Oakland Athletics co-owner Lew Wolff invoked visions of Boston's Fenway Park and Chicago's Wrigley Field as he outlined an ambitious development plan for a new ballpark Tuesday.

Nearly 300 people -- mostly supporters of the A's planned move -- turned out for the Fremont City Council meeting, where Wolff described the proposed Cisco Field as a "sculpture" to be set amid a village of townhouses, shops, restaurants and a hotel. He also envisioned a public park where baseball fans could view a game on a large screen located on the back of the center-field scoreboard. With only 32,000 seats, the stadium would be baseball's most intimate venue, Wolff said.
