Have to agree with the OP. I don't see that stadium getting built al with all the factors working against it. First of all, they don't seem to have the money to build it. Then on top of that is on an 8-9 acre parcel of land? That's not how current MLB teams operate when considering new stadiums. They want a lot of surrounding land to build business districts to maximize profits. The A's can't do this with this land. It would make much more sense to build it elsewhere in Vegas just due to this. All the while Utah is breathing down the neck of any MLB relocation with 900 million of public funding already allocated for an MLB team. A site to build a new stadium with over 100 acres perfect to build a business/sports district around. Easy access public transportation that goes right to the site already. Also an ownership group already ready to make the purchase. I think this becomes another Expos/Arizona Coyotes situation. MLB buys the team and sells them. Maybe it's to a different Vegas ownership group with a different idea. All I know is that rendering for the Sydney Opera House in Vegas looks so Mickey Mouse. The capacity is a joke too. FWIW, TB faces a different issue. Building in St Pete is not going to change anything with their current issues. MLB in Florida just hasn't worked.

Please don't come to Nashville....there is no money here to build a stadium.

So how come Nashville virtually a lock on one of the two new MLB expansion teams?
@OldRustySteele2 ай бұрын
Nashville would be better off with an expansion team than this sorry franchise. I’m sad for the loyal Oakland fans - and yes, they do exist.

The A’s picked the wrong time to get greedy. Attendance is down, people don’t care, the rules have been ruined, players are smug a-holes who only fight and flip bats, prices are too high, and baseball is dying. DYING. The A’s are just the first to notice.

I think salt lake is going to try and poach the A's. They have money and a site to build a stadium they just need to get a team to want to go to salt lake or Utah

The A's have always been and always will be for the streets. They never belonged to Oakland.

The Oakland A's have a fascinating history and are my 2nd favorite Baseball team. However, their ownership is greedy and self-destructive. The Giants play less than 20 minutes away. It looks like they will be stuck in Sacramento. Does Vegas even want the A's or even a Baseball team in general? This nomadic team approach opens up all kinds of doors.

Someone needs to take the team from him seriously. He has zero social queue. Read the room dude, your not a baseball guy, leave

There are open air stadiums with hot and humid conditions in the US. Think St Louis, or Cincinnati. However, you are not understanding that it doesn't reach max temp say 101 until 6 pm. most of the morning and early afternoon it goes from 60s up into 90s as the day progresses. That is why the Rivercats play day games.

The current owner of the A's is terrible, all he cares about is the money. Just relocate the A's to Utah.

After this, I hope Las Vegas gets an expansion team instead of the A's, their ownership is a total dumpster fire.

I absolutely despise the Vegas situation that is infecting pro sports. The worst city in the world corrupting the spirit of the game just so a few old white guys can make a few extra bucks. Who wants to field a team in a stadium where half the fans aren't even supporting the home team?

They will probably just play those 8-10 home games away back in Oakland to elicit fan support

The owner is single handily ruining the history and legacy of a once great franchise that even 3ish years ago was making the playoffs. Not to mention that plenty of people are interested in buying the A’s but the owner is so bad he chose to tank the team just to move to a city that doesn’t want him. Truly sad to see.

Sunday games could start at 12 noon in Vegas because the temperature does not peak until 5-6pm so if they played 12-3 it might be cooler than a night game….

I mean it is only 8 games. It is weird but hardly a major issue.
@jeremyd18692 ай бұрын
It's a huge issue for Vegas. They would lose a ton of money if the A's play a bunch of home games elsewhere.
@miggy37352 ай бұрын
Now that they’re closing down Golden Gate Fields horse race track that would be another option for the A’s to move in. It would still have a view of the Bay and they wouldn’t have to leave.

I would venture a guess to say he wants those extra neutral site games so he can book 8 more concerts or whatever to double dip revenue wise without being mandated to put that towards the team or mlb revenue.
