MLB commish confirms Oakland A’s will be moving to Las Vegas (Update: $1.5B park on Vegas strip on the way)

[Redguard]

Imagine moving to a city with no water.

One man has a plan to resolve this issue

Spoiler

Just like I said when the Raiders moved there, Vegas to me isn’t a sustainable city long term.

Oakland fukkin lost

How u let Vegas deebo u outta 2 sports teams

Warriors on suicide watch

No they didn’t. Citizens shouldn’t pay for stadiums. If they have to, make it a hotel tax like what the Falcons did for the new Benz. Make outta towners pay for it

Why is that?

Crazy but expected. Oakland didn't and should have to foot the bill for a new stadium for billionaire owners. It will suck in the short term so hopefully they have a plan to recoup the lost revenue for the city.

Think you meant to say should not... right?

 

[seraphx]

Typo

Why is that?

Colorado river and Lake Tahoe are drying up. If I’m not mistaken those are the major water sources for Vegas. How could further expansion be possible under those circumstances?

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

What is it about Oakland that made all of their teams raise up out of there?

 

[Apollo Creed]

Oakland Alabama at this rate

 

[TheMailMan]

Catfish hunter rollin in his grave right now . Lot of good As history in Oakland

 

[pete clemenza]

Damn shame. Oakland should've at least kept the A's. Lose three teams in three years



Too many teams and too soon for Vegas. They're going to be stretched thin trying to support 81 home baseball games along with everything else. Plus the area is getting low on water

California doesn’t put up money for stadiums historically simple as that

Looks like the OP tweet was a misquote/mischaracterization:

I think Cali and Arizona or one of them owns the water rights over Vegas which is a bad sign since Cali with more people is having a water problem too
