"And we said, 'Sounds great to us. Welcome to the neighborhood.'"

- Don Ahern, President and CEO, Ahern Equipment Rentals, says he spoke to Oakland A’s ownership, and this is how he responded when they asked his thoughts about building the ballpark near his hotel. Ahern says Phil Ruffin — property owner of the Circus Circus resort and the Las Vegas Festival Grounds — has made trips to Oakland to negotiate a possible land deal, noting that Ruffin has “changed his heart” about selling land to the A’s.
