“You think you could probably get the ballpark built in a very similar period of time,” Hill said. “It’s obviously a little bit smaller structure.” One is the non-relocation agreement, which was introduced last week. That agreement, expected to be for a term of 30 years, could be approved in the authority’s planned July meeting.Hill said he wasn’t concerned whether A’s owner John Fisher can provide the roughly $1.1 billion of financing on his end. The A’s have hired New York-based Galatioto Sports Partners to help find investors.
