Talk:Oakland Ballpark

message: The paragraph on sea level rise that had been in the article was recently removed.  I undid this deletion as it is a relevant aspect of the stadium.  The projection in the U.N. study of a 9-23 inch rise over 100 years is such that the proposed site is probably OK.  The site is at an elevation of 10-15 feet.  However, since public value (in terms of zoning restrictions) is involved in the project, this aspect will likely be asked about by Fremont's taxpayers and others in the region.  Also, the person who removed the section also mentioned that we will have lots of other problems if a sea level rise occurs.  This is undoubtedly true, and makes it all the more important that we learn to ask these sorts of questions about every future project that is proposed near sea level in order to marshall our limited resources to be able to address those problems as they occur.  This paragraph contains relevant information about this proposed stadium and deserves to stay.  Brholden 23:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think this kind of speculation would be better placed in an article about sea level rise rather then an article about stadium construction. Because consider that if you're going to have sea level section in every stadium of construction project that MAY be effected by rising sea levels then you're going to have alot of adding to do as most of San Francisco, New York, Miami, Boston, etc... will be effected.

replies: text: Restore - As we should.  Sea level rise is a serious issue.  Not discussing it in every relevant place, such as on the page for this proposed stadium, is like putting blinders on and hoping it will go away.  The proposed stadium is above the range in the U.N. report, but below numerous other projections that include some melting of the Greenland ice sheet that have been in the media.  While it is true that we will have to add discussion of it to many other pages, it doesn't mean that it isn't the right thing to do. What do others think?Brholden 20:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Leave out, as not relevant to the discussion of the new stadium. UN report confirms the stadium is not in jeopardy anytime within its projected lifespan. Also you underestimate how many different articles would have to contain similar references. (It would be hundreds of thousands. Better to centralize any such discussion. Or at least limit to articles with subjects that would actually be impacted by sea level rise. Gateman1997 05:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I suspect the unofficial nickname of this park will be "Kid Field" or something close.  That would be a pun of its naming rights sponsor (from The Cisco Kid); it will also be the smallest MLB park.  (Due to recent expansions, Fenway Park is now only the third smallest--fourth if you count the silly tarp at the Coliseum.)  --RBBrittain (talk) 17:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm sort of confused about the subject of this article. It seems like it has morphed over the years. Is the subject Howard Terminal specifically? Or is it the search for a new stadium, at various sites? Should it include the Vegas stuff? Nweil (talk) 16:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
