![LATEST from A's & Las Vegas: Ballpark Funding and Sites [with Howard Stutz, NV Independent]](/img/1.gif)
Really appreciate you all for having me on!
They need to dump both Fisher and Kaval. They're not going to change the way they operate even after they move to Vegas.
"Here's Brodie Brazil"
Hey Brodie, I have a idea.
You should invite Mad Dog Chris Russo on your show.
I know you never would cause Chris is totally in favor of John Fisher and the A’s move to Vegas, this would be must see tv.
Russo would tear you apart!
Your words to Kaval's ears Brodie...See as the A's march Stomper onto the field in Vegas Opening Day in a G-string with pasties... 😏 ...The A's are done in Oakland. MLB has flipped Oakland the bird, and are hellbent to leave. Oakland will file the paperwork, and MLB will get St. Louis'ed, and make a complete dumpster fire out of MLB's expansion. Furthermore, the A's will not succeed in Vegas with John Fisher. The team will teeter on bankruptcy when Fisher can't find a billionaire dupe to buy his concrete shoes. MLB will auction the team and they could end up in Vegas or anywhere...Saying that the A's own half the Oakland Coliseum site is not accurate. If I say I own my house, but then it turns out I still have a mortgage on it, it becomes a patently untrue statement. The bank still owns my house. Yeah, Fisher says he'll pay the $45 million balance off in May. With what? He's also said he has renderings for the Trop, agreements with these guys, those guys, everybody (including Goldman Sachs - and I have heard ZERO statements from or regarding Goldman involvement in this mess). They say if you tell a lie often enough that people start accepting it as truth. This is apparently what we have here. As pissed as I am about Oakland getting screwed by these douchbags, I'm just as pissed at them screwing over Las Vegas in turn...John Fisher is a cancer on Baseball...
You are such a class act! Thank you for all you do for us A’s fans
I watch Brodie’s pod constantly. He is a solid and sincere Guy. He taps into the emotional side of the A’s relocation debacle brilliantly. He is a terrific Journalist.
I’m a Mets fan and I watch Brodie’s videos on a regular basis. He’s A1
Ditto
Pirates fan and same here lol
Same!
Never a Giants fan. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brodie, don’t go there. Green and Gold (Oakland A’s) to my grave.
MLB needs to force a sale of the Athletics. What they're doing is so destructive to the sport and theyre dragging all reputation of the league and the franchise through the mud.
Well, the name Frank McCourt and MLB stripping him of the Dodgers has come across Brodie's channel more than once. But keep in mind these aren't the precious, marquee Dodgers. This is the Oakland A's. Nobody in the baseball media outside of NorCal gives a damn about the A's...
The A’s belong in Oakland
I’m a Mets fan and I watch Brodie to hear his thoughts on the Oakland/Las Vegas A’s to be honest if they wanted to change the name they could call them the Vegas hitmen blackjacks vipers or rhinos
@foulterritory YOU GUYS SHOULD HOST YOUR SHOW AT THE OPENING DAY BOYCOTT AT THE COLISEUM PARKING LOT!!
MLB needs to take over the franchise. Then negotiate a deal with Oakland.
It'll never happen!!! And it sucks on ice!!!
Jokeland has had a quarter century to get a stadium built and hasn't. The city doesn't deserve a team.
Secretly, I think this is MLB taking over the franchise... Manfred wants an MLB team in Vegas, and this is the best chance for it to happen.
The problem is MLB wants to leave the area.
The term you were looking for there, btw, for the May 25th Park renderings is “Bullshit”. Just to help ya out a bit.
Brodie is The Godfather of Oakland!
Love this interview and follow Brodie and Foul Territory shows!! Thank you!
Professional pickpockets also love Vegas and the idea of people going to Vegas and the A's moving to Vegas. More pockets to pick.
I subscribe to both of these channels. I was a bit confused as to which channel this was at first...
Brodie and Foul Territory should be a weekly thing!
Vegas is simply too transient for a healthy baseball fanbase. This is 81 games a year. That’s a bunch BUNCH of games to expect people to forget about what else is going on in Vegas.
