Oakland isn't going to spend a cent on the properties until it knows it can get much of if not most of the property it needs for the project.<BR/><BR/>Then there are environmental impact reviews. And rezoning. Both require hearings, committees. That's what the analysis is for: to get an idea of feasibility, costs, and risks. We'll see what happens.Marine Layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515986023439927575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1134153927125497822005-12-09T10:45:00.000-08:002005-12-09T10:45:00.000-08:00I've asked this before, but at what point does Lew...I've asked this before, but at what point does Lew Wolff decide that Coliseum North(and Oakland) is no longer viable? <BR/><BR/>Doesn't he have to give a status report to MLB in the Spring? Or is this going to hang over our heads the entire 2006 season?<BR/><BR/>If it's going to work, I'd like to see some tangible progress, even if it's baby steps. Otherwise, I'm anxious to move on to Fremont or wherever.<BR/><BR/>ANALYSIS! Frankly, if I ever bought a MLB team, I'd need analysis too! :)Georobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213186069766951534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-1134152801890375352005-12-09T10:26:00.000-08:002005-12-09T10:26:00.000-08:00Analysis is still in progress?

Shouldn't it be just a matter of Oakland buying the parcels of land needed for the ballpark, just like San Jose is doing at their Diridon South Site?
