You're right that there's no better place to go. If the attempt to build at the Laney College site is a ploy (and I don't know that it is), then the ploy is, "We tried to get a brand new ballpark in a perfect location in the city, but that didn't work, so we're going to remodel the Coliseum and stay there."

That seems more plausible. Though I'd have to image the reno for the Coliseum would be extensive.
