After years of playing home matches at the Coliseum, the Oakland Roots may soon have a new location where they could build a temporary and then permanent soccer stadium. The Port of Oakland has reportedly selected the Oakland Roots Sports Club as one of two competing finalists to redevelop Howard Terminal, a 55-acre waterfront property near Jack London Square. The other finalist is the Industrial Realty Group, a Los Angeles-based real estate development and investment firm that has proposed using Howard Terminal for maritime trade.

A majority of readers who responded to the poll - 59% of the more than 100 respondents - support the deal, often citing the need to revitalize the surrounding neighborhoods and improve the environment at the site, a shuttered power plant. Others expressed concern about traffic and transit impacts (17%), while another 16% said they opposed the stadium altogether. Another 8% need more details before forming an opinion.

In the area currently occupied by the Meazza, we will build a hotel, a small shopping centre, and we will house the headquarters of Milan and Inter. We will also place the museums of the two teams and create a sports area next to the new stadium. I have always described the San Siro area as a desolate wasteland, in the sense that I consider it an area that is either too empty or too full:

KANSAS CITY -- Kauffman Stadium remains a gorgeous place to watch a ballgame. Sunk into a sea of asphalt in Jackson County, Missouri, some things at The K have changed since it opened in 1973: the name, the color of the seats, the spaces beyond the outfield walls. Essential parts remain: the fountains, the crown-shaped scoreboard, the upsloping green of the hills that give the home of the Kansas City Royals the most pastoral feel of any Major League Baseball venue.

"Safe standing is something we have been considering for some time, and our fans who travel to away matches will see it being installed across the country."

The next challenge is a new stadium. For one year we're going to go into an analysis and make a choice for our future.
