RIP Big Dikk :wow: :mjcry:
yeah right bruh as if he could come close to handling your girth
Oakland A's will Play in West Sacramento 25-27 season. Definitely moving to Vegas in 28.
- Thread starter Jean Jacket
- Start date
The team is 25-17 since July 1st, Sacramento might be getting them at a good time. Maybe they'll be .500 next season then compete for a wild card in 26. With that said if they're not competitive by year two the novelty will wear out. Fisher is basically a baseball version of Maloofs except he's worse.
This cant be real 
With their current season winding down in Oakland, the Athletics have spent this summer selling and marketing season ticket plans for 2025 and beyond when they move to West Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park. The team has been working with the host Triple-A Sacramento River Cats and Sacramento Kings’ sales teams while selling the most premium seating options, a source confirmed Thursday to The Sacramento Bee.
The most sought-after seats closest to home plate sold out in two weeks, said the source, who had knowledge of the A’s sales but was not authorized to speak. The sales were part of a three-phase plan to sell high-end options and luxury suites before standard tickets went on sale this fall. The costs of the luxury seats were not disclosed, while the other premium seats were expected to cost between $15,000 and $20,000 per seat each season, or about $183 to $244 per game, to see Major League Baseball games at the minor league ballpark.
A’S NEW LUXURY PRICES COMPARED
A graphic depicting premium season ticket prices made rounds on social media Wednesday; however, according to the source, it was not made by the team.
A list of average season ticket prices for 2023 compiled by the sports business website Statista suggests the Los Angeles Dodgers had the most expensive average season ticket price in baseball at $209 per game, in line with the higher-end A’s tickets planned for the capital region. But the A’s, owned by John Fisher, haven’t enjoyed the same success as the Dodgers, who had the best record in the majors as of Thursday and lead the league in attendance with an average of 48,243 attendees per game.
The A’s are currently last in average attendance at 9,743 fans per game in the Oakland Coliseum. On the field, the team is headed toward its third-straight sub-.500 season after having 102 and 112 losses the last two years, respectively. The A’s payroll is just over $62 million, also last among the 30 clubs, $22 million behind the Pittsburgh Pirates who rank 31st in players salaries. Baseball’s top 10 teams in payroll each pay more than $200 million a year for their players.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE TICKET PLANS?
The premium A’s season tickets will include parking, food, beverage and access to the recently renovated premium areas. Sutter Health Park, which is owned by the Sacramento Kings, announced renovation plans in July for the Solon Club, Legacy Club and Gilt-Edge Club that will be accessible to premium ticket holders. Premium tickets are only being sold in person, with roughly 10 to 12 being sold per day, according to The Bee’s source.
The premium plans also require a three-year commitment while standard tickets will not, according to the person with knowledge of the marketing effort. Luxury suite sales are the third phase of the rollout out while traditional tickets are expected to go on sale after the premium options, though exactly when remains unclear. Prices for standard tickets were not disclosed — the source said those pricing the tickets say “there will be ticket options for every budget.”
The A’s, River Cats and Kings agreed the team would play at the 14,000-seat ballpark for at least three seasons with an option for a fourth in 2028, when the A’s are hoping to open a new $1.5 billion ballpark on the Las Vegas strip. No financing or design plans have been made public while A’s officials insist they will break ground on the new stadium next spring. It’s planned to be built on the current site of the Tropicana Hotel, which is tentatively planned for demolishing in October. The A’s current ticketing and business staffers have already been informed many existing employees will not be retained when the team moves to Sacramento. The River Cats and Kings are expected to take on the bulk of the A’s day-to-day business operations when the team relocates.
CHANGES ALREADY AFOOT IN WEST SACRAMENTO
Meanwhile, construction has already begun at Sutter Health Park to add a new home clubhouse for the A’s down the left-field line. There are also plans to build new batting cages and weight rooms while upgrading the River Cats’ home clubhouse in the offseason, which will serve as the visiting clubhouse for A’s games. There will also be an upgraded press box, broadcast booths and lighting. And with 157 games expected to be played between the A’s and River Cats next season while they share the stadium, artificial turf will be installed to account for wear and tear. Questions remain, however, about how hot the playing surface could get during Sacramento’s summer months where temperatures often rocket into the triple digits. Studies suggest artificial turf gets substantially hotter than natural grass in direct sunlight.
The A’s first regular season game at Sutter Health Park is March 31 against the Chicago Cubs. Start times for next season’s games have not been announced. The River Cats schedule released earlier this month revealed the teams are not scheduled to play at the stadium on the same day. They will alternate home and away dates or each be on the road. Triple-A teams play six-game series lasting a week with days off on Monday to accommodate travel. The simplified scheduling helped the two teams to share the ballpark.

Nah you tripping, people excited about this. Sutter gone seat 14k and it'll sell out most games...

I hope they stay in Sac. Too bad San Jose was blocked because that would have been perfect.
Too much hype and lots of folks live in the general Sac area. If the Kings can fill up 14-18k, the A's can fill up that AAA stadium. The AAA team already gets decent crowds.
There ain’t much in sac, they’ll fill it up

There's more motion in Sac than Oakland in the 2020s, really over the past decade. Sac got plenty to do...

A's Las Vegas Financing Reportedly 'May Have Hit a Roadblock'
The Oakland A's ballpark saga has always had one major hurdle, and that hurdle is actually paying for the ballpark. Public money is great and all, but at some pwww.si.com
At least 50% odds this team stays and becomes the Sacramento Athletics. And I can tell you the city is hype for it...
They should lean into being the S.A.’s …total rebrand.
I would change the Unis and colors and errthang. Only sign vatos to play.
That would be the best selling ball cap in the country…

I'd keep the color schemes and logos but rebrand the official name to "Capital Athletics". "CA" is a nod to the state abbreviation for California, and would push us as California's baseball team of the future...
But, regardless how they do it, we have a really good chance of keeping this team...
Oakland was perfect!!
The owner is just garbage. It'll never be about what city they're in. Lew ran the team as a proxy for Fisher and when Lew got tired of being the bad guy everyone thought it'd get better, but it didn't.

I hope Sac keeps the A's ....it just seems right
Vegas should get get an expansion team like the knights...we got enough going on in Vegas..The A's are a NorCal staple and it should stay that way
