		<title>360 Architecture does package deal for A&#8217;s &amp; Quakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I had postulated that construction of both the A&#8217;s and Quakes&#8217; stadia would be done together, sequenced to take advantage of lower combined materials costs and labor. Little did I know back then that this sort of packaging extended to stadium design as well. That&#8217;s exactly what has happened as Wolff/Fisher put [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diridon Capacity Estimates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the Diridon renderings left many wondering about the little details, one major item we had no inkling about was the stadium&#8217;s capacity. Only vague mentions of 35,000 or 45,000 have been floated, but only briefly. So I figured that, absent a press release or backing documentation, I&#8217;d deconstruct 360&#8242;s model to determine the capacity. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Postseason Ticket Prices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I got an envelope in the mail from the A&#8217;s regarding postseason tickets. As fans in the 2000&#8242;s, we got used to getting a bit of price gouging, with bleacher seats often going for as much as $35. Imagine my surprise, then, when I took a look at the pricing table and saw no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Target Plaza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of questions about how my glowing comments about Target Plaza. At the walking tour yesterday, Dennis Korabiak asked those in the crowd who, if anyone, had visited Target Field to experience it first-hand. I was the only person who raised his/her hand. Korabiak immediately shot back, &#8220;Ours will be better!&#8221; Now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 12: Portland (A Eulogy)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take a good look, because it&#8217;s the last time you&#8217;ll see this beaver. Originally, the last city on this trip was supposed to be Seattle, where hopefully the M&#8217;s would&#8217;ve gotten their brains smashed in. Sadly, they were scheduled to be in New York, making a it difficult to justify going so far for just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Them&#8217;s fightin&#8217; words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief article in the Merc (with grafx) compares the San Jose and Oakland ballpark plans, such as they are. Bruce Newman has the Oakland side, while Tracy Seipel covers the San Jose angle (with a Fremont tidbit for good measure). In the broader piece is a choice quote from SJ booster Michael Mulcahy: Yet [...]]]></description>
