Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

49ers in Oakland, A's in S.F. works for everyone

SF Chronicle sportswriter Glenn Dickey has a brilliant, if unorthodox idea to solve the Bay Area's sports venue problem:
The 49ers are stalled, perhaps permanently, on a new stadium. Because the Raiders seldom sell out, Oakland and Alameda County are losing money. The A's are unhappy with Network Associates Coliseum, remodeled when the Raiders returned. The Giants' revenues have declined sharply because, with the serious dip in the economy, there are far fewer corporate events at the park.

The solution? Make San Francisco the baseball city and Oakland the football venue, by having the A's share SBC Park and the 49ers play in the Coliseum.
The linked article goes into detail about the advantages and disadvantages of this interesting, controversial plan.
