Oakland A’s Howard Terminal Ballpark: PowerPoint On Why It’s Behind Schedule And What To Do
This livestream presents my powerpoint presentation on why Oakland A’s Howard Terminal Ballpark is behind schedule and what can be done to put it back on track.
From The Presentation:
Why Is Oakland A’s Howard Terminal Ballpark
Behind Schedule?
No formation of a public organization to focus effort in Nov. 2019 like a Howard Terminal Public Financing Authority after SB 293 Skinner was signed into law by Gov. Newsom
Result? No contact with Alameda County in 2019 re: TIF. No monthly public meetings to keep focus. No place for city admin to assign specialists for public presentation. No monthly updates on Howard Terminal. No focused public schedule.
Because there’s no Howard Terminal Public Financing Authority meeting monthly, with Oakland City Council appointed reps, no monthly updates, there’s no project organization and no publicly known deadlines.
Result? March 27, 2021. Major League Baseball expresses concern over long time between updates, starts looking at Las Vegas.
Reaction? ONLY THEN does Mayor Schaaf call for meetings with Alameda County on use of TIF – almost two years later from 2019.
Today: Still no Howard Terminal Public Financing Authority meeting monthly, with Oakland City Council appointed reps, no monthly updates, there’s no project organization and no publicly known deadlines. This is July 12, 2022.
Result: Oakland Athletics still looking at Las Vegas. Only organization weekly focused on Howard Terminal is the media. City of Oakland’s lack of organization buys time for Las Vegas process to catch up.
OAKLAND MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF REJECTED ESTABLISHMENT OF SPORTS TASK FORCE FOR RAIDERS STADIUM, SAID HER STAFF WAS A “TASK FORCE” (ALBEIT ONE THAT WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL, SUNSHINE BODY.)
OAKLAND MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF MADE HERSELF THE FACE OF THE RAIDERS STADIUM EFFORT.
OAKLAND MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF’S USING SAME FAILED RAIDERS PLAYBOOK FOR A’S HOWARD TERMINAL.
What Should Be Done?
Mayor and City Council must approve creation of Howard Terminal Public Financing Authority in accordance with SB 293 Skinner, and ASAP.
Mayor should hire me, Zennie Abraham, who formed Oakland’s only sports commission for Super Bowl Bid in 1999 from scratch, to be exec director of Howard Terminal Public Financing Authority, establish meeting and project schedule, start public meetings, closed session meetings.
Otherwise, Howard Terminal effort will continue to be rudderless. Las Vegas will catch up.
Stay Tuned.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a “liked” YouTube video by a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
