The traffic solutions and the neighborhood make sense to have a ballpark there. <BR/>Why Wolff prefer Fremont that much?<BR/>Just because of the territory rights issue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-14521338258107534042009-01-25T09:24:00.000-08:002009-01-25T09:24:00.000-08:00i dont know what Anon 5:42 is talking about. the g...i dont know what Anon 5:42 is talking about. the graphic is great. thanx ML.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-48846799474581995332009-01-24T18:02:00.000-08:002009-01-24T18:02:00.000-08:00If your familiar with the area the graphic is perf...If your familiar with the area the graphic is perfect---ML--thanks for pulling all this together--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-53331630082934920842009-01-24T17:54:00.000-08:002009-01-24T17:54:00.000-08:00The substation will have to be moved.

It's more expensive but will provide the best situation for all concerned.<BR/><BR/>I've figured out a way to have a ballpark, some retail, and 1200 parking spaces all on that site.

As for the PG&E substation, I do have an Adobe Acrobat document from about 3-4 years ago ("Downtown Baseball") that shows the following:<BR/><BR/>1) a 45k seat stadium with substation relocated.<BR/><BR/>2) a 40k seat stadium with substation still intact (whole ballpark appears "pushed" northeast toward corner of Autumn and San Fernando).<BR/><BR/>Do you remember this document? I want to say it was from LSA. Anyhow, with a possible ballpark probably coming in at 32K seats, can the city/A's build without moving the substation? This would probably be a "worse case" scenario. I'd personally rather see the station moved, but at this point I'll take anything.Tony D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03392232221747908883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-41394248832700244072009-01-24T10:26:00.000-08:002009-01-24T10:26:00.000-08:00There will be plenty of opportunity to show concep...There will be plenty of opportunity to show concepts.
