why i support the Howard Terminal Ballpark

My channel has plenty of Howard Terminal Ballpark videos from the design, process, and political viewpoints. But this might be the first time I've discussed why I support and advocate for the project.

As a Giants fan, I remember when Oracle opened in 2000, and it was noted that it was privately financed. I grew up a huge Raiders fan and I want the A's to remain in Oakland because this project is also privately financed. If this project gets killed, it would be an absolute shame, and send the message out that any investment in Oakland is not worth it because of red tape. This would lead to further housing crisis as it would deter anyone to make those necessary investments. I certainly hope Oakland and Alameda County make this happen.

I am not an A’s fan, I am not from Oakland (or the West Coast for that matter), and I am absolutely not a fan of the government expending such a significant amount of money to build a project for a billion-dollar team owned by a multi-billionaire that has actively threatened the city.

However, I am a huge supporter of the city of Oakland having a Major League Baseball team, specifically the Athletics. I am also a huge supporter of the A’s getting a new ballpark, specifically this beautiful-looking proposal. I wish it wouldn’t take such a significant public investment but if the city and county say that it’s worth it and the voters agree then I believe it may very well be the right decision.

We had Oakland A's season tickets from 1969-95. My Dad was sports director for KCBS Radio in San Francisco. So, I also saw many Giants and 49ers games at Candlestick. We always preferred the Coliseum as compared to seeing games at Candlestick. We also had season tickets for the Oakland/California Golden Seals. The Seals never had good ownership. However, it was still very depressing when the Seals left for Cleveland. So, we have seen the Seals, Raiders, and Warriors leave Oakland. I sincerely hope Howard Terminal will become the new home for the Oakland Athletics!

2:02 we’ll for me, if the Oakland A’s go to Las Vegas I will buy season tickets and fly to Vegas. I am so sick & tired of waiting for this issue to get resolved (we’re now going on three decades of talking about this 💩) Howard Terminal or not, Brodie is a core part of my love for coverage on my beloved Oakland A’s - keep up the great work Brodie

Anyone who doesnt support the HT project has a really silly and petty agenda...

[Tech_-onou]

Hard to tell, Brodie. You never talk about this topic, so I really wasn't sure about your stance on it.

[jonj]

Oakland deserves the A's. Oakland Athletics ownership does NOT deserve Oakland.

[larrycrocetti]

Booty Brazil those like me grown up in the Bay Area Eastbay San Leandro going to watch Oakland A's and they give us small bats baseball helmet I miss those days I wish I was in the Bay area again

[marting.]

At this point, anyone who opposes this project I’m just assuming has a bias towards Oakland

[Drew]

Hey Brodie, I'm like you, I grew up in the Bay Area in the late 80s. My first memories of A's baseball were of an incredible winning team with mega superstars that went to World Series every year. They need anew home in Oakland. They deserve a new home in Oakland, and Howard Terminal would be a jewel in the East Bay.

Because the value of the franchise being covered will go up

[evanhuang]

They’re on parallel paths with both Howard terminal and Vegas not sure which has more steam.

I support the Howard Terminal Ballpark because A's belongs to Oakland!

The Coliseum is the perfect location. The NFL came in before the Raiders moved and and declare the Coliseum property, the greatest transportation hub of any Sports facility in United States. People want convenience in a good price point in Wi-Fi that works. These Billionaires are to out of touch with the Common Man.

[moetmike]

Imagine if Gavin Newsom allowed gambling 🎰 let’s say a max of 10 casinos down 73rd aka Hegenberger imagine what that would do for Oakland and that area by the airport. I’d build that stadium 🏟️ right there on the Coliseum property.

[rhettclark]

I support the Howard Terminal site. I don’t support the ballpark design though. Looks extremely tacky. Need a H&K type design. Far better. I want it looking better than the park next door. This design doesn’t cut it

[jeffmcdaniel]

I agree with what you say Brodie but it appears that the A’s ownership is trying to keep attendance down so they can move to Las Vegas. The price of tickets and parking keep going up and they continue to dismantle the team.
