If the Raiders move to Las Vegas, with the Warriors moving (back) to San Francisco, someone could turn the current park into a nice one.

1. Tear out all the third deck.
2. Tear out everything between the large staircase in left center and the large staircase in right center.
3. Move the bullpens out to behind the outfield fences.
4. This won't be popular, but every park has its quirks (Fenway the Green Monster, Wrigley the ivy). Oakland's is the large foul area so I would leave it alone.

I understand they are wanting to build a walkable park, but my point still stands. The Yankees, etc are pissed that they pay a luxury tax to help teams like Oakland, Tampa, etc compete, and the ownership doesn't reinvest the revenues back into those teams to make them competitive. There are smaller markets that would kill to have a team. San Antonio is prime example.
