Excellent video. Concise, easily digestible, and well narrated.
Good reporting, graphics. Thanks.
Brilliantly executed content.
Btw that Howard terminal rendering you used was made by a fan in 2013-2014 that wasn’t official but it kinda shows that Howard terminal could’ve been the answer all along
I never agreed with the Athletics leaving Oakland but after years of Oakland and Alameda County not doing a thing about a new stadium and now it's time to go to Vegas!
Blessings and disguise
well, the city and county are still on the hook for Mt Davis since Al or Mark didnt pay for anything. That fourth deck alone costed more than the coliseum itself
@toonces4x that's insane! I've never been there but just from what I read and see it seems like Mt. Davis was such a waste and I remember watching Raiders games here in Detroit after they we t back to Oakland and the coliseum always had so many empty seats and I never understand that. I live in a city where we have one of the worse teams in sports and Ford Field sells out every game. Watching the Athletics in the past it was so pretty looking past the outfield seats and seeing the mountains and now Mt Davis took that away too. How much did they spend on Mt Davis?
Great piece of reporting. Thank you especially for the history and context.
Great summary. Thanks for creating this.
The best location is near the strip. The first one he mentioned. On the same block of the other l.v teams.
That 400 million dollars of corporate welfare isn’t going to be as easy for the A’s as the Raiders.
First, there is a different governor in Nevada, that already said no to new taxes for a new team.
Second the Raiders had a massively better attendance and cross country marketability than the A’s. Though that means the minor league stadium should have more than enough seats for a team that usually has between 2-4 thousand showing up for games currently.
I think people are gonna show up to the games in Vegas.
It’s been nearly 20 years since a team relocated and got rebuilt into a new franchise.
Good Video!
I blame Steve Schott too back in 2002 for not showing interest in the uptown land
Actually, blame John Fisher Price instead next time. Because he's the one that wants to move the A's to Nevada.
@@joshuagamboaii741 Absolutely but this should’ve been done way before Fisher owned team. Former Oakland mayor Jerry Brown and Steve Schott should’ve worked together and the stadium would’ve been a reality
I just moved to Oakland.. kind of sad to see the town ripping itself apart. Hope the A’s work out a deal to stay and Oakland cleans up their act.
youre part of the problem newby
That ship has sailed buddy
@@SS-iv7wv you must not live around the city. I work in the city and I can assure that every time theres a new apartment or condo building, its gets filled almost instantly.
I question the effect of the pandemic. A's ownership IMO was never serious about staying and systematically tanked every advance. I think they never believed they would actually get as far along as they did.
Oakland has many chances & years to keep their teams. Basically, Oak wanted 3 teams to play in two '66 stadiums or privately build new with ton of Red tapes. Take Oak 100 yrs or NEVER to build Allegiant Stadium.
Rich folks should have fully paid with their OWN MONEY!
As def love to follow the Raiders
I'm confused by part of this. How can San Jose, which is about 50 miles from San Francisco, but part of Giants territory, but Oakland, which is less than 10 miles away, isn't?
Also, I will never understand why cities put up hundreds of millions to build stadiums that are then owned by the team which gets to keep all the profits. If Las Vegas puts up 400m of the 1.2b, or about 1/3 of the cost of a baseball stadium, they should have 1/3 of the ownership, get 1/3 of the naming rights income, 1/3 of the total gross income generated by the stadium, etc. Or the team should be required to pay rent. Or the team should have to share revenue with the city until the city's portion of construction costs is fully paid off. Or the city should get to levy a seat tax on tickets, or a dedicated sales tax on concessions.
My point being that the city should get direct income from the building it financed, and not have to rely on unreliable indirect income that will potentially take decades to pay off.
Or even better, a team that's worth billions and stands to make billions should pay for their own stadium entirely.
The govt owns the building but the team gets that sweet luxury box deal, etc. That's why every team wants a new stadium.
@@bobbowie9350 This is my point. If the city or state own part or all of the building, they should get a significant share of the revenue that it directly produces or the team should have to pay a significant amount of rent.
San Jose is about the same distance from Oakland than it is to SF. But after some research, it looks like the MLB Constitution gave the Giants territorial rights of SJ. In the 90s, the Giant's owner wanted to relocate from SF to SJ, and the A's owner ceded.
