I'm not even an A's fan, but this broke my heart. How could John Fisher do this to these people that have supported the Athletics for 50+ years and look himself in the mirror? And the messed-up part is he's from the Bay- what a traitor!! And yes, tbe city of Oakland officials have to be held accountable as well. But at least they speak out in public, unlike Fisher. Oakland fans, my heart goes out to you.
MLB did nothing to prevent this, either - a franchise with five championships should have had some effort to preserve its history and place in the league, but no, the billionaires need a few dollars more
baby gap destroy this beloved team, hopes he sell it for good...
Might happen to the Diamondbacks as well.
Lol when your city turns to a s-hole it’s easy
You can't operate a business that is bleeding oceans of losses every game. Oakland, the city, did this to every professional sports franchise, if anything, Fisher held out WAY LONGER than anyone else, hoping they would stop electing Marxist activists into power there. He tried harder than any other major team owner.
Im from Germany,and when I was a teenager,we barely could watch any baseball here. Just a recorded game once in a while. So my first games were the Oakland A‘s with the Bash Brothers,and they became my team. I’m sorry that you lose the A‘s,I never thought this would be possible. MLB should have forced Fisher to sell,and owners should be responsible for building their stadiums as well. They are billionaires,and want to make money. Well,invest! I hope,someday you get a new team,and they have to be called the A‘s again!
Dear Oakland, Montréal feels you!
Yeah, you guys also got hosed.
@@Silence_Duder_Gooder Yep! 20 years ago this year...
@@majoriedc, sorry buddy.
I remember your great teams and players.
I feel bad for you lot. Hopefully you guys get your team back if the MLB does another expansion
Montreal ??? Yeah...no one showed up after the strike, I understand. But low attendance low ticket sales, what you expect?
As an Astros fan , I can honestly say I felt the heartbreak here
When I worked in downtown SF in the 90s I was a huge baseball fan and I would often go to A's games. What was crazy is that the Coliseum was closer to downtown SF than Candlestick. I worked in finance so work ended by 3 usually, so I could beat the traffic and skip over and watch the Yankees, Sox, Blue Jays. Watching an A's game before Mount Davis was always a wonderful evening, unlike games at the Stick.
I could never imagine losing my favorite team, I feel for all those guys. You could tell some of them were shook up
How could Fisher live with himself? Look at all of these fans man. They were always there in spirit, just not in the seats during the recent seasons because that would mean paying money to an owner that never cared about them. We deserve better. They took what was a precious tradition with my father and myself and said too bad so sad. Anger and sadness💔😡
Where were they all season before the game today?
@@Dman425Fisher did everything he could to alienate the fan base for years. He’s not the good guy here.
@@MichaelJW72 I feel your pain. The Sonics owner did the same thing after buying them before he moved them
@@MichaelJW72he will have his karma and wonder why he’s been hit with it. Well fella you’re a nasty person it seems like and you probably look down on others who aren’t a rich old snob like you
From a lifelong Phillies fan, I'm glad the Athletics won their final game in Oakland. Hold on to your memories. Never let them go. A's ⚾
😢 After this weekend, the Oakland A's are "no more". Yet the Tampa Bay Rays who field a good, competitive team every year can't " draw flies" to their home games. And they stay in business! Go figure.
1:33
Tampa averages 5,000 more per game than Oakland
Let’s go Oakland 👏👏👏👏👏
As a O’s fan feel for you guys not Right! Oakland doesn’t deserve this!!☹️
Greetings to Oakland from Germany. Sad to see this. Maybe a miracle will happen. I wish it for all A's fans. Greetings from a german A
My father took me to my first world series game in 1973 the A's were playing the New York Mets. We went on to win 3 consecutive world series championships!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Oakland A's for all the great memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the owner I pray you get what you truthfully deserve in life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have skipped work, school, wedding, funeral, important job interview, child birth to attend the final A's game.
You're one heck of a fan.
⚾Texas Rangers Fan here😢and I got All choked up when I saw the "Good bye, We Love You A's" signs from the fans.🤧😭Just made me sooo Sad.I send my Love♥️from TEXAS to those suffering this heartbreaking situation.
If I was an A’s fan I would not have given Fisher a single dollar on the last day. History be dam, the only way these owners will understand anything is by hitting them in their pocket. Stop holding cities and the fan base hostage to your well intentioned mediocre sport teams which is build year in and year out. Fans of sports teams should stop supporting teams that do nothing to make their teams champions. All they do is make them competitive so you the fan can continue to hope and keep the owners happy by making them two or three times a billionaire.
