Well, I was just on mercury news.com and noticed the renderings of the new field. Not that it will see a vote yet, but it may give SF a run for it's money, except the whole "by the water" aspect of it.
I am not sure how to make an official thread or insert photos, so I will just copy the link. Enjoy!

They are better of building a stadium that fits 15,000 ppl - they don't have enough fans to fill out 30,000 seats on consistent basis.
...and the stadium looks OKAY - nothing grat.

I still don't know who they think is going to go to the games. San Jose is a Giants town, ask me how I know.

Looks very plain. If there are any A's fans that hate the 49ers stadium design, they're probably going to hate that too

I'll believe it when I see it built and the A's actually playing there. I wouldnt hold your breath on it.

This. They still don't have approval from MLB to build on the Giant's territory. Not sure how all that is gonna get settled.

Last I heard, Reed was trying to get on the November ballot, but the MLB insisted he wait at least until the Spring. I am guessing the Giant's territory is being discussed regularly, with strong opposition from a the SJ Giants.

Bitter? not at all. That stadium is really nice, there is no questioning that as I did say MAY give a run for it's money. At this point, it is just a rendering which will probably look nothing like the finished product... should it actually be built.

Yea, this ain't going to happen. Why don't they remodel the Collisium for both football and baseball. In the meantime, Raiders and A's can play in the Stanford stadium.

Are you smoking anything the Giants stadium is much better than that stadium. It looks like a above average minor league stadium to me.

My problem is the OP was trying to say that this stadium would be better than the Giants stadium.
