The Port of Oakland, Calif., is trying to build a stadium for the city’s Major League Baseball team, the Oakland Tribune reports.

The port is seeking to convert a shipping terminal that was recently abandoned into a new waterfront stadium for the Athletics baseball team.

Oakland leaders are hoping to use the proposal to dissuade the A’s from considering moving to San Jose.
