If I were the A's, I'd tear down that god awful upperdeck Al put up that covers the mountain view and be happy.

Wouldn't all of the baseball games be 105 degrees?

Where is that rumor coming from? I can't see a MLB team thriving there. I hope they get a new stadium in Oakland.

Towns that I believe could support a new MLB team:

Montreal
Nashville
Brooklyn
Austin
Raleigh-Durham

This is bs.

Yes the A's have been trying to get out for as long as the Raiders and would have already if the Giants didn't block the SJ move, but I have never heard Vegas as an option for the A's even once and it makes little sense.

The A's have no leverage now, and as a result Oakland will probably try to hold them hostage for another decade like the Raiders.

I'll donate to the A's move anywhere outside of Oakland fund. As an Astros fan, playing the A's there is pretty much dreadful all around.

~games start at 9 pm central
~the stadium is about as aesthetically pleasing as a baboons arse.
~their fans beat drums and blow vuvuzelas for 3 hours.


On a serious note, now that the football team is gone they could tear down Mt. Davis and renovate the place to be basbeall specific and they might have something.



But please..please...do away with the 6 miles of foul territory.

Jesus Christ...

This is one of the reasons Raiders left.

Can they EVER shake the fricking A's?????

And joint baseball stadium bullshite??????

Raiders left because the Coliseum sucks arse...and Raiders are like the only team still playing on a fricking infield of dirt brought in during the 1960's!!!!!!!!

People don't want to see baseball diamond football in 2017.

They expect more.

A's tried to block everything the Raiders wanted to do in Oakland. frick the A's...I hope they rot in hell and glad the Roid Brothers got embarrassed by the Dodgers in 1988.

I thought it's been said that the A's are actively searching for their long term location and Manfred said it'll be announced by years end where in Oakland a new park will be (or the renovations to the coliseum)

Yeah I'm sure you are super privy to inside Bay Area info.

Las Vegas will never get an MLB team. Fact.

Out in the area right now. The friends who live out here (Raider Season Ticket Holder) said the A's owner has a bunch of cash and is about to announce with the Oakland officials of a new ball park in the city this summer. They are saying Oakland is becoming the new Brooklyn...San Francisco has priced itself out and people are flocking to Oakland to invest and live. They are currently looking at 3 locations, but the downtown location is where they are going to build it.
