When the A's built "Raley Field" to move their AAA affiliate to Sacramento, I remember hearing that the park cost more to build than it should have, as they designed it to be able to take the stress/weight of adding another seating deck on top, so that the stadium could hold ~35000, so the A's could move there if their "talk" with Oakland didn't work out. (This was long before talk of moving to Fremont.) Now, the talk is that it would be very expensive to retrofit a major league park onto Raley Field. Funny how the talk changes so much when the goal(s) have changed (blackmailing Oakland vs. "we can't stay in Oakland and need to move to San Jose")

Just one more reason why the AAAA's need to be shown the door. Freaking loser franchise.
