A's headed to Las Vegas
It seems like it's all but official now with the purchase of the land. Thoughts?

So this will be the Athletics, not only 4th different city, but 4th different state to call home.
Guessing this is tops in MLB. Braves also have called 3 different states home along with the Browns/Orioles/Brewers(different from the modern day Brewers). |

It’s good for baseball
Their stadium is terrible, the owner was not investing in the team and the fans rightfully gave up on the team. Hopefully new stadium, new excitement and new funds for a competitive team

Looks like they're headed back east - they should be back in Philly by 2075

I thought they were actually going to pull off a new ballpark in Oakland this time around but lets face it, projects like this are not at the top of our California bureaucrats list, they're too busy banning natural gas, raising our taxes, and doing their best to alienate the middle class. Congrats to Nevada and Las Vegas, should be a nice re-start for such a storied franchise. And every thread needs a card... - |

Better be a covered stadium because even at 7pm in August it's over 100

How things have changed.
At one point Mays was "banned" because he invested in and did some PR stuff for a casino. Welcome back when that all ended. Having a franchise in Vegas would have been nearly unthinkable. Now? No problem. Gambling money is paying for that, one way or another. Baseball pretty much isn't baseball anymore. To avoid the obvious hypocrisy they should have and induction ceremony for both Jackson and Rose during the home opener. |

Need to bump this! What a turn of events by politicians! Redirecting money already tabbed for other projects to fund the stadium...and politicians say no way. Who thinks the A's won't get the money for publicly financing their stadium? I wouldn't want to publicly finance a team that willingly chooses to lose either. I hope Fisher doesn't get the money.
