Yes, they want to own the entire Coliseum site including the parking lots. They have a plan to develop that land and use the revenue from that development to finance construction of a new ballpark near downtown Oakland on the waterfront.

Even if/when they turn to remodeling the Coliseum instead, there is so much parking area that they could build a parking garage in less than half of the lot and develop the rest.

I think that would be the best approach. No point in buying a stadium if you're just going to tear it down.

I'm not familiar with the area, but commercial development around ballparks can be very successful. The developments around SunTrust Park outside Atlanta have done pretty well.
