Cisco Field

Cisco Field was a proposed ballpark in San Jose, California. It was proposed as the new home of the Oakland Athletics. It would have served as the replacement to their current home at O.co Coliseum, where the team has resided since their move from Kansas City to California in 1968. This stadium would have marked the first time that the A's franchise has played in a brand new stadium in which to play since the completion of Shibe Park in 1909. On October 5, 2015 the United States Supreme Court rejected San Jose's bid on the Athletics.

Cisco Field in San Jose

Cisco Field was proposed to be constructed in downtown San Jose immediately adjacent to the SAP Center and the Diridon Station at the corner of Montgomery Street and Park Avenue. For the A's to move to San Jose, either the San Francisco Giants would have to rescind their territorial rights on the area, or at least 23 of the 30 MLB owners would have to vote in the A's favor and force San Francisco to give up their territorial claim to Santa Clara County. Current team owner Lew Wolff has stated, "My goal and desire for the organization is to determine a way to keep the team in Northern California." The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Jose has been acquiring the properties needed at the Diridon South site. The available land, only 12-14 acres, would give rise to a very intimate stadium. As a result of its small size, it is speculated to be very hitter-friendly.
