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

[FaTaL]

Vegas is the new Oakland.

I hear their economy is collapsing as well

I'm finna pay premium prices for a somehow less janky stadium than the coliseum when the Tigers come out.

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

Football can work since it’s once a week but baseball will fail big time

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.

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

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

Its gonna work





.....its an investment at this point

Baseball is a sport thats super super connected to locals as far as it being sucesffull, regular people that want to go to games, its not an NBA or NFL settting


not sure if i see baseball working there, prolly will but for example teams like milwaukee brewers work so well because theres a real local support. vegas is just place to be seen
