Cal gets go-ahead for sports training center
19:19 PDT BERKELEY -- A state appeals court refused Thursday to block UC Berkeley's plans to build a sports training center next to Memorial Stadium, denying a request from oak tree advocates and a neighborhood group for a new order stopping the project.
The court's action came after an Alameda County judge last week lifted her order preventing the university from beginning construction in a grove of trees occupied by protesters opposed to the campus' plans for the $124 million center.
"As far as we're concerned, we're clear to begin construction," said campus spokesman Dan Mogulof, who added that he did not know when the university will act. "The state Court of Appeal ruled quickly and decisively on this, and for us that's extremely significant."
Any action at the grove adjacent to the stadium will almost certainly bring a confrontation with four remaining tree-sitters who've been living in the grove. University officials called Thursday for the protesters to come down.
