Ahead of the closure of NUMMI, several possible uses for the facility were proposed.

In January 2010, the land was considered for a new stadium for the [[Oakland Athletics]] of [[Major League Baseball]]. It is close to the proposed site of [[Cisco Field]], which was never formally approved.<ref name="SFChronicle20100108">{{cite news|last=Jones|first=Carolyn |date=January 9, 2010|title=Fremont's new pitch: A's stadium at Nummi site|work=sfgate.com|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/08/BABA1BFM0P.DTL&tsp=1 |access-date=January 15, 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170325233014/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/08/BABA1BFM0P.DTL&tsp=1 |archive-date=March 25, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> On March 10, 2010, [[Aurica Motors]] announced that it intended to raise investment capital and garner federal economic stimulus funds to help retrain the workers and retool the facility for production of electric vehicles.<ref>{{cite web|date=March 10, 2010|title=Aurica Motors Announces Plan to Keep NUMMI Plant Open by Manufacturing Electric Cars|url=http://auricamotors.com/Aurica_NUMMI_March2010.docx |access-date=April 2, 2010|publisher=Aurica Motors|format=[[Word document]] |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110707185344/http://auricamotors.com/Aurica_NUMMI_March2010.docx |archive-date=July 7, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=March 10, 2010|title=Auto firm setting sights on NUMMI|url=http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_14649734?source=most_viewed |access-date=April 2, 2010|publisher=The Oakland Tribune |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160303172957/http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_14649734?source=most_viewed |archive-date=March 3, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> Both proposals went nowhere.
