A's not talking to Fremont
For those of you who were being kept up nights by the anticipation, be advised: the Oakland A's are not actually negotiating with retail developers Catellus to build a new stadium in the East Bay city of Fremont. A message sent to new A's stadium guru Lewis Wolff seeking a meeting was due to a "misplaced call by an administrative assistant," insisted Catellus VP Dan Marcus. Fremont mayor Gus Morrison sounded equally unenthused about the notion of hosting the A's, noting that the rumored site is accessible from only a single exit off I-880: "Gee whiz, if you're going to have a full house [in a ballpark], you'll have 25,000 cars dumping out onto one freeway access."
