An annual A's stadium rendering.

There’s a 500% better chance the Oakland A’s play in the 2023 World Series than having a new stadium.

The best part about the A's new stadium design unveiling is the part where they're calling their shot for the 2023 World Series. pic.twitter.com/08e3d92hXC

Listen, I think the proposed A's stadium is as cool as everyone else, but if you think someone is going to bring a big yellow finger to cheer at the public park that replaces the Coliseum, your thinking is a little ambitious. pic.twitter.com/H8WHnlptBg

TFW the A's decide on a stadium site that's not near a BART stop. pic.twitter.com/6h9kDHRAym

The article claims it's "a deliberate throwback to the turn-of-the-century diamonds like Philadelphia’s Shibe Park (a.k.a. Connie Mack Stadium) where the A’s once played."
Uhhhhhh… that resemblance is where, exactly? Shibe Park didn't look like the deck of a cruise ship pic.twitter.com/TXzQoY8rAK— Emily – #LeiperTheBest (@JaysGirlEmily) November 28, 2018