Yankee fan here. That owner is done. Too many people hurt by this. Oakland A's are such a big part of baseball. The next 4 years are going to be hell. Who the hell is going to travel to Sacramento, and why would Sacramento care about them when they are only there temporarily? Owner messed up. Next year, I can see the ball park being completely empty. Not a single fan. Sell the team is gonna start spreading around the country.
It is sad the Oakland - Yankees games are done. The Yankees fans always packed that stadium. As for Sac though, that is A's territory. They will sell out every game. In fact, I predict they will do so well, that the A's find a way to stay there and build a small 30K stadium like Wrigley.
I live in Sacramento and we do care about baseball and sports in general. We tried really hard to get a MLS team and had it in our grasps! But the main guy behind getting a team left and now we won’t get a soccer team. We are just happy to watch a major league sports team even if it’s temporary. I’m a Yankees fan and hope to watch them play the A’s. Did you know Judge was born in Sacramento? West Sacramento is much safer than Oakland, so it’s good for the team to leave the unsafe and dangerous Oakland area
Sacramento fans are excited. And it gives them a chance to show out and prove that Sacramento wants a MLB team.
Another one bites the dust..Greed has ruined sports
The fans deserved so much better, long live the OAKLAND A’s
No fan of the A’s but dam this is painful to watch for these fans, FUXK Fisher, lying con
Stop blaming the Democrats. Oakland crime is not that bad, and Restorative Justice policies are working.
What a damn shame and I’m a Dodger fan.
Kudos to the news photographer that put this together. This is great work. Thank you.
As a Mets fan, Sad for me to see the A’s last games in the coliseum. That was my first World Series, watching in 1973. & seeing my Mets lose in game 7 at Oakland. I was still 7 (not 8 until that November) but I remember that series. Especially the last game.
Despite being a Giants Fan, I stand in solidarity with A’s fans as I know that this is truly a sad day for you all. However, if the City of Oakland had better leadership and the A’s owners including the owners of the other two teams that left weren’t too stubborn, the Coliseum City Proposal which involved redeveloping the entire area into a mixed-use neighborhood which would have included a new stadium should have been built instead considering the fact that the site is well served by transit including easy freeway access should have been approved and built. I do also believe that the A’s departure is likely going to increase the support to recall the Mayor of Oakland, and I won’t be that surprised if it does in fact happen.
As a' rival' Angels fan... I feel for these fans and it was hard to watch their emotions come out after the game was over. Damn you John Fisher for robbing these fans of their team!
It's a sad day. You gotta know banks and billionaires are running a mirage in the US that they care about customers. If you look at a filthy, rotten sole of an owner who has never built or creates anything ever in his life, you know he just cares about milking markets for cash. My guess is that owner has never built a thing in his life. He probably got a Wall Street bond for his birthday at 4 years old and was like, oh, I can just make cash but sitting home eating pudding. Hope Oakland gets a new team in 2-3 years.
No they aren't. The city is a disaster. They don't have enough money for schools much less a professional baseball team. Damn In and Out had to close down because it was dangerous to go there and eat. And you wonder why they left?
@@milt6208 there is no money for schools in NY, but they just taxed the people $950 million in education tax to pay for the Buffalo Bills stadium. See how you can tax people even when there is no money and people can't afford food?
@@imsnowedn New York is one of the richest cities in the world wtf you on?
@@warlordop713 your literally illiterate. You lived in NY? Highest taxes, highest rents in the country next to California. Yeah, probably you read nothing. You just remember when Donald Trump was King of New York in 1989, and based on that you decided everyone in New York was born rich. Uhhhh. Average pay in NY is $17/hour, average rent $1600, beef jerky $9.00 an ounce. Go figure. Also, New York is a State, with high State Taxes. It's not a city, unless you live in the .1% of the square mileage that is Manhattan, then you are in NYC
@@warlordop713and the Silicon Valley isn’t?
The city of Oakland didnt deserve this. Shame on the owner!
Fond memories of the Red Sox - A's rivalry (one-sided) in the late 80's, early 90's. The stadium looked enormous on TV back then.
Tons of posers that were never there until they heard it would be gone 😂
I just found out about this - From a Mets Fan I feel for Oakland right now.
