Oakland Seeks to Reduce Airport Confusion, Angering San Francisco

• Oakland officials voted to change name of Oakland International Airport to "San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport"

• Goal is to reduce traveler confusion about airport's proximity to San Francisco

• Oakland currently has no major sports teams after departure of Raiders, Warriors, and Athletics

• San Francisco airport actually located in Millbrae, not San Francisco, highlighting complexity of regional airport names
