It actually helps the move to Vegas because the NFL didn't want to approve a deal with Sheldon Adelson involved.... Goldman Sachs , the new investor, was just involved in moving the chargers to Los Angeles
Really whose paying for it?And the A's just announced their plans on a new stadium in Oakland at their fan fest over the weekend.
how the A's get a new stadium with the cheapest owner in sports
Lew Wolfe stepped down after last season. He actually was the minority owner, however, his cheap ass called the shots
city of Oakland chose up.
Mark only has 500 million and im for damn sure he's not getting a loan...
So either sell portion of the team or see what San Diego has to offer
It's funny how both teams in Oakland had minority owners running the shots forever. Lew basically had one of his friends as the real owner and he was in the cut letting Lew do whatever he wanted. The real owner is finally fixing the squad/stadium up now that Oakland is rising in prominence.
Nah B. A's paying for the stadium with private sector funds
A's players go all-in on Oakland-centric attitude
With the arrival of a new club president, Dave Kaval, in November, the A’s focus has been on building a baseball-only stadium. The A’s have talked the talk for a decade, but four sites – Howard Terminal near Jack London Square, Laney College near the Lake Merritt BART station, Brooklyn Basin across Interstate 880 and a new park on the Coliseum grounds should the Raiders move – have been locked down.
One of those probably will be picked by year’s end for a privately funded stadium. And the Coliseum isn’t necessarily the favorite. Ken Pries, the club’s VP of broadcasting and communications, said Saturday there was at least a chance that the club would select one of the downtown sites even if the Raiders left, freeing up the Coliseum site.
