Your 2025 Oakland A's........Welcome to Sacramento!

the A's moved into the coliseum, prior to us landing on the moon. they had a dynasty in the 70s didn't get a new stadium. a WS in the 80s, didn't get a new stadium. greatest leadoff of all time, the bash bros in the 90s, didn't get a new stadium. a team worth making one of the great sports movies about in the 00s, didn't get a new stadium. they used to have billboards protesting the new stadium locally, cuz it didn't do this this and that, for local groups that had nothing to do with the stadium. so Oakland doesn't get baseball, serves the city right, not the ppl but the city fools. they viewed this as a cash grab for them. you would think they would learn from the Warriors and Raiders leaving but no. it's just a really poor city leadership over there. A's aren't doing anything the other sports haven't already done.. which is leave.

Oakland isn't friendly toward pro sports and they have no pro sports anymore.

With how Fisher's stadium deals have fallen through, and lack of clarity in Vegas, I'd say there's a not insignificant chance the A's never leave Sacramento for LV if attendance is solid and, the Vegas stadium gets delayed and the new ownership interests in Sacramento win over MLB leadership to force Fisher to sell. Vegas is still the odds on favorite, but it's not a foregone conclusion.

i say this in jest, but that may be a bit of good that Milton did. the ballpark in tampa was like MLB in side a Costco warehouse. it was terrible. now the solution is not play ball in Oakland. that makes less than zero sense. and Oakland is even worse of a stadium than the old Rays stadium. just play ball in a spring training site in FL. Rays don't get attendance anyway. we need to just blow up the Coliseum so bad ideas like this don't take root.

fisher doesn't have the money and is looking from welfare from state lmao

just stay in Sac, let Vivek buy the team

Should've been San Jose