Brodie is best in the business
David Sampson has looked into this in detail. Main problem for Oakland fans now is the bad blood between the asshole ownership group and the city/county. The A’s will be a week small market team in Vegas and without Billy Beane a perennial loser.
Wonder what kind of stadium they will have, open or dome.
Fan fest in Oakland is raising money for schools over stadiums in Nevada ..
Why don’t they raise money for their own kids?
Pro sports teams troll for suckers to build their stadiums for them while the owners reap huge profits. Nevada will spends hundreds of millions while the state ranks 49th in education. Beyond stupid.
Brodie is THAT GUY!!!
Is there any way Ficher can be forced to sell the time.
Spearmint Rhino, LOL!
The Raiders did it a lot more organized plus the owner handled it a lot better.
Great interview, learned a lot. Totally stupid move by MLB letting this move happen cause baseball ain’t football and moving to Vegas won’t yield the same results like the raiders.
And the Raiders are terrible and hopeless. As a Raider fan, that move completely depresses me.
It's a done deal!!! And it sucks!!!
Here is something that could be a problem the A's with the WNBA Aces with two titles
I'd seen some Brodie Brazil videos last year about the Las Vegas move. He was so detailed, I thought he was a local sports reporter there. I didn't know he was an A's reporter.
Time to buy an Oakland A's jersey while I can I guess
MLB to Portland
Not addressing the street crime auto breakin epidemic in oakland is whistlin at night in the graveyard . Without a bart connection why would east bay, south bay people attend games in oakland
I still want the A's in Oakland, no matter what. Fisher can sell or not or die, I don't care, I just want the A's to stay in Oakland. I want Vegas to get a team too...just not "my" team. A fresh expansion team for Vegas, and the A's stay in Oakland. That is my dream. Probably won't happen, but it's my perfect scenario
Brodie is a sellout...."we'll just go the the Giants"....sickening. Disappointing. IF A's leave Oakland I'm done with MLB. Done. Dead to me.
Amen brother. Not sure if Brodie is a sellout. He has a career to maintain and a family to take care of. He has done a ton to get our voices heard.
New owner or MOVE the team. Oakland is DONE with Fisher.
@@hoapres Herpes you got your wish. A's are gone forever. Enjoy the Balls(ers) semi-pro squad
@@someguy7222Better the ballers than the AAA team known as the A's.
@@hoapres The Ballers would get run off the field (mercy rule) in a series with any of the A's farm teams. C'mom man...
A’s will not be able to compete with Las Vegas being a Dodger town.
There are too many questions here. MLB made a huge mistake here.
I cannot wait to see the upcoming circus that this will cause in the future.
Las Vegas Gamblers
The Nets played at Rutgers for several years in the 80’s
Brodie - you’re going to be a Giants fan? SAY IT AIN’T SO?
NO IM DONE , F, MLB . NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER A GIANTS FAN. 50 + X FAN
Yes keep beating this dead horse. Over the past 15 or so years the A's had a decent win-loss record and only had average more than 20K per game a few years. Their TV ratings were far below the average of every other team except the Marlins. Why don't you address that than pander to the Seth Rogan's who are keeping this story alive when its time to move on.
Talk about a dead horse...thinking this has anything to do with attendance is about as dumb as it gets.
Did you ever look at the Marlins attendance in the new stadium built for Floridians and right up until Loria sold the team the Marlins had an average of 20,000+ per game even when they had the lowest payroll? Then the Jeter group bought it in 2017 and the next year with no more tropical stadium Marlins attendance dropped to 10,000. Didn't pick up until they started spending money. Not even the Marlins lost over 100 games a year.
