Oakland and A's win legal battle for new ballpark.

The First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco ruled that Oakland's environmental review of the A's multi-billion dollar baseball stadium project and surrounding development was sufficient, dealing a major win for the city and the team. The ruling comes after a coalition of port workers, truckers and cargo terminal operators filed a lawsuit last April, arguing that the city did not adequately study the adverse impacts of the project. The decision is a significant victory for the city and the team, which is in negotiations to build a $1 billion, privately financed 35,000-seat waterfront ballpark at Howard Terminal.
