The new Oakland ballpark plan includes tearing down the Coliseum after the waterfront ballpark opens. Housing and other development would be built on the Coliseum site.

I don't care for the A's new plan. And it is precisely for those reasons that you state about the Coliseum. If the city of Oakland doesn't care for the A's ballpark idea, they can easily veto it, and not have to worry about losing the A's. Despite Las Vegas being used as a threat by the A's, it's an empty threat. They would be opposed by both the Raiders and the Knights. Mark Davis has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't care for the A's ownership. San Jose, as we all know, isn't an option either, thanks to the Giants. Portland is really the only credible threat that the A's have, and yet they are still recovering from the George Floyd riots, IMO.
