I was born in Boston and live in New York. Oakland has such a loyal fan base. Shame on these owners for moving the teams to Las Vegas. The A's owner should have his team taken away from him. He is by far the worst owner of any professional sports team. He expects tax money to build his ballpark. What a greedy pig.
I don't have a problem with tax payers dollars going towards building a new stadium. Governments already WASTE YOUR TAXPAYING DOLLARS no matter whom they are and I'm up in Vancouver Canada. Look at it that the team puts people to work both full time and part time jobs. As well hotels, restaurants, etc. all get fans spending their $$$ to stay, eat out, etc. I don't agree with this move though because I'm a Raiders seasons ticket holder and an 11 game ice pack holder of the Golden Knights. My Raiders seasons tickets I make $$$ on them but my Knights that's a different story. Vegas in general isn't that good a sports market period imho.
Phantom, you have no clue, Oakland is so bad that the wal mart next to it had to close. I went to the in n out in Oakland, the security guard told me the orioles team trailer that travels with the team got robbed. It’s one of the most ghetto cities in America.
😂 at Gumby. Seriously MLB and Manfred should seriously look at the differences between the Raiders and the Golden Knights in the NHL. The Raiders have been struggling to sell tickets (almost all of the sellouts at Allegant has been from fans from out of town opposing teams. Meanwhile the Knights now have a permanent and passionate fan base. They were a then brand new expansion team. Also helped that the Knights, was also immediately a championship contender winning a Stanley Cup within 6 years after they started. While it’s probably too late, MLB should have just given an expansion team to Vegas. And if the A’s had to leave Oakland at least keep them somewhere in Northern California such as in Sacramento.

Las Vegas is taking a while to even warm up to the Raiders. They love the Golden Knights hockey team because it's "their" team. Not sure how this A's move is gonna work there, especially if they keep on conducting business as they have been by promoting "hot prospects" and trading them off, losing year after year.

@@stefanbrown5872 Why would I worry about the dodgers owners spending 2 billion? You do know LA’s owners are the Guggenheim partners worth over 300 billion?

They did a Poll on Local news in Las Vegas if people are excited to be getting the A's nobody cared. If Vegas would have been given a expansion team I think the reaction would have been a lot different nobody wants this failing franchise and worse paying to get it.
The city is for this...but we have a certain group of people that do not want them here. Those people are doing everything they can to stop them from coming here bc of their own greed. Maybe this new place can get the A's back on top!
Tbh I don't blame the Atheletics organization of abandoning Oakland. Oakland has become an absolute cesspool of crime. No one wants to be around an environment like that.
I think you have to wait until the NFL and even NCAA bball seasons are over to do this and expect a big response. Baseball is somewhat of an afterthought this time of year.
MLB stadiums dont really generate much exonomic activity in their proximity. A non covered stadium in LV would be a colossal failure. Nobody is going to sit in 112 degree heat in the summer. Thats asinine. But thats exactly what they will do.🎉🎉
Fisher is looking for the money to pay for the park from the Las Vegas Community. This could very well fail and if it does he will have no choice but to go back to Oakland. There is no where else he could go unless he wants to play in a minor league park.
grew up loving the A's but after decades of failed attempts at a stadium anywhere in the bay, an owner that won't spend on players, a sh*t ballpark, I have given up. I just can't bring myself to say I'm now a SF Giants fan. What we need is an expansion team in the bay (not Oakland).

Quit squabbling over design details that are not solidified yet, disappointed ones. The A’s have league obligations that trump petty aesthetic concerns, and their machinations will be guided by their obligations. The Oakland A’s are the miracle team that changed baseball at it’s core forever by inventing money ball and we in the Bay Area will never forget that. Many fans will travel to Las Vegas to see the team because of their deep roots and history in Oakland. Oakland has changed so much that it was impossible for the A’s to stay. You don’t understand that because you are not here and don’t see it with your own eyes. It wasn’t just about money. You should welcome this amazing team with open arms and be fortunate to have them. Stop letting your expectations of entitlement foolishly race ahead of major league baseball’s realities of team participation. Nothing in LV is shyte designed at such scale, and you are going to get a great stadium and a great team. Love them, support them, and watch them win and win and win for you.
Any team that MOVES gets immediately removed from any loyal fanbase. Nobody wants a disloyal owner and team! This is why the Titans, Chargers, Raiders, Colts, Browns, Cardinals, Ravens... should NEVER win... don't reward disloyalty!
lmao dude is trying to sell 25% of the team to raise the funds to build in Las Vegas. He could have sold off around 8% to raise 80mil in Oakland to pay for the funding offsite gap. Oakland was all in for almost $1 billion for a waterfront stadium. It's the most laughable and inexcusable relocation in sports history. He doesn't have the $ to build anywhere and right now is chasing after Casino $ with MLB being complicit. Let's face it, MLB wants in LV for the gambling as soon as possible and they don't want to wait for expansion to do it. There's probably no local investor that is willing to spend $1-2bil for expansion PLUS another 1.5bil for a stadium. LV is too small of a market to pull that off. MLB, by using Fisher, and waiving a relocation fee, it becomes more realistic. No one should be fooled by this. MLB needs LV bad for gambling and they can't give them a discounted price for expansion while charging a big market like Montreal to get their team. It will land them in court so fast and lose their anti-trust exemption.
We really didn't want F1 either but Vegas is so FOS for that. Especially when F1 asked for our hard-earned [but easily taken from us] tax-paid, I mean, stolen, dollars and gave a HUGE chunk to F1 to help build the track/ stands, and so on. And what did they do? They turned around and charged us tickets, food, merchandise and $100,000 booths. We should have been entitled to it all. Now, Vegas has forced us once again to pay for it all, and for the A's. They take our money and then charge us in return for all of the above.
It's really a very sad story for Oakland , losing both emblematic teams, leavin behind a truly hard core fanbase, both mike Davis and John fisher can burn in hell.
Dodgers fans welcome the A’s to Vegas. We love that city. Plus dodgers fans are everywhere. We would pack up Oakland or SF with our fans and take over your ball park.
