The America's Cup and the City Reach an Agreement

February 27, 2012

With the hassles of San Francisco's Board of Supervisors stalling the vote for pier reconstruction for America's Cup 34, Mayor Ed Lee and the America's Cup Event Authority announced a consolidation plan today. It calls for the elimination of Piers 30/32 from the original proposal and using Pier 80 (now the Oracle team base) as a base for other teams. Piers 27 and 29 remain on the "to-do" list so far.
