Amen. Atlanta needs an AL team. Oakland doesn't deserve that team.

Will the A's be able to tear down Mount Davis and have a nicer baseball only park?


You could do a lot with that park once the Raiders move out. Tear down most of the outfield structures and Mount Davis. (I know this is controversial, but leave the roomy foul ground--every park has its quirks, why not that one for there?)

Horrible decision, revenue is going to decrease for the Raiders as well as Chargers


Vegas is a hot destination. A lot of out of state fans will be making the trip.

I can see a lot of visiting fans timing a Vegas trip to see their team. Might diminish the home field advantage.

Doesn't Dallas have this issue as well? I doubt jerry jones minds too much.

Not really, you have 95,000 fans and 75,000 are cowboys fans.


I mean people seem to forget how big Jerry World really is.

Not sure about other people, but I rather sit in a vegas sportsbook and watch multigames simultaneously all day as oppose to going to a game.

Last cog in the wheel is the owners' approval. I think when they look at the big picture they'll vote yes for this.

Yeah I think the last possible hurdle was owners not wanting to work with Sheldon Adelson but Goldman Sachs stepped up.

Owners have weakened in the gambling aspect significantly over the last few years.

Daily fantasy like draft kings sponsorships have played a large part.
