Developer Mark Hall, principal owner of East Bay USL team, offered two proposals for the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum complex. The first involves acquiring 44 acres (18 ha) and the Oracle Arena for $85 million with the rest of the parcel to be bought by the Oakland Athletics for the construction of their new stadium. The second involves acquiring the entire 135-acre (55 ha) parcel for $135 million should the Athletics decide to relocate.[2]

The Concord site evolves around vacant city land near the Concord BART station and would also include housing, retail, hotels, and a convention center.[3]
