As for improvements to the stadium, it's the lipstick on a pig argument. No lie it's a dump...but it is OUR dump! Best option on the table was probably to rebuild on the spot but the Giants were unwilling to share their ballpark while that was being done.

not disagreeing but the As Owners cannot worry about what the raiders did and they have to as a business think about making money and in that dump of a coliseum does not help.
The City and the Owners both played games and sadly the few A's fans that are left suffer for it
