LA developer considers buying Athletics
January 7, 2005
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Los Angeles developer Lewis Wolff, who was
hired by the Oakland Athletics in 2003 to help find a new stadium,
will decide in the next three months whether he will exercise an
option to try to buy the team.
``He is in the process of exploring that option,'' said Sam Spear, a
senior consultant for the A's who spoke to Wolff on Thursday. ``He
believes that in the next 90 days he would have come to some
conclusion of either a purchase or non-purchase of the team.''
Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann bought the A's jointly in 1995 with
Schott serving as the managing partner.
``Whatever deal (Wolff) works out, he wants Steve Schott to remain as
part of the ownership,'' Spear said.
Even if Wolff decides he wants to buy the A's, there would still be
hurdles to overcome. He would need to agree on a price with Schott
and Hofmann and be approved by Major League Baseball.
Wolff, the team's vice president for venue development, had been
helping the team evaluate possible location alternatives available in
the Bay Area for a new ballpark.
Schott has repeatedly said the only way for the small-market A's to
remain viable is to get a new stadium, which commissioner Bud Selig
has also said is key. Schott has said he would like to move the
franchise to San Jose, but the San Francisco Giants own the rights to
that area.
While many of the A's competitors play in ballparks that generate
huge streams of revenue, the A's share an older stadium with the
NFL's Oakland Raiders and would like a baseball-only facility.
Wolff is a former part owner of the NBA's Golden State Warriors and
the NHL's St. Louis Blues.