@@evdrip I wasn't clear in how I worded it. San Jose is about 50 miles from San Francisco, and Oakland is less than 10 miles from San Francisco, so it makes no sense that relocating to a new stadium in Oakland wouldn't infringe on the Giants territory, but relocating to San Jose would.
I mean, there are three cities that have two MLB teams in the same city, but 50 miles away is infringing on their territory. It's bizarre.
It was an agreement a long time ago when the Giants were going to leave. It's called Management..which the A's don't have! The Giants built their stadium and that only happens with great ownership and Management!
IF THE AAA TEAM IS DOING WELL SO WILL THE A'S
Warriors would’ve been the first team to leave if not for Curry
This guy fails to take into account the owner of the A’s and his management.
Let's not forget the San Jose move would be beneficial for everyone and the Giants can suck it
Good stuff. Fan bases can be rebuilt. Good luck to the As
I love women's basketball wnba
Jerry Brown was the worst mayor in Oakland & worst governor in CA.
Uptown ballpark would’ve been great for Oakland
Yeah, the homeless could have used it as an open air sewer and crack house in the off-season
@@Snowboy2015 now that the A’s are leaving Oakland, the Coliseum site will become a homeless encampment 😢 🤦♂️
I can’t believe 3 teams have left Oakland. Lol. Shame on the city
4 teams. The defunct Oakland/California Golden Seals of the NHL left Oakland and moved to Cleveland in 1976. They were the first big league team to leave.
Commissioner and everyone else should care
We are the fans
Bay Area fans
You are trying to create new fan base?
Give them an expansion team
John Fisher is a crook
Should of negotiated in good faith and stayed at the table
Snake walked away and is doing everything possible to screw the real fan base over to get his selfish ass way
Blame your past mayors, how many times did they try build a new stadium in Oakland?
A's sharing Pac-Bell Park with the Giants: IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will never be a new stadium in Oakland, a California politician always there to screw things up.
if they stay, maybe Richmond by the Ford plant, try another county not named alameda county (a real sh&&&ole of a county)
Your girl cheats on you but you still let her come home?
This is BS
Some dont want them in Las Vegas. They think they will not try for a world series
That’s not happening. The A’s will never go back to Oakland lol😂
Shoulda been left Oakland years ago
@@dreamcage1801 like basic grammar skills left you, huh ..
@@Snowboy2015 no I just misspelled the word that’s all
An open stadium in Las Vegas. What happens when temperatures are 120 degrees? If the billionaires want a stadium, then foot the money. It's a scam and overpriced. Las Vegas shouldn't give money and order that the stadium has a roof. No money for the stadium at all, no funding for a stadium where nobody will go to see games. Remember the sun in summer? No tax exemption. Tired of our money going to politicians' pockets. Traffic accumulation in the strip. Also, stadiums should have outside shade from the sun. If the people are going to stand for 1/2 hrs. or more.
The stadium will have a retractable roof.
Yes but it’s a dry heat according to Las Vegas
i would prefer mls in vegas but if this happens mls should not happen and they should focus elsewhere
#SayGoodbyeToOaklandAndHelloToLVBaby!
Move to Sacramento, plenty of space there. The Bay Area is trash anyway.
Not a bad idea tbh
Amen to that Bay Area is a woke trash town
The time to do that was the late 2000’s
The city is still paying for G1C. But, in a 6 team expansion in 2030, if Portland gets the NL West, Sacramento could get the AL West.
Sacramento is Spanish for Nowhere !
Really a baseball park on the strip. Stupid idea
Best way is for them to share with the San Francisco Giants.
What
🤮 STAY HOME IN OAKLAND!! !!!
The real fans
Let vegASS get an expansion team
jokeland hasn't turned out for the A's even in the playoff days! ha ha ha ha
Ah yes, nobody likes John Fisher Price anymore. Because he's gonna be the worst owner in MLB Baseball history soon.
U guys have a horrible stadium don’t blame them .
Who cares? We want a WNBA team!!!!
🤮
Yuck 🤮
Oakland loves lady basketball!!!!!
Lmao ! 😂🤙🏽
Oakland is poverty
All of Oakland is not poverty, There's a lot of beauty still in oakland
@@pamelacassaro2948 beginning with you. Come stai, italiana?
