Not only that but think of how many fans will want to watch a baseball game in Las Vegas in July and August? Absolute absurdity.

It might be as bad as watching games in Sacto at those times too. It gets incredibly hot there.

Las Vegas, is a massive sports city, where do you think all the sports gamblers live?

Bodysnatcher they/them 27d ago #6215112

I don't understand why they would even do this. Do they just have garbage ownership with huge money problems? I can't imagine there will be a lot of interest in a lame duck team in a subpar stadium in a second tier town to boot. :marseyconfused2:

Because the A's lease on the Coliseum ends after this season and the new LV park won't be ready until 2028 (probably 2029, if at all). Oakland gave the A's a list of their demands for an extension on the lease, the A's said no, and Sacto said here's what we can do.

Weirdly enough, the A's will now have to renegotiate their TV deal because they just lost $70M/year as it was tethered to them being in the Bay Area. Plus, whatever they're forking over to get the Sacto park up to MLB standards.

Oh, and the MLBPA will have to approve this too, and that might be iffy.

Bodysnatcher they/them AtRealRichardNixon 27d ago #6215233

What a shitshow, really does sound like r-slurred ownership that cannot plan ahead, especially with fricking up the TV deal and the renovations. Are they paying for the new stadium too?

Anyways its weird that they are doing this, and also weird that the NHL is going through something similar but to an even greater degree with the Arizona Coyotes. I wonder if pro sports are in trouble with the boomers getting on.

I didn't check, but I don't know how much the A's are paying for the renovations to the Sacto ballpark. The park itself is privately financed and paid-for, so it'll be interesting to see. Buffalo's AAA team renovated their park when the Blue Jays had to play like half a year there because of the coof.

From what I understand about the Yotes, their situation is the opposite of the A's: the owner wants to stay in the state and is playing out at the college barn to do so.

What's really happening is that many cities and states (not all, but more and more now) are waking up to the idea that paying for billionaire owners' stadia over their own citizens is a fool's errand.

Speaking of the Yotes, looks like that ownership may be up in the air again: https://arizonasports.com/story/3545484/arizona-coyotes-owner-alex-meruelo-sought-potential-buyers/

About darn time tbh. I love sports but holy frick are publicly funded stadiums almost always just money down the drain.

It would make sense if the city just bought the team period, so that they couldn't leave, like the packers.

Pretty sad for me. I'm from Chicago, so the Cubs are my first team, but when me and the family lived in Oakland we became A's fans because we didn't think it was cheating on the Cubs. The Coliseum was a lovely dump, beautiful field, amazing fans, but a dump. The owner, Fisher, is a fricker. I hope the Vegas deal breaks down completely and they're forced to stay in Sacto permanently, which, ironically, was one of the plans when they began the new ballpark project like 20 years ago.

People who really love the smell of cow shit. but seriuosly, the A's are only going to sac for the 2025-2027 seasons while they finalize the move to vegas in 2028.
