Dear Mr. Mavrogenes:
Conventions, Sports & Leisure International (“CSL”) is pleased to present this report
regarding an assessment of the economic and fiscal impacts associated with the Oakland
Athletics (“A’s”) playing in a new Major League Baseball (“MLB”) ballpark in the City
of San Jose, California (“the City”). The attached report summarizes our research and
analyses and is intended to assist project representatives in understanding the benefits,
costs and tradeoffs the City can anticipate should the A’s relocate to a new ballpark in
San Jose.
The information contained in this report is based on estimates, assumptions and other
information developed from research of the market, our knowledge of sports facilities
and other factors, including certain information provided by the City. All information
provided to us by others was not audited or verified and was assumed to be correct.
Because procedures were limited, we express no opinion or assurances of any kind on the
achievability of any projected information contained herein and this report should not be
relied upon for that purpose. Furthermore, there will be differences between projected
and actual results. This is because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as
expected, and those differences may be material. We have no responsibility to update
this report for events and circumstances occurring after the date of this report.
