They aren't looking for much in the way of gate receipts if they are moving there. West Sacramento? SMH. Don't the Rivercats play there? Sacramento River Cats - Wikipedia

If the attendance is like last year, no problem fitting 3500 fans. I think the total for 2023 was 700,000 for the year.

They aren't making anything at the gate now, lucky to draw 3k in attendance in Oakland.

Back in the 70's the Padres were pretty poor. A warrant officer that I worked closely with suggested going to the games. The seats were cheap and the Padres were playing actual quality ball clubs.

The Sacto stadium holds 14K, but that is where the Giants triple A affiliate Rivercats play. I wonder how they'll work the scheduling out. There's a lot of work to be done in Lost Wages. They have to drop the Tropicana and build the new stadium. They have a lot on their plate.

Plus fans could get robbed or murdered outside the stadium

Woke Democrat lib deep blue Oakland is a dying city

Average attendance for the Cats was 5000 per game. About the same as the A's in Oakland.

I used to love going to A's games. The city has really fallen apart since the 90's dramatically, so sad to see the city like this, but who wants to invest here anymore? You will see your investment eaten up and if its a store, you'll get vandalized.

I took some friends who were visiting from Australia to a Raider game in 2013 because the Niners weren't in town. They were really appalled at what they saw as BART went through Oakland even then. I've heard it is worse now.

You would think it would acclimate the players.

exactly......maybe there is a reason the A's fans did not like the owner......

We can talk whether new stadiums should be built from the taxpayer or the teams themselves. However, the Oakland A's Coliseum has run its course.

I've seen many Day on the Green concerts, baseball and football games in that stadium, but you are right, it is old. The best thing about it was having its own BART station.

The Athletics still get money from the existing TV contract if they stay in California.

It has around 11k seats, the other 3k is lawn seating. They could build temporary bleachers in right field.

Minor league ballparks rock, no nose-bleed seats.
