KCBS is reporting that the Athletics will soon announce plans to move the club to Fremont and build a new stadium complex there.
The A's have not yet commented, except to say that they hope to make an official major announcement soon. That could happen when Bud Selig travels to the Bay Area next Tuesday. A move to Fremont would likely result in more money for the A's, as they'd probably have an easier time selling luxury boxes due to the promiximity to San Jose. Fans in Oakland would have a more difficult time supporting their team, but it's proven all too difficult for them as is.

It's about time they get a new stadium. I am tired of having to play in their ugly ass stadium 9-10 times a year.
stadium's fun though, it definitely isnt a "nice" stadium, but all the fans are into it....
Fremont is pretty close to my town.... 25 miles I think
