The fact that we in Vegas do not have enough money for schools but we happen to have 500 million for a stadium... makes me sick.

I really don’t understand how you haven’t blown up in popularity your videos are well spoken and informative

if i'm from vegas, i don't want a team that's owned by john fisher. I would want an expansion team with a different owner. what's the point of having the a's move here if fisher is still not going to put together a competitive roster

Sounds like renovation flip. They are going to build it up in Vegas and flip it for a huge profit.

I grew up in Oakland, I can't blame any of these teams for wanting to leave Oakland is a dump if I owned the A's I would do the same thing with a higher payroll.

Remember with the raiders, their percentage of ticket sales at 97% is almost last in the league in attendance

They should tour with the Savanah Bananas while waiting to open in Vegas..

Oakland Coliseum is a dump. Surrounding area is a dump filled with crime, drive-by parking lot shootings, homeless encampments filled with raw sewage etc. Gave up on the A's years ago - sad. The thought of rooting for the Giants kills me. Heartbroken 💔

Real Estate 101.... The city of Oakland IS the landlord, not the Oakland A's. The city of Oakland IS responsible for the sad state of the Oakland Coliseum, not the Oakland A's. When your lease is about to expire, if your landlord desires you sign a new lease, the landlord is most likely willing to make improvements, such as new paint, carpet, kitchen appliances, and even a new toilet. Without any doubt whatsoever the city of Oakland IS a BAD landlord.

Thanks Joe That answers lots of my questions 🙌🙌

News flash. There is more to life than sports. God Bless Oakland. May the city thrive on. Howard Cosell said it best. "In that time, I came to realize, however reluctantly, that there was an inexorable force working against revelations of truth about sports in America. That force exists in the form of an unholy alliance between the three television networks and the sports print medium. It is the fundamental purpose of both, for their own reasons, to exalt sports, to regale the games, the fights, the races, whatever, to the point where these contests are indoctrinated into the public mind as virtual religious rituals."

Very good Video!

7:03 "but this really wasn't Oakland's fault." Bullcrap. Let me explain why. You're not wrong in blaming John Fisher and the A's ownership group for doing all the wrong that they did. However, you ARE wrong in basically letting the Oakland city government off the hook in this issue. As you said, it takes two to tango in negotiations, and I'm sorry but I don't see any proof whatsoever that the city of Oakland ever negotiated in "good faith", as Mayor Sheng Thao put it. Do you see what Oakland as a city is dealing with, putting baseball aside? Whose fault is that? Oakland city government. They had at least 20 years to get a new stadium deal done with the A's, and the politicians dragged their feet every chance they got. If the local government truly cared about keeping the A's (or any pro sports team) in Oakland, they would have gotten a deal done instead of the nonsense we've seen. There are no good guys/heroes in this story. I see nothing but bad guys/villains jockeying for position, and of course the fans are the ones who get hurt the most. You can't 100% blame the A's for not wanting to wait forever for Oakland politicians to get their act in gear while playing in a collapsing Coliseum and settling for Las Vegas. Plenty of blame to go around imo.

Hopefully Vegas can get Fisher to put some money into the A's.

Yes that 12 billion Howard terminal project was a fraud I don't think any fan really thought that would happen,there's nothing wrong with coliseum site you have Bart tear down old stadium and build around stadium, restaurants hotel shopping housing but sports teams want out of Oakland now the coliseum has renovated a few times

You seem to ignore that the A's have spent 5 years and $100M to try to build on Howard Terminal. Why would the team do that just to move to another city? Only if they felt it was too risky to continue. They also funded fighting the various lawsuits. Also --- what is "Grant money". Its PUBLIC TAX MONEY from the state, city or Feds. And they needed an estimated $600M and couldn't get it enough of it, even from a friendly State and Federal government.

A’s finally get to change of scenery by relocating to Las Vegas because Oakland is a dump. Next stop 🛑: A NBA team!

If they do move, nothing is certain yet, I'm hoping the stadium they build looks similar to Es Con Field in Japan

ok answer this ? why did the raiders and warriors leave if it wasn't the city ?

They are not moving to Las Vegas unless they stadium deal is a done deal, it's not a sure thing when it comes to politics

It’s very simple. The A’s had plenty of hurdles and run arounds dealing with the city of Oakland, Las Vegas, has a lot of sponsors waiting to pounce and the money is there. It was just a matter for the A’s just telling southern Nevada that hey, we’re committed to move. That’s all it took. Commitment. I’m originally from Oakland and now living in Henderson. Infrastructure and projects here are built in 3-4 years, Oakland takes decades. 🤣

Mlb AND A's are smart, they WANTED to trade every player an get AAA players to have nobody come to stadium SO All the owners an MLB could say Oakland ain't baseball city so teams could vote for them to leave, NOW that's smart RICH people.. 😢

Can we move N Vegas to oakland ?