I'm an A's fan but I went to many a game in the past 10 years and the fans barely show up. How can you say you loved them when barely went to games? This is one reason the are leaving and yes the ownership isn't the best. Fun fact Reggie Jackson was supposed to buy A's before Lou Wolfe and Bud Selig block it😢 Let's Go A's
Y'all better go to every game in Sacramento next year!
Hated the A’s in the 80’s and early 90’s because they always seemed to have my beloved Blue Jays number. Especially in the 1989 ALCS, but I can’t help but feel sadness and pity for those A’s fans. You all deserve so much better.😢
The Oakland A's Stadium, Was Old, But What Old Stadium Was So Fun Like This Stadium, IT WAS SO FUN😅😅😅😅
OAKLAND ATHLETICS FOREVER.
Greedy owners knows the loyalty fans showed over years 1968-2024.Oakland A's has some iconic moments in baseball history
I visited Coliseum once in 2014 for Red Sox @ A's. Sad for the fans and unbelievable how the owner John Fisher did for all.
As a Yankees fan, I am big on our beautiful game's tradition.
To me, the A's & Oakland have always gone hand in hand.
My heart goes out to the ppl of Oakland, Ca.
Oakland- Sacramento- las Vegas 🥎⚾️
Only saw baseball there once, but many concerts back in the day... walking through that bridge with the chain link cover thing.....
A's fan since day one. From Sacramento but rooted for the A's since I was a kid. It will not be the same with the A's not being in Oakland. Sad day
Damn I’m freakin old,,,, I’m just gonna kiss my son while he is sleeping and go to bed….
I’m not a athletics fan but I feel for the city of Oakland man as a raiders fan I felt that pain when they left Oakland ow the athletics man I can’t imagine that was all yall had and now it’s gone the memories people had there that will last a lifetime now those experiences will never be lived but now that the Oakland ballers are there I hope the at can at least fill that void in Oakland I know they are not a major league team but it’s better than nothing I’m hoping the xfl brings a football team to Oakland since the raiders are no longer there to fill that void that desperately needed in Oakland.
I visited San Francisco earlier this month, and when I went to the As game, it was like being at a mortuary.
And As fans attended this game why? Shouldn’t have given Fisher one cent.
I guess the Oakland fans now know how the people in KC and Philadelphia felt when the A's left those cities.
Probably first full house in years Charlie Finley would never allowed this pretty sad for the people and players
I was there for the last game of 2023, saw Shohei pitch..Might be the last game he ever pitches
this is terribly saddening.
I hope this doesnt turn kids tp trouble. Some kids need sports to keep them entertained ans united with their families.
bye-bye!!! GONE
A's, GSW, Raiders
Sell the team
It is sad. I'm still mourning the loss of Candlestick Park. Nothing ever stays the same and history is often lost.
Candlestick was a dump... Are you smoking crack
Yeah I agree and we say the past was better. If you really think about it most things are better today. Other than location and name, Levi Stadium is better than Candlestick Park and I have never been to Levi Stadium.
@@Atilla-m9i Maybe you remember the Candlestick Park cookies they sold for a brief period? My son did a commercial for them in Candlestick Park when it was closed so there were just a few camera people in there with us. We were out in the stands and if we were quiet, we could hear tones and sounds of games still circulating around us in the wind. Like history trapped inside. Awesome and eerie. And generations of my family went there together for games and events, adding to our family history. I met and saw some great Giants players for the time. Magic lived in Candlestick Park for us, for sure.
2:15 That sight makes a grown man weep. Packed stands.🥺
I made the news!!!!!!!
I'm a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan but my heart breaks for Oakland, I remember all the great players they had over the years and of course who can forget the 1990 World Series Oakland had so much talent on that team, I couldn't imagine losing my home team like that I would honestly be devastated.....when I collected baseball cards in the 80's I always liked the A's cards cause the uniforms were cool and I loved pulling a Mcguire, Henderson or Caneseco card...
It was great to see this great crowd coming out to see the A's last game in Oakland. But where was their support for this team previously? For years before this last game, the A's were last in attendance, averaging about 11.5k per game. Last year they averaged a little over 10K per game and in 2022 they did not even average 10K per game. Maybe if the team had more support from the fans, they would still be in Oakland.
Just a matter of time for them to leave. Oakland is a hot mess with leaderless politicians.
Name one
@@AllMagasGoToGitmooakland'll have 3 more teams before you get an answer here
Damn Oakland don’t have no more teams that’s crazy
Oakland is a dump. And you wonder why nobody wants to be there.
