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.
