As an A's fan this isn't really news. This has always been the threat.
Oakland political leadership and dumbass illiterate citizens have and are doing their damnedest to screw this up.
The A's have already once offered a tax free stadium project. Privately funded. No strings.
But the local leadership blew it all up. The details would infuriate you even if you didn't give one damn about the A's or the city of Oakland. fricking California hippies and their dumbass politicans.
Howard Terminal might happen. But if it doesn't the A's are gone. And that's a shame because the A's have some of the best home town fans in all of professional sports.

While the A's have expressed that remaining in Oakland and building a $12 billion mixed-use development is their priority, the standstill of the project prompted today's move. The leading contender if the A's do move: Las Vegas. Plenty of other cities would welcome the team, too.

And the pity for Oakland vanishes, like the baseball team.

I’ll believe the A’s are moving when it finally happens. They were rumored to be gone at least as far back as the end of the 1979 season and were supposedly heading to Denver. They’ve been saber rattling for years about possibly moving.
But I guess at some point, Vegas or Nashville is going to give them enough public money to do it. Don’t know about Portland but given how liberal Oregon is, I can’t see Portland shelling out public money to build a stadium. I could be wrong.