Fisher has wanted out of Oakland and the fans knew it, plus everyone bitches that Oakland didn't do enough, but why should any city or county pay for a private stadium? Well Ballys is going to find out they bought a pig in a poke with Fisher. What happens when Fisher _needs_ a handout to finish his stadium? Bet it happens.
edit; You heard about the$600 million sitting there for infrastructure? There was another $300 million in tax break and bonds too, almost a billion dollars. Fisher wanted a handout and Vegas gave it to him with the $360 million, free land plus over $100 million from the GLPI Company or Ballys I forget who. Fisher doesn't have $1.5 billion and no guarantee his family fronts the rest to him either.
The A's are gone.
Why not move the A’s to San Jose or Sacramento, that would keep the fans happy. But The Giants seem to be blocking the move to San Jose, can’t MLB override their opposition for the betterment of the league? Sacramento is a top 20 TV market, has the land to build a mlb park, and has a great fan base. Why not move the A’s there, keeping them in Northern California?
I’ve been following Brodie’s channel closely for the last couple years. His coverage is great.
Glad to see my two favorite baseball RUclipsrs get together. I'm not an Oakland fan, but Brodie's coverage has made me watch every day.
Great interview with Brodie. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten more people on the Oakland and A’s situation. #Baseballslastdivebar
Solid, solid, solid. This was a great 45 minutes. Please keep this guy coming back on the channel.
I wish some Bazziollionaire would buy the team and keep them Oakland. I mean I don't know much about that part of the country but contact someone with ties to the region who would buy the team. Perhaps the City could give them tax credits or something as an incentive to buy? I do agree with the Crew though that let the A's keep the name especially if no one in Vegas wants the name of the A's when this happens.
John Fisher could sell the team tomorrow to Joe Lacob (owner of the Warriors), who has the money/power/influence to get a stadium deal done in the area. He simply won't do it unfortunately. This isn't about there not being any pathway for the A's to stay in Oakland. At this point it's hard to say what it's about. He might literally just be too far down this hole to turn back now.
I have poker dealer friends in Vegas that are big Rays/Yankees/Red Sox fans. They want baseball bad but not the A's and that shitty owner.
Saw Brodie break down live as it happened. I was with him. Thank y'all for keeping eyes and ears on this criminal act.
Let Oakland keep the namesake for a potential expansion team and let Vegas come up with their own name. Then get Fisher and Kaval out.
IT HAPPENED HE MADE IT ON FT
Very good segment!
Lets go Brodie!!
It's a long shot but with John Fisher and the way things are going sideways Oakland just very well might be back in the mix. I know Brodie says it's water under the bridge and forget Oakland but this is John Fisher were talking about here and this deal might not happen in Vegas where else will he go? He does own half of the Oakland Coliseum property.
Do you not remember from '10 to '14 when the A's lost like half their fan base to San Francisco? Of course most of the fans will just go to the Giants games.
This is terrible for Major League baseball! Vegas is not going to support this team. They have the smallest media market and have no ties to this franchise. Fisher is the worse owner in baseball and should be forced to sell the team to someone who will keep them in Oakland
Fuck yeah! I’ve been waiting for this collab and it turned out even better than I expected. Well done all the way around, gents!
The A's better play ball with all them Unions!!!
It just shocks me that the owners and MLB are OK with this move. When is it time to step in when there is no reality-based plan or path forward being presented and acted on by ownership? I don't know the contractual legalities, but it would be cheaper for the other owners to just dissolve the A's and tell Fisher to join the West Coast League. But those owners are probably too smart to bring Fisher in.
Dissolve the A's??? Contraction??????????
Thank you all for covering this story… I’m heart broken.
@@bullwinkle2380 Yep.
People who like the NFL and people who like the NHL come to Las Vegas to watch the Raiders and the Knights because they love Las Vegas. This city sells itself.
I know it's called Foul Territory, but does the language need to be foul, too? Please be more professional than that.
Message to Brodie. You better not pout, You better not shout. The A's are moving to Vegas.
Brodie the Raiders name has been in more cities too Oakland started then to los Angeles then back to Oakland now las Vegas
I'm a Las Vegas local and a member of some groups that have many local baseball fans. I would like to correct what I think are misunderstandings about attitudes here. A big reason the Vegas Golden Knights bonded with the city is their first game was just days after the 1 October tragedy. Many locals were very upset. The Knight's reaction, sharing the grief and proclaiming VEGAS STRONG provided an instant bond. Had they relocated instead of being an expansion team under the same circumstances, the bond would have been equally strong. Of course winning helped.
