WestCoastBias Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 12 minutes ago, tp49 said: Howard Terminal will probably have accessibility issues too as the closest BART stations are over a mile away, Outside of a couple of bus routes and a cross-bay ferry, getting in and out of there will be a logistical nightmare. BART Stations to Howard Terminal West Oakland - 1 mile (looks rough right around the station but not bad closer to Howard Terminal, industrial though) 12th Street - 1 mile (best option, nice walk right down Broadway) Lake Merritt - 1.4 miles (probably 2nd best option even though its the farthest) BART Stations to Oracle Park Montgomery - 1 mile Powell - 1.2 miles Embarcadero - 1.2 miles BUT in San Francisco you can transfer to Muni Metro which gets drops you off right at Oracle Park. Chase Center is the same way but further away from BART. Also California Memorial Stadium Downtown Berkley - 0.9 miles Howard Terminal is definitely walkable from BART, not for everybody but a 1 mile walk isn't bad at all. People do it for Cal games and Giants games. If this ballpark gets built, the whole area will also likely look completely different in 10 years and much more pleasant to walk, Oracle Park and Petco Park are great examples of this. Who knows, maybe a street car gets built eventually in Downtown Oakland (more taxpayer money though) that gets transit riders even closer to the Howard Terminal like Muni does for the Giants and Warriors.

BBTV Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I just love that this thread has taken so many turns that we're now talking about bridges made out of lava and dildos, and people prioritizing driving to titty bars rather than stadiums, and the person who started the whole thing hasn't even visited the site in 11 years. Obama was in his first term when this thread was started. 3 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Red Comet Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Listen. Lava may be bad and hot now, but it’ll make great soil down the line. Ergo, if we want more farmland to grow more food, we should increase the supply of lava across the lands of this country. And if you want to make America Great, we need food security first and foremost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 If they can be used to make bridges, is there any reason why the actual stadium couldn't be made of lava and dildos? Acquiring and safely transporting lava might be extremally costly - I'm not sure, it's been years since I've tried. But the dildo part should be reasonably cost-effective, and they come in enough shapes, sizes, and colors to be used in a variety of structural applications. Thinking outside the box here, but could LavaDildo Park be the new home of the Rays in 2028? 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

You can easily have 35,000 screaming fans sitting on and jumping up and down on dildos. I'm not sure if eggplant can support the weight, plus it might rot. Also I'm not sure exactly what role the lava plays. We need an engineer to explain the science of all this to us. I think there's one complaining about the Coyotes over in the NHL Antithread. I'll see if I can find him. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
