The Oakland Athletics shocked the baseball world when they announced they'd be moving to a minor league stadium. There are a lot of issues with this, sure. But what's it really like to see a game in the Major League Baseball's newest and smallest stadium? And what's all the controversy surrounding this decisions.

Good takes. But 90 degrees and dry with frequent delta breezes coming off the Sacto River literally right next to the ballpark is not more heinous than 90 degrees and 50,000% humidity in Houston, Dallas, Philly, Pittsburgh, KC, Baltimore, DC, Atlanta, NYC, Boston etc. Delta breezes mean there will be some Summer nights in Sacto that resemble the frozen tundra of Candlestick Park in July.

It doesn’t sound like you’ve ever been to Sacramento in the summer because if you had, you’d know that it only slightly cools down at night during one of the cities heat waves, with daytime temperatures hitting 105 degrees and above with no evening delta breeze in sight. Also most of the seats in the lower section are directly in the sun so you will roast like a pig on a Hawaiian barbecue.

@takiharo 2 ай бұрын

@@SlipKid1975 Hey, at least it's not Redding. That would be worse than Phoenix and almost as bad as Houston or Arlington. The only thing I can figure is that they take the temperature readings at the water treatment plant since it's always atleast 2 degrees warmer than what the weather app says.

@jerkytoo8184 Ай бұрын

I've attended a couple of day games at this park, sitting on the "Homerun Hill" in the outfield. During the summer with 105 degree heat, it's no picnic. Maybe I'm a wimp, but I've never lasted a full day game with that heat. Even during the first few innings of a night game during the summer you're still getting direct sun on the first base side. Not very comfortable. Once the sun sets, the delta breeze usually kicks in, but it's always the case.

I worked in the parking lot at Rally Field in 2019; the last year it was called by that name (and the year the River Cats won the Minor League World Series!). The stadium is immaculate and the River Cat organization treats the fans and their employees very well. Best non-career job I ever had! A lot of fun. When it was owned by the Savage family, the pay and perks couldn’t be beat. Not sure about now. Over 1 summer working in the parking lot I experienced maybe 3 days where the heat was so bad, standing in the sun was unbearable. We used canopies on those days. Most day games you could count on the delta breeze to cool things down mid- afternoon…at least convinced you of that…but always making it tolerable. The sun was the devil. Night games were the best time to watch a game! Maybe schedule all night games to beat the heat? One of the old timers once told me that when they built the stadium back in the late 90’s, they built the stadium foundation to allow for an additional deck(s) to be built should stadium expansion be necessary in the future. Word was that the Sac area and the Savage family always had an outside hope of attracting a major league team to Sacramento someday and wanted that option. Was never able to verify that story but the same guy told me…… The story about the War of the Stadiums between the cities of West Sacramento and Sacramento trying to attract the Vancouver Canadians to Sacramento back in the mid-late 90’s. Within miles of each other, both cities began constructing stadiums to attract the team. Eventually budget constraints caused Sac Town to stop building the baseball stadium-this later became the site of Arco Arena north of Sac in Natomas; another failed sports venture. This I personally confirmed. If you Google Map the Arco or Sleep Train Arena in Sac, you can still see the columns and foundation to the unfinished River Cat stadium. The playing field is now a pond. Thankfully, it looks like they finally knocked down that hideous Sleep Train arena.

I absolutely LOVE THIS VIDEO. Although I'm a little biased. I work for a company that provides the staff with access to "The Special Area" (on occasion) and "The Patriot of Fun" is A VERY FUN and cool guy" and happens to be MY HUSBAND!! Lol. I'm looking forward to watching the A's play. I watched them with my Grandfather many decades ago. Although I haven't seen them for a very long time, we will see many games in Sac if the tickets stay reasonable.

@AdamDoesNotExist Ай бұрын

No way. That's incredible! I always love when people wear A's and Giants gear at the same time. And It looked like he was having a blast. We should all aspire to be your husband.

Merlino's r great! The stadium is great though small. games often sell out or are near it. Confession stands are plentiful and great. All the place needs is more capacity. Like 20k + more. It also draws from a very large area.

One difference is that you can walk, or park your car, or take the bus/light rail from Sacramento to West Sac, and not get bipped, assaulted, and robbed. Can you say that about walking from Downtown Oakland or along Hegenberger Road?

@AdamDoesNotExist 2 ай бұрын

I live in downtown Oakland and take Bart. And I did an entire video on Hegenberger Road. So I guess you can.

@@AdamDoesNotExist You can, doesn’t mean everyone is else can. You are young and a risk taker. And that’s Fine. But People with families and especially young children may not be. And that’s why families that can, and want a better and safer life, are leaving Oakland. There is a reason why Denny’s, Starbucks, Black Bear Diner, and even In and Out, have all closed nearby.

Merlanos freezes were made from scratch sorbet like things. The small business really took off in Sacramento. Since nothing was pasteurized, every little thing had to be sterilized on a near constant basis. As the clientele exploded this became too much of an issue. The same issue almost bankrupted Jamba Juice some years later.

To have chance to see Shohei or other MLB stars so up-close & intimate will be fantastic. Sactown has been a great minor league town - hot days, warm / cool nights - MLB games there will be fine. $50 for, what effectively is court side or 50 yard line major league sports seat, without the buzz of a billion $ stadium, ain't bad.

@AdamDoesNotExist Ай бұрын

Yeah, it's a lot to pay for a minor league game, but not bad at all considering the seat! I'm sure prices will go up next season though!

@markpollock2324 Ай бұрын

I've enjoyed this stadium for years, and I've also enjoyed the coliseum for years. You gave a pretty fair review, and I really agree with the "Can the A's sustain attendance even here?" question at the end. Ultimately, I think they can't, and I think this will once again shut down Sacramento's attempts to bring MLB to the region for years to come.

@AdamDoesNotExist Ай бұрын

It will certainly be interesting to watch. But my guess is John Fisher in Sac will be the same as John Fisher in Oakland.

@SippyCupAdventures 2 ай бұрын

Fun video, Adam. It is a nice ballpark. I still can't support Fisher when they get here until I know Vegas is a moot point, and Sacramento gets the permanent call, but even then, I will be hesitant until he sells. Tomorrow, the 27th, the SELL protests will be taking place. Naturally, we will be in the city this weekend, so, I can't attend.

With this ownership, a minor league ballpark is where the A's belong....Its my wish and hope to watch the A's move to Vegas and flop worse than they have for the past 10 yrs...With all the money in baseball and to see what this ownership has done to maximize that leaves one hoping just what i said and what this organization as it stands would deserve....They have fielded a minor league team for yrs then want to complain they cant put people in the stands or are not playing in a shinny new ball park...They make it easy to root they fail....

I had no clue they moved the A's to a minor league park, that isn't right. However, I love minor league ball and I love junior hockey. We have a junior hockey team in my city and the entire city gets behind these guys when they play. The team, stadium, and concessions are all pretty well run so the experience is great. The major NHL team nearby I am still a fan of but I have season tickets to my local junior team.

this is why the MLB needs a hard salary cap and floor. That way teams like that yankees and dodgers can't just buy every player that's available, and teams like Oakland can't have the payroll less that Ohtani's single year salary...

as a sacramentan, river cats games are a great time, def not a mlb stadium, but like you said the foot is good, the atmosphere is good, its a fun time. Worried about the A's moving in and messing it all up tbh. Also the river cats were the A's triple A team during the 2000s

I really hope they don't. Vibes at the stadium were exactly what they should be. It would be a shame if that changes.