A's versus expansion: If you asked 5 years ago if people preferred a new team versus a relocated team, most would probably say a new team. But today with the A's wanting to come here, the talk of an expansion team never comes up. As far as branding, the overwhelming majority prefer to keep the name, logo, and colors. In fact, people, including myself, are wearing A's caps, to positive reactions.
As far as fans losing their team, it is unfortunate, but you would need to look things in a broader context to understand businesses, people, and teams leaving the East Bay. The young fans will have the Oakland B's to root for, and there will be new young fans rooting for the A's. They will just be in Nevada.
"Broader context" is a great euphemism for "Nevada is handing out billions of taxpayer dollars to inept CA nepo babies." This idea that people and businesses are leaving the East Bay is way overstated. It's still a massive area with a highly wealthy population. John Fisher took over a team that was in fine shape 20 years ago. A decade prior to that they were a top 5 attendance team in all of baseball. He spent 20 years driving the team into the ground, and now he's the only part of the team moving to Las Vegas (not him personally of course...he'll be in his Bay Area mansion spending your money). No fans will be traveling with the team, and there is certainly no path to the team ever being able to manage any kind of sustained success in the future. Nobody with any real hope of a future in MLB will want to be associated with this disaster of an organization.
Las Vegas is a large city with its fair share of problems. Is there really nobody questioning the priorities of the politicians in this whole process?
@@jhanneke001 "Broder context" was a way to avoid getting into the politics that has led to a stampede out of the East Bay. It is also a view of the real A's situation. In the 55 years the A's have been in Oakland, attendance has been below American League averages for every year except for 9 years. Even in 74, their 3-peat year, attendance was next to worst in the AL (Baseball Almanac). That suggest the market rather than the owner, performance, or stadium is the real issue. True, Oakland has had issues with owners, but when you talk about averages, you are comparing to other teams that have over the years had their own problems. Averages over 55 years speak pretty loud.
Broader context also refers to the attempt of the team to get a stadium in the Bay Area for 20+ years, which most ignore or forget. It also deals with the incompetence of Oakland officials. The team chose Howard Terminal, hoping they and the city would work together to deal with the steel mill. The A's attempt to deal with Schnitzer Steel failed in January 2023, without the city's help. So they never came close to a deal as Oakland reported, because HT was not appropriate for a baseball stadium with that steel mill next to it. The steel mill had a history of fires but the city still included it when they pitched the site to MLB in the Seattle meeting in July. In fact, the more recent fire in August, noxious fumes were so bad that people in both East Bay counties were advised to stay in and the city said fumes could extend as far south as San Jose. Imagine all the heatlh and legal issues with 20,000 people in a stadium next to a fire like that.
Las Vegas does have some problems, but the stadium support includes major unions as well as businesses. The public option doesn't take away a penny from education. It comes from a tax district paid by those who attend ball games. Most recognize the benefit of the A's and the stadium so the priorities of the politicians are exactly where they should be. And lastly, the stadium will draw many non-baseball events, so people here are not worried at all about the revenue.
@Vegas-Strong Daniel lay AKA VFX Soldier, why don't you just admit that fisher kaval are paying you to be their official shill apologist and they are giving you free as great when you and your 15 Vegas friends are constantly defending fisher and kaval just like Josh Raymond Albrektson, David Owen berry, Cesar, Louis Canedo who defends the 2nd banana nfl LA team who moved 120 miles north that nobody cares about. I bet John and Dave will pay you with free tattoos hot dogs and the A's mascot for betting their biggest cuckold nut licker of this move. If you aren't admitting it, you're just lying to yourself.
