Fisher will just rake in money and still not spend on the team and the A's will stay a AAAA team

Because Nevada is willing to pay for a billionaires playthings and the city of Oakland rightfully refuses to do so.

Love it. Oakland is a shithole and we can blow up the Tropicana. That part of the strip needs to continue growing. East side across from Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay is all desolate.

I wonder how places like Oakland or Green Bay ever got pro teams in the first place?

Like - aren't there 30+ cities with larger populations and no pro team? WTF.

More like the city can't afford pro sports teams anymore. In the span of a decade they have lost all of them, it's a crumbling dump.

Green Bay is a grassroots team that can never be replicated again. Oakland's huge, so I dunno what you mean by that.

Oakland is part of the Bay Area which is one of the largest metropolitans in the US. This is like saying "How did Arlington get a team? They're so small" when they're literally part of Dallas-Fort Worth

Thought this had already been confirmed, but I guess its good that its finally finalized.

Athletics fans had some good stuff this year but kinda too little too late. Let another area enjoy the team.

Honestly, I'm never happy about this news. Oakland didn't fail these teams, the teams failed them.

Yeah I believe it's going to be like, partially roofed, whatever that means.

There will definitely be times where the sun is overhead.

Amazing that some people in here actually support this. I don't know or care whether Oakland is a shithole or not. But I do know that billionaire sports owners are the scum of the earth and they always deserve to lose.
