right where the New Oakland A’s ball park was going to be.
Where would they’ve stuffed a stadium in there? And where would the train station be? I have so many questions.
There are (or were) a whole bunch of old buildings and warehouses etc. just to the left of the station from the POV of this photo. The stadium was going to go there.
It’ll never happen though for either the A’s or a new team because the Giants “own” the South Bay.
plenty of room along Coleman Rd. behind the Target store
I guess but. There were plenty of better spots around the bay like great america. The Giants stopped any A’s move to SJ years ago.
Yup. The Giants own the fan base rights to the South Bay. If it were possible that the As or other played in San Jose, the Giants would be screwed. Over 50% of their local fanbase is from the South Bay.
I bet my grandparents are there.
it would have been a boom economy for San Jose to have the Sharks and across the street, the A’s… mic drop
Diridon Station now.
Is this bldg. still standing?
Yes. It’s now known as San Jose Diridon station
