Like someone said in the comments Sacramento needs to prepare a stadium plan. Utah and even Portland already have one.

I don't understand the allure for sports in Vegas other than boxing or some type of a race.

I live here and I don't understand why they picked the location they picked, and why it's an open air stadium. I also don't know why they settled for the A's.

This whole project is just stupid.

Vegas was only ever supposed to be a boogeyman for teams to move until the A's owner fukked it up for himself and the rest of the MLB. He's basically downsized to a minor league level facility for 3 years and is starting the stint by slapping Sacramento in the face.

He'll be a problem no matter what city they end up in and I'm amazed they haven't figured out a way to make him sell. He's devaluing one of the historically iconic west coast franchises.

Has the lustre wore off on the Raiders over there? From afar it feels like Vegas only actually cares about the Knights

I think attendance at raider games is mostly visiting fans. Idiot went from I think the 6th largest media market in baseball to what would be the smallest and the smallest park too if he ever gets there solely so that he can keep cashing revenue sharing checks.

NORTH LAS VEGAS
Football can work since it’s once a week but baseball will fail big time
The Raiders have the highest ticket price in the NFL because las Vegas is a tourist destination and folks plan their vacation around watching their team and getting a Vegas vacation at the same damn time :manny:

The new MLB stadium has half the seats of allegiant stadium and those PSL'S willl sold out within the first week :manny:

Its gonna work





.....its an investment at this point
