Selig Says No Stadium Recommendation For A's

Commissioner Bud Selig made his annual stop at A's spring training headquarters Sunday, but said he's still awaiting a committee's report on options for a new stadium in the Bay Area.

Selig dispatched a three-person panel last March to research the best locations for a new A's ballpark.

"They're getting reasonably close to completing their work, but they have some left," Selig said. "They're working their way through a lot of things and they've made no recommendations to me."
