Oakland Airport could get a new name, but the city isn’t getting the (propeller) shaft

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:11:07 GMT

OAKLAND — Considering the city’s recent fortunes, a survey seeking feedback on a potential renaming of Oakland International Airport might have deepened worries that the city would soon no longer be associated with one of its largest institutions.But officials for the Port of Oakland, which manages the 100-year-old airport, confirmed in an email to this news organization that any rebranding will not involve removing the city’s name.But they’re also not pulling any punches about why they want to make a change — the name “Oakland” alone, it seems, is not selling enough plane tickets.“Market research both nationally and internationally has shown that majorities of international and U.S. passengers are unfamiliar with Oakland’s or our airport’s proximity to the San Francisco Bay,” port official Matt Davis said in a statement.“This lack of awareness depressed inbound passenger demand, even from passengers flying to destina...

Cal players calm about Pac-12 crumbling, but Wilcox upset; ACC discussing Bears and Stanford, per reports

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:11:07 GMT

BERKELEY — As the news of the Pac-12’s impending disintegration settled in over the weekend, some of those likely to be most affected said Monday they’re not sweating it.Interviews with four Cal football players after practice suggested their focus remains on one thing — the upcoming 2023 season.Star sophomore running back Jaydn Ott had a muted reaction to last Friday’s Pac-12 defections that leave the conference with just four teams — Cal, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State — currently committed to the conference for the 2024 season.“Honestly, I feel like that doesn’t pertain to me right now. We still have a whole season to play,” said Ott, who rushed for nearly 900 yards last season and is perhaps Cal’s best player. “I have an upcoming season to worry about. I’m not thinking about what’s going to happen after. I’ll think about it once it comes.”Friday’s fracture started when Oregon and Washington agreed to join USC and UCLA in the Big Ten next season, then Arizona, ...
