It was great for the Raiders to make the move. No regrets! Oakland is a mess.Oakland is a poophole…they’d be wise to GTFO. It would be awesome if Vegas were to take their football and baseball. The warriors already bolted for more expensive SF!
Maybe Kaitlyn can make keeping them in Cali one of her campaign promises!
Terrible.Why not go back to Philadelphia?Two teams shared one park for 16 years after Baker Bowl collapsed in 1938.
Like the way you put in politics, but Portland is considered a top choice, even if some think progress needs to be stopped .Sports teams are no different than companies or ppl. They move where they’re treated best . They’re leaving crappy deep blue states run by “progressives” for states that are business friendly & growing in population. NJ...yeah right! Portland, Or... yeah right! There’s rumors that the Orioles will leave for Nashville once their lease is up
The New Jersey A’s.
I can live with it.😛
Yep, 100%. I’m sure the Yankees and Dodgers will be announcing their new home cities any day now.Sports teams are no different than companies or ppl. They move where they’re treated best .

MC Hammer should come up with a second hit too.The current Oakland Coliseum is an absolute joke for baseball. Has been for a long time. I’m sure the team has to make some token effort to try and stay in the city, but the whole place is an absolute pit. Get out when you can A’s.
Former A’s VP Hammer will be disappointed, but go find a real Major League park and city.
There is more to life than politics. Stop dragging everyone down with you.Sports teams are no different than companies or ppl. They move where they’re treated best .

It was supposed to look like the one the Royals have in Kansas City.The original New Jersey Meadowlands Sports Complex proposal had renderings including a big baseball stadium. For years, I had the photo from the Star-Ledger but lost it somewhere along the line. The State Aquarium was going to be there. There was talk of a jai alai fronton too.

No mlb owner is moving his team to Portland after all the violence there over the past year. Not happening. Vegas, Charlotte, Nashville, San Antonio - these would be candidate cities at the top of the heap.Like the way you put in politics, but Portland is considered a top choice, even if some think progress needs to be stopped .
Seems like the citizens in GOP controlled states need more public assistance ( percentage wise) to survive , while progressive states seem to have more in a better financial way ( percentage wise) . So it stands to reason the progressive states you're implying are no good arew in reality a better place for the A's to have fans be able to afford going to the games regularly because of making a decent wage rather than a few times a Red State resident can afford to go because the cost to attend is a big financial drain on the low wages earned
Actually Portland's economic situation is a good one for the A;s , though Vegas might be the City to put up the stadium bucks more easily .
No one knows where they are going. But they aren't staying in Oakland.So, after reading a bunch of articles about this, the Oakland Athletics are moving to Las Vegas or Nashville or San Jose or Charlotte or Portland or Vancouver or Salt Lake City. Writers are all over the place on this which means they are just making stuff up lol and throwing junk against the wall.
Yeah- since there has been such a lack of violence in LV...No mlb owner is moving his team to Portland after all the violence there over the past year. Not happening. Vegas, Charlotte, Nashville, San Antonio - these would be candidate cities at the top of the heap.
Because it’s California and they’re broke. People are leaving the state at record pace for multiple reasons. Politics, cost of living, taxes you name it.Just build a new ballpark next to the current one. Site they are talking about involves cleaning up a hundred years of ground pollution, displacing businesses, no place for tailgating. Corona might make raising funds harder, but plenty of cities out there—San Antonio, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Memphis, Portland, Montreal, maybe even Salt Lake City and Austin.

Oakland is a dump. I’m sorry but it’s not a nice city. The city has refused for decades now to do anything about the stadium. It’s best the A’s move out of state.
Where do you get that last statement from? Seems kind of random.Yeah- since there has been such a lack of violence in LV...
With that said- LV is the hot city to move sports teams to...for obvious reasons now that sports have gone full Pete Rose on us.
Can't see a Charlotte, Nashville or S.A. being able to support a team. I'm not sure how those cities will bring fans into a stadium during the summer and most people in those areas are not sitting in their living rooms watching TV during weekends to much either.
Portland has been making a serious effort to attract a team. The A's in Portland? Now that would be a real riot!Like the way you put in politics, but Portland is considered a top choice, even if some think progress needs to be stopped .

But that funding is an investment into the community, isn't it?At the end of the day the answer to what city gets the team is whatever city has an ownership group with the biggest ego and the best ability toextortobtain the most funding from the local government.