Hope we sign shohei ohtani next year

100% right on everthing!!!!!!!!

I totally support the A’s moving to Vegas. Beautiful move.

What Vegas locals and casual fans dont realize is that you guys might get a brand new stadium but you get the same cheap owner only way you guys will have a better A's than Oakland is if Fisher sales the team.

They're actually now looking to tear down the Tropicana and put the stadium they're across from MGM grand

You claim that Vegas loves the Raiders, but did you forget that the Raiders sold more seats to visiting fans than their own? Those crowds were mostly wearing the other teams colors.

It’s is significant that the cost difference between Oakland and the Vegas stadium is 10 billion dallors

Fisher is the worst thing to happen to baseball. I’m still hoping a miracle saves the A’s in Oakland, it’s where they belong.

This team is gonna break so many records and this team is gonna break so many records it is everything you need hot high altitude dry and everything so hyped and can’t wait to use them in MLB the show and can’t wait to see them break so many home run records

and the warriors had to move to san francisco

This could be a great thing in disguise regarding John Fischer investing in the future Las Vegas A's since both him and Mark Davis despise each other. It'll force both the A's and the Raiders to actually compete properly (basically a sports arms race) for the sports/entertainment dollar aka investing in their franchises.

Vegas Athletics baby!!! It would've took other 10 years to try to do something in Oakland. Lets thank the Mayor, no more pro sports in Oakland.

Wrong question. Does the city of Oakland deserve to keep the A's. Nobody cares if an owner shows up to games or speaks the press. In fact, most prefer a silent owner. Further, who among us would want to deal with ideologs (city of Oakland) that place BS requirements on every project (low housing). The city made everything complicated, and it is always off the backs of the developer. So, the A's responded with a sell off of assets to push the issue over the edge. Good for them and good for Vegas.

I bought my place by where they were supposed to build this stadium. Now that I’ve seen how Oakland runs their city. How dirty and unsafe it is to live here. I won’t be staying much longer. For those that live here or have visited Oakland. This really is one of those most beautiful cities. The lack of effort to clean and keep it safe is a real tragedy. Oakland is a gem, unfortunately it takes leaders with values to see value.

The new stadium will on the strip where the Tropicana is.

Almost took you seriously, UNTIL I realized you left out a part in this whole story. The more I hear about the #Athletics As Las Vegas situation, the more half baked it feels. * No Legislation Passed No design architect * No ballpark renderings Asking for $500M * Upset power players in LV * needs MLB owners' approval for waived relocation fee Please I’m not saying aren’t fully going but it’s not “OFFICIALLY” confirmed than you stated or clickbaiting people into thinking. I get it tho anything for the clicks

It’s not official.

Las Vegas A's: Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!

The A's found out how much Raiders were making in Las Vegas, so NOW they want to go there now, if I was Vegas I wouldn't want them cause they don't care about winning just make them selfs RICHER

Is Raiders owner Mark Davis going to sue the Las Vegas A's??????????

Well researched, well spoken, quality work good sir. I hope your sub count goes to the moon.

You don't live in Vegas if you think that land is a good location. In fact, you've never visited Vegas and been to Allegiant Stadium if you think that land is a good location.

So as an owner, he's just making a bunch of money and pocketing it? Is this all just TV money? Having a losing team with 0 attendance can't help the value of the team.

Is Las Vegas going to Steal a Basketball Team from another City also ???

Raiders make great sales, yes. However it isn’t the same fanbase as Oakland. Not as passionate

It's closer than a mile. It literally is across the street from TMobile arena and 3 blocks north of Allegiant Stadium

A’s go to Vegas…. They’re going to suck for at least a few years, right? They have one “top 100 MLB prospect”… they’d take the same team they have now… 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😏 It would be funny if Vegas backs out on the tax incentives… Vegas has hand now.

Im cool wit everything except for funding with tax payer money.

Selig to wolff ? That sounds like some inside tribe shit !

Is Vegas going to get a Major League Soccer team??? If so, does this mean another $500 million in taxpayer money???

Why theyre moving? Because john joe fisher is a jew and has been penny pinchin with this team just to get his way.

A's have the lowest attendance yet have the largest stadium by seat capacity in all of MLB. If they didn't move they may have imploded onto themselves
