Cisco Field still on track despite economy

Lew Wolff, the A's managing partner, spoke today to the AP about the status of Cisco Field. It appears the Fremont election going the A's way did put a little vigor back in the stadium plans. Also appears that 32,000 seats is the likely size now. And most importantly it appears the project is still on track for the 2012 opening.


Also of interest is that San Jose is still off the table with the Giants new owners so MacGowan leaving didn't change anything with the Giants territorial rights. And the A's ownership has ruled out Sacramento as an option if Fremont doesn't work out.
