Nope. Media BS. Want proof? The instant the A's announced they were moving these same "buyers" should have been in front of a camera saying they would finish the stadium and put in an MLB expansion proposal. Did they? No. They all disappeared as soon at the rubber hit the road. 30 MLB owners voted for the A's to leave Oakland not knowing when or where they would go. Not one stood up for the fans of Oakland. That should tell you something. The something is there's not enough money in the market to support an MLB team in the Giant's backyard. Ever since the Giants built their new stadium their attendance was up while the A's were down. And don't tell me how great a team the Giants have been because we all know they've sucked.

In response to the "How do you build a Vegas audience?" question. In regards to the VGK, sometimes it's circumstantial. I am an out-of-market transplant fan in SD. I fell in because of how the Chargers left SD at the time of VGK's start. I was able to relate due to my absolute revile at Spanos wanting local taxpayer money for a private stadium project. VGK was fully built without taxpayer subsidies. I found that highly refreshing. And they just happened to be good out of the gate.

[@jackolantern22]

Because if you do that by $$$ then NYC, BOS, DAL and LA get all the teams. 3+ each. Once you do Oakland... then they could do Cleveland, Kansas City, Cincinnati. The shuffle is on then.

I am not in favor of letting teams move. If MLB wants a team in Vegas, then add a expansions team like they did with the Knights. Dont steal a team from a city who has supported a team for a very long time. This move will be an epic failure, long term but pro sports dont think long term. MLB is different than the NFL or NHL. No way your going go get a lot of attendance for 81 games to a dome in a small market with ticket prices higher than locals can afford. The Hockey and Football teams benefit from out of towners who can’t get tickets to their home team in their home city going to Vegas to watch a game and add in a vacation. The majority of fans at both a Knights game and a Raiders game are out of towners. Baseball is not the same draw. Anyone can see any baseball game they want any time in their home city.

If there was an ever a situation where a city could tell a pro sports team to pay for their own stadium it’s Vegas. Vegas has two teams already (they really only care about the Golden Knights), they are not desperate for tourism, and they have multiple venues for concerts (Allegiant, The Sphere, T-Mobile Arena, and multiple casinos have their own arenas/theaters.) I genuinely don’t understand how a baseball team helps that city at all.

[@mattortegadotcom]

It is truly insane to me how much sports went from "sports" to "entertainment experiences" like an amusement park. Entire leagues. They've completely abandoned the idea of "what's in the interests of the [sport]" itself. Sometimes protecting the game should take precedence over an immediate money grab. Sure, there's money to be made in Las Vegas but be smart about it. Actually be *successful* at it.

Think back to when you went to a ball game. The stadium has everything you need to enjoy a game.

[@MrRicklynch57]

To be fair the Bay Area is not a 2 team market. The A’s and Raiders only played in Oakland, because the AL and AFC wanted representation in the Bay Area TV market in the 60s. Both leagues are no longer separate. In 2012 and 2013 the A’s finished 1st place in the AL West. They averaged just over 20,000 fans a game across the Bay the Giants were averaging over 41,000 fans. Both were 1st place teams in 2012. The 2013 Giants finished in 3rd place. In 2018 the Giants finished in 4th place and the A’s went to the ALCS and yet 2 million more people went to Giants games that year. The A’s proved that putting a winning product on the field wasn’t luring fans. Investing a billion dollars or more in a ballpark where there is no guarantee anyone is going to is a huge risk. I don’t like John Fisher, I think what he did is terrible, however if it were my money I would say, I can’t beat the Giants. Since baseball wouldn’t let them move to San Jose he had no choice, but he could’ve handled this like a living breathing human being.

[@aaronblaylock2092]

[@dr.awkward9075]

I must be the only person who's not disappointed. The city of Oakland is a dump & is on the verge of collapse. The A's haven't been competitive since Brad Pitt was the GM 20 years ago. Even then they were barely competitive. They really haven't been relevant since the early 90's. Also, the Coliseum was garbage with it's 9000 feet of foul ground. Good riddance!

[@floverdan5180]

While you are 100% correct about the state of Oakland, you are wrong in saying they haven't been competitive in the last 20 years. They had a pretty damn good 3 year spell from 2012-2014 where they made the playoffs each year. Maybe if John Fisher actually spent more money on our roster we would have been a much better team. With the lowest payroll in baseball we over performed year after year after year. The owner intentionally sold off all our best players year after year and we consistently had the lowest payroll in the league while our owner, a friggin' billionaire, is one of the wealthiest owners in MLB. He intentionally tanked our team to draw less crowds and didn't do much to renovate the Coliseum so he could blame A's fans (who mind you were top half in the attendance every year from the 70's through the early 2000's) for poor attendance, thus collaborating with commissioner Manfred to push this relocation. It was John Fisher's goal from the very beginning of his tenure as A's owner to move the team.

[@floverdan5180]

And say what you will about the Coliseum but that is my team's home for the last 57 years and so much history has been made in the stadium, from sports to concerts. I've attended nearly a hundred games there and while it may be a dump, it's my dump and my favorite MLB stadium on a personal level and I've visited a dozen of them throughout my life. I enjoyed the large foul territory, really made our stadium unique and players like Eric Chavez capitalized on it and earned his Golden Gloves by all the crazy catches he made around the dugout. It would have been great to move into that beautiful planned ballpark at Howard Terminal, it was all ready to go but our cheap ass billionaire owner John Fisher couldn't spare $90 million on it.. he wanted most of the expenses paid by the city of Oakland and Alameda County. Now instead of playing outdoors in a region with nice weather, with diehard fans the A's will be playing in a dome in the desert with very little local fan base in Las Vegas and their games will be mostly attended by tourists rooting for the away team which you can already see happening at Allegiant Stadium for Raiders games.
