UPDATE: All of this information is take from the "Cisco Field Fact Sheet" located at the team's website.
- Cisco Field will be designed with multiple seating "neighborhoods," including field level box seats, 66 four-person mini-suites, lower reserved seats, 41 16-person suites, rooftop box seats, outfield seats, outfield rooftop, decks, clubs and restaurant seats.
- Seats down the baseline will be angled to provide more focused views to the infield.
- Cisco Field will have a variety of suite and premium seating options, including the intimate four-person mini-suites, which will be located just 15 rows from the playing field, 16-person suites cantilevered over the lower reserved seating with access to shared club spaces; party suites available for single games as loge boxes; and terrace viewing tables with access to premium clubs.
The A's came to terms with Cisco Systems on a parcel of land in Fremont, CA. The deal calls for Cisco to transfer 143 acres to the team
so they can build a 35,000 seat ballpark. This plan just waits the approval of the city. The ballpark and surrounding "ballpark village" will
be privately funded, but the team will ask the city for monies for infrastructure improvements and an extension of the BART line (subway).
Fremont is located about twenty miles south of Oakland.
