The Oakland A’s will soon have a new home in a ballpark designed by BIG, in collaboration with local architect Gensler and landscape experts Field Operations. The new ballpark at the Port of Oakland’s Howard Terminal site will offer the most intimate baseball experience in the world with views to the city and water, as well as new civic, educational, cultural and recreational amenities for the local community. The site of the former ballpark at the Coliseum will adopt a new identity by absorbing the character of the neighborhoods around it, while the field will remain as a focal point honoring Oakland’s sports history. The former parking lot becomes a central park, containing a ballfield amphitheater, event spaces, and restored wetlands to be enjoyed by all Oaklanders.
