The Railyard Project is over as far as the Kings are concerned. But now Sac Mayor Kevin Johnson is touting the abandoned downtown railyard as a prime location for a BASEBALL stadium to attract the Oakland Athletics, who are looking to get out of Oakland.
I just wonder what this would do to the Rivercats, Oakland's AAA Pacific Coast League affiliate in West Sac (Yolo County), just over the causeway near the Farm Extension.

I'm guessing he wants the city to remain loyal to their original team and not abandon them for the A's.

Oakland draws small but enthusiastic crowds. Fun place to watch a ball game. Lots of aging hippies and braless grandmas.

Sounds like a good place for a lot of posters around here.

I really enjoy the Coliseum, easy to get to on the train, and they have better food than any stadium in Minnesota.
