Part 6/9:
A significant stumbling block to the A's relocation concerns the parking situation around the proposed stadium site. Plans currently include just 2,470 parking spaces, drastically short of the projected need according to county standards, which require over 7,000 spaces for a stadium of that size. Local infrastructure—outdated and congested due to existing demand from other large venues in the area—suggests that the A's may be overestimating the effectiveness of alternative travel options, such as taxis and shuttles.
