So... the sports team is moving to a site far from BART, while abandoning a site with its own BART station. All so fans can go hang out at a trendy restaurant or brewery before games.

Meanwhile, the old stadium site will retain its BART station, but all the most valuable land for housing and office growth right next to the station will become a huge park with a couple of token suburban-style office parks around the fringes.

This is everything that's wrong with Bay Area development... why not just build a park on the Howard Terminal site and leave the A's where they are? Plenty of room to build a new stadium next to the old Coliseum.

There's also a logistical problem, how will fans get to the new ballpark? I don't see a lot of parking in the site plan, and the only transit option planned (an aerial gondola to Jack London Square) is a joke.