As a Nevada native who long ago moved to Wyoming. I fondly remember the A's from my youth. They belong in Oakland. Vegas in my eyes can't support this team. The summer heat, the Casinos....why would tourists come to a game when they can just hang out in the Casinos ? I know there are great baseball fans in Nevada, but Fisher isn't going to spend the money to field a competitive team, give the fans what they want to see....best thing that could happen is Fisher be forced to sell and Vegas keeps hosting a AAA team...
@@Vegas-Strong When is this stampede happening exactly, because I think people in the East Bay would welcome the reduced commute time, LOL. I know it makes you feel better to think this way, but the reality is that the population of the East Bay alone is larger than the entire metro area of Las Vegas. And that doesn't even include the rest of the Bay Area, or the adjacent Sacramento-Central Valley media market, which is the 20th largest in the entire country (Las Vegas is 40th in case you haven't seen that pointed out a few times). Here’s how you sell a house in the East Bay: you put it on the market for $1m, you have two open houses and then a dozen offers come in at 20% over asking. How is that happening if there is literally a stampede out of town? And you notice none of the real businesses in the East Bay (Chevron, Workday, Safeway, etc.) are moving to Las Vegas? Nor is John Fisher or his family’s business. Maybe you guys should offer these companies a few more billion in taxpayer money and they’ll move. IDK.
This “broader context” of which you speak is pretty much limited to these two doofus owners. In the case of Fisher, he could literally sell the team tomorrow to owners who would keep the team in the Bay Area…so where does that fit into the “broader context?” And if Las Vegas is so popular, why do you guys even have to spend taxpayer money? These guys should be jumping at the opportunity to get there. Because the real broader context is pretty simple: Las Vegas is paying for friends. You don’t have to read much more into it than that. If Oakland gave Mark Davis $701 million, he’d still be there. Oh and make no mistake: this is taxpayer money. They can tax whoever they want, and call it whatever they want, but every dollar of tax paid by citizens or visitors of Las Vegas for these stadiums is a dollar that doesn’t go into the local economy. And that doesn’t even factor in the taxes citizens will pay when there are cost overruns, unforeseen dips in tourism, etc. How much you want to connect that to the various other problems that exist in Vegas is debatable, but it certainly tells you where priorities lie.
Your comments about the attendance are just silly. If the A’s ownership desired attendance, why would they be literally trying to get people to not show up? And again, how does that address the fact that they took over a team averaging 26k fans a game and drove it down to 10k a game? All that above/below average stuff (if it’s even accurate) is just noise that doesn’t mean anything. Has that been cited by anybody involved in this process at any point? No, of course not, because it’s incredibly stupid. Last year, 13 teams had below the average per game attendance…are they all moving soon, LOL? Guess what, if the A’s move to a 30k seat stadium in Vegas and sell out every game for 30 years (a highly likely scenario I know), they would draw average to below average attendance that entire time. What is the theory of this dumb point about the market? That people in the Bay Area don’t go to baseball games? Who are all the people at the Giants games or the people who were going to A’s games before Fisher? Who were all those people at the reverse boycott game or the playoff game a few years back that broke the attendance record? The people from the A’s and the Las Vegas side involved in this move are pretty stupid, but even they’re not stupid enough to claim the A’s are moving because of attendance issues, or that they’ll somehow draw better in a 30k seat stadium where none of their fans live.
There is no way the A's are going back to Oakland. The Sell the Team campaign was the dumbest strategy of all time.
Let's Go VegA's! HOME MEANS NEVADA
Did you get your free hat and shirt for riding on John's nuts?
Loved this session with @brodiebrazil, he's great!
This should be an eye opener for everyone on how California and especially in Oakland that it's a LOT harder to try and rig anything. You're not going to find much corruption or pay-2-play schemes. You may not like the politics, but it's rather slow and tedious to the books. In Nevada? Only takes a couple months (probably weeks) to smooth some politicians and buy into what you want rofl. We learn about and make fun of corrupt countries for doing these sorts of tactics, but honestly... the USA is absolutely no different. Complete corruption in and through our politics. The system needs massive change and we must revert back to Square Deal/New Deal politics and break up these trusts in every market.