Between the raiders and now the A’s That City is Empty!…. Absolutely Sad!
Pirates fan here much rather see the Oakland A's at the coliseum than anywhere else and this is coming from Pittsburgh I hope something happens to keep that baseball team there because if it could happen to Oakland it can happen to Pittsburgh as well
Wish this had been a night game with fireworks afterwards, the A’s only had to travel to Seattle for tomorrows game
In reality, there are few MLB teams today that aren’t the result of a franchise moving to the current city.
Folks, professional sports is a business. The fans are the consumers.
Just as you would not care if Amazon broke up and disappeared, you should not care if a baseball team moves.
They don't owe you anything beyond the game you went to and paid for.
Then fans shouldn't make the deep emotional investment in the team in the first place. Come to think of it, what's the point in becoming a fan then?
Professional sports is a different animal from other businesses. It requires a level of generating fanaticism in order to be profitable. To achieve that, ownership needs to invest in the team and in the community. This didn't happen with the A's.
We will miss you Oakland A's 4EVER 4LIFE BOYEEE
If business is separated from game, such sad days will not be seen.
sad day for baseball and baseball lovers 😟
Another kick in the gut for the entire Bay Area. I’m an American Leaguer

As a season-ticket holder in Oakland for the Raiders,

I don’t blame these teams for wanting to leave the Bay Area. It’s turned into a $hithole
You ain't lying 🤥 the bay area from San Jose to Berkeley and all the cities in between are SH*T holes
Yeah, especially Oakland cuz its a MESS!!!!!
anyone else notice the lack of blacks in the crowd?
Weirdo
Padres fan here , i feel really bad for all the fans in Oakland you deserve better.
thanks ⚫ for scaring everything good away
A’s screwed the raiders for the city and got squat out of it
i would let alma dates ruin my life

Man that’s sad
The A's are from Philadelphia.
What are these people in Oakland crying about.
Philly is the true home of the A's.
Ask anyone in Philly.
😂
😂😂😂 damn funny
They left in the 50s. They have been in in Oakland longer than they have been in Philly.
No one in philly cares about the A s’
What about Kansas City?
I love how all the fans all of a sudden are boo whoing poor a's well where where u the last 10-15 yrs not suporting the tm i tell u that much ...
Where were they during the season, though?
This 👆
Blame the mayor Sheng Tao and fisher
This mess was why before Sheng Thao and John Fisher.
Steve Schott and Ken Hoffman purchased the franchise from the Walter A. Haas estate started it all.
Sad
😢
Whatever. No one showed them love when they WEREN'T leaving. Where were all the fans then?
Uh getting rid of good players?
The owner tanked the team so he can move to Vegas with his tax payer bought stadium.
Don’t blame the fans
😂😂😂Oakland think got a good team 🤣🤣🤣
As usual, the leadership in Oakland is given a free pass on this and the owner of the team, aka "the businessman", gets boos from the crowd. Fisher is the LAST person to finally give up, after massive losses, and take his professional team out of Oakland. He was the last team still in the room, hoping beyond hope that voters would stop choosing Marxist activists to lead Oakland.
Keep in mind, we're talking about the only location in the world to have an In-N-Out permanently close, ever, one of the most successful businesses in the world. Even they could not survive in Oakland.
Oakland criticizing Fisher for leaving is like hearing an abusive husband criticize his wife for leaving with two black eyes.
And yes, it is true: corporations will leave if they cannot operate with a profit. On a micro level, would you keep working for an employer who every Friday came to you and said, "Actually, I'm gonna have to ask you to give US some money this week... yeah..." The analogy of a corporation and a city is apt, because the corporation is there to work for the city, in the hopes that the city will like what they do, and give them money for it. That is how commerce has worked since the dawn of time. It's a brand new weird idea that corporations should operate at a loss and thank the city for that opportunity. Brand new. And absolutely untenable.
Yeah… keep having franchises in sports leagues instead of athletic clubs and that’s what you’ll ALWAYS get 🤷♂️
I don’t feel bad for the fans you know why? Look at their history over the past 10 years for home game sales. A JOKE. NOW fans wanna turn out for there LAST game? Pfff no loyalty
Are you talking about the fans or the owner?
People say “shame on the owner…” their city is crumbling as well, what did you expect?
The Nevada Athletics will be better off away from Pinko California
