Baseball's great commissioner, Bud Selig, would like the city of Fremont to OK the building of a new stadium for the the Oakland A's. The stadium, primarily private financing, would cost close to $500 million and would replace the A's long time home in Oakland. Having already unveiled their plan in 2006, the A's have been waiting for the Fremont officials to okay the stadium. A plan of the A's, in partnership with Cisco Systems, came to an agreement to purchase 143-acres, that belongs to Cisco, in Fremont as the location for the new stadium. The A's hope to have their new stadium built and ready for the open of the 2011 season. In the case that Fremont doesn't approve the stadium, soon, Selig has given the A's permission to talk with neighboring cities in an attempt to find an accommodating city.
