A's Fremont Move Likely Delayed Until 2012

OAKLAND (AP) ― The Oakland Athletics' expected move to Fremont will probably be delayed at least until 2012, a year later than the team hoped.

Speaking at a community meeting this week, A's co-owner Keith Wolff said the team could only make the move by 2011 if the city approves the environmental impact report by the end of this year.

But Wolff and city officials say that's highly unlikely given the size and complexity of the proposed project.

The A's proposal includes a 32,000-seat ballpark, more than 3,000 homes, an elementary school and an upscale shopping center.

The environmental report requires the team to respond to comments from public agencies and citizens and is expected to take 14 to 18 months to complete.
