I emailed the Board Room information address and received a quick response which confirmed that the SFO Board Room will close sometime in 2014. The representative stated that Alaska is working with Delta to provide access to the SFO SkyClubs for Board Room members after the BR closes.
I also asked about San Diego and received a response that they are not currently planning on opening a Board Room there but that they do take member feedback into account for their plans.
I pointed out that the value, to me, of the BR membership is going down -- especially when compared to joining Delta's SkyClub directly. Maybe more of us need to make this clear directly to the program.

That space was still there and unused when I was at SAN in November. I emailed Brad Tilden suggesting they open a Boardroom there. He said he'd forward the input.
But the trend seems to be more toward closing rooms than opening them, doesn't it. I gave up my Boardroom membership.

I live in SAN and have attended many airport media event for my website. The airport marketing staff has hinted at the likely possibility of AS taking over the UA club as UA has moved to T2 and now only AS operates from that area of T1. Currently AS operates 160 flights a week from SAN. not a ton but enough IMO for a board room. In the last 3 years AS has added a lot of flights from SAN (older article but still relevant http://upgrd.com/blogs/doublewidesfl...san-diego.html) and continues to expand (most recently announcing SLC). At this rate it only makes sense for a board room in SAN as its one of the only hub/focus city with a staff base with out one

here's latest on SFO boardroom:
"closure date is going to be June 30th. Alaska's operation should be moving to the international terminal in the third week of June...estimating June 18th if all goes well".
While this is not an official statement from Alaska, it does come from insider.
Also, one of the early posts here stated that the BR staff were given notice back in November. I checked and that is not accurate, they heard rumblings from other airport staff but were not given official notice.
The move to international is only until T1 is revamped and reopened. So unless AS changes their mind, when they come back to T1, there will not be a board room for us.

How long for the T1 renovation?
Yes I agree it needs help... but at the loss of the BR

A shame to lose the Boardroom, but the (temporary) move to I-A is good news. I won't miss that miserable concourse...

Sigh. I'll probably give up my membership at this point.
The reason I started flying AS was SFO-YVR. Both closed/closing. I do admit that the replacement in YVR has worked out nicely, but I think I can just pay for the times I want to use it and spend less overall.
I guess it's back to the gate with the unwashed masses - which really sucks when your flight takes a two-hour ATC delay after you have already left to go to the airport.
