REPORT: Oakland Athletics Ownership Meeting With Las Vegas Strip Operators For Possible Move To Sin City

[JustAGuy1]

We’re getting closer and closer to a Vegas baseball team — so (bleeping) cool.

Oakland Athletics ownership is headed back to Las Vegas on Feb. 1 as they continue their push for a possible relocation to Sin City, according to a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

A person with knowledge of the situation told the newspaper that A’s owner John Fisher and president Dave Kaval will be on the north Strip meeting with multiple resort operators.


In mid-January, I blogged about how the Athletics were interested in two different sites — the north Strip festival grounds and the Tropicana site on the south — where a flashy $1 billion retractable domed stadium would be built. And from the sounds of it back then, it appeared that the A’s were zoning in on the Tropicana after there weren’t any discussions for months between the franchise and Las Vegas Festival Grounds owner and casino tycoon Phil Ruffin

However, a person with knowledge of the situation reportedly said the 39-acre site is still in play as a possible location.

The Warriors are next. It isn't safe to go to Oakland OR SF anymore.

Great plan. Move your team to a place headed for oblivion if when the damn runs dry

 

[bluzman61]

It would be a big move for the A's. Thanks for the info.

I grew up on the Oakland A's and Raiders in the 70s/80s, so it is sad to see, but understandable. The A's are treated like nobody wants or cares for them, in baseball in general or even in the Bay Area where the Giants get more attention, even though the A's have had great eras, particularly the early 70s with the rare World Series three-peat and the Tony LaRussa years, with a blip of interest during "BillyBall" (Billy Martin era). But attendance has never been good.

And the A's have been stuck with the monstrosity known Mount Davis, the last on the outdated multi-purposed round ballparks that everybody else has demolished and built better facilities.

Oh well. Thanks for the memories anyhoo.

Like the Raiders, the As ownership hasn't helped. I lived in a town that got solidly behind their single A Oakland affiliate Modesto As. The ownership didn't like Modesto and moved to Stockton to become the Stockton Ports and NOBODY supports them anymore.

I grew up loving the Raiders and A's. I was at the Game where Campaneris threw his bat at LeGrow

I walked away when Finley started selling players

The Warriors moved to a new stadium in Frisco a couple of years ago. The treatment of the people of Oakland who are loyal fans over the years is brutal. It seems that sports have passed the gambling line.

 

[Oddball]

The most stolen team in the history of pro sports.

Can't blame them, Oakland is a sh*t hole.

yet so is san fran yet you dont see them moving their teams out of that city oh and vegas is an even BIGGET shithole so the moves by the Raiders and now the A's make no sense at all as did neither the move by the warriors to san fran for every homeless people on the streets you can show in oakland,i can show as many in san fran so whats ther point of moving from one shithole to another and in this case,moving to an even BIGGET shithole vegas.

everybody thinks Vegas is so cool and glamous but they dont talk about the call girls everywhere or how it has the worst school system in America or once you visit on the outskirts of Vegas,the place is a very depressing place to live in.

my point exactly but going to vegas is an even worse idea.SF is as much a shithole as oakland is but vegas is even greater shithole than both.

Teams can move outside of city areas also. The Atlanta braves moved a few years ago from a perfectly fine stadium that was built for the Olympics and designed with a baseball configuration. Unfortunately, it was in a so-called urban renewal area that did not renew. They were smart.

best damn post on this thread.the NFL is a corrupt cartel.the NFL after the Rams left LA,they made more strict rules and guildlines on relocation that that made it much more difficult to move,was suppose to anyways,Both the chargers and Raiders violated those guildlines.The Rams were the only one of the three that followed the guildlines. and meant them.the only one that should have been allowed to leave..It was the only move that made sense.

one of the main guildlines they had was to move to another city,you had to have bad attendance.The Rams attendance in st louis was horrendous so they were given the green light rightly so. The Raiders and The chargers though,they did NOT meet those guildlines. they pakced them in and sold out practically all the time.



Nobody here can answer me the question with a straight face and refute it that the chargers and Raider should never have been allowed to leave oakland and san diego,they cant answer the question that if the NFL is not going to follow their rules that they institute,what is the point in having those rules?

The raiders and chargers as well fucked up by moving to because nobody in LA gives a shit about the chargers same with vegas and the Raiders,Both teams now have SIXTEEN road games a year instead of 8 because the opposing fans always greatly outnumber the home teams fans. neither team has a homefield advantage anymore.

A LOT of Cowboys fans in SoFi for the Chargers’ home opener. Do you think the Chargers will ever be accepted in Los Angeles?

NFL roundtable: Will Chargers ever be accepted in L.A.?

NFL roundtable: There were more Cowboys fans than Chargers fans at SoFi Stadium in Week 2. Why? In L.A., the answer might be, 'You have to win first.'

This for a team that was in BACK TO BACK superbowls.How does a city of so called raider fans not show up in droves to see a team that went to back to back superbowls?

I said this is what would happen when the Raiders moved to vegas,that they would have no fan support.and yet Mark Davis is such a fucking idiot that he is actually surprised about all of this?

It did not take a genuis to see this would happen because NOBODY IN LA gives a crap about the chargers and Vegas has transients there,many from cold weather cities,they dont give a shit about the Raiders.

In okaland,that was UNHEARD of for chief fans to come there,you came to oakland in a chiefs outfit,you got beat up so chiefs fans knew better than to come to oakland.

vegas is home team for the OPPOSING teams coing to play them.vegas is ALWAYS a ROAD game for the raiders as is LA for the chargers.

its the same with the the hokey team,fans from the opposing teams always outnumber the home teams fans. there is a reason why pro teams have stayed away from vegas all these years. there is no homefiled advantage for vegas teams,they dont even support theor own college football team,why would they give a shit about a team from oakland?
