I’m sorry but this is fucking ridiculous. A unanimous vote with no solid plan for where the team is actually going to play for years essentially.
The Giants Ballpark, otherwise known as “Oracle Park”. Lol why didn’t he just say the actual name of the park.
This shit is absurd
Lmao why not Puerto Rico? edit: /s
They should look into why the city of Oakland lost all their sports teams within about a 5 year period at all. What is it about the city that makes it not viable for these businesses? And start by fixing that and then try to get an expansion team in the future.
Parts Unknown A’s
Mullett Arena?
The giants ballpark is just an absurd idea. Force them to play at the spring training site or the triple A site and call it day the fans of Oakland are still screwed no matter what
So they’re gonna be a road team for 3 whole seasons.
Sounds like an absolutely horrible way to build a fanbase in a new city
So because they had no idea what to do, they are going to play at San Francisco’s ballpark which they apparently forgot the name of…
In John Shea’s story, he mentions that if the A’s play at least 50% of their home games in the Bay Area, NBC Sports California (their RSN) will continue to have to pay them $60 million a year and honor their TV contract.
Miami has a barely used stadium.
They should play in Sacramento!
Didn’t the Giants stop the A’s from moving to San Jose? Why would they allow the A’s to play in SF?
So so dumb
This is fucking atrocious
lol and I’m sure we can expect them to be big spenders during this period
Why would:
A) anyone want to sign for a team that has no home
B) anyone think this is smart to do from an employee satisfaction perspective
Moving to San Jose, which is “Giants territory”? Unacceptable.
Playing actual games in Oracle Park for a few years while the A’s actual ballpark is built? Totally legal and totally cool.
San Francisco A’s?
Can the MLBPA do anything about a team basically not having a home facility/clubhouse? I’d assume they’d require a some type of facility to be theirs, even temporarily for a season? This sounds like the team is basically playing all games “on the road” and I would hate that as a player. Especially in different states. This is absolutely ridiculous.
So, no exit strategy? How did they not have this figured out in advance?
I hear The Sphere is nice. They should play there.
I didn’t think it could get worse than seeing the Arizona Coyotes move into a 4K-seat college rink, but this might take the cake
No one is going to want to play for the A’s until they get a permanent home. I mean, no one wants to play for them now, but still.
What are they gonna be called?
So the “Las Vegas A’s” will be the San Francisco A’s and then the Summerlin Triple-A’s for years, until Fisher and his fucknuts figure out how they’re gonna cram his gaudy 20-acre stadium renderings into the 9-acre lot they purchased. While also still struggling to secure funding for the whole thing and fighting with teachers along the way.
And not a single one of the other 29 owners saw any issue with that. Any issue with them being clueless, unprepared, gutless villains. Didn’t see any issue with them, once again, lying to everyone involved. Didn’t see any issue with giving up money of their own because Manfred just willy-nilly waived Fisher’s relocation fee… Well, at least they’re gonna get jetted off to their lovely little “All-MLB weekend” a couple of weeks from now, to…oh, how convenient…FUCKING VEGAS.
Expected is carrying a LOT of weight.
Everybody say no. It’s what Fischer would deserve.
Summerlin ballpark, the Mullet arena of MLB.
When spiting the city of Oakland is more important than delivering a quality product.
Straight dogshit
They are opting to _become_ the Arizona Coyotes!?
If they thought attendance was bad this season. Just wait until next year. All that will be in the stadium for games are the rats.
Road Warrior Athletics.
Fucking terrible. I am sorry Oakland fans.
Wait wait. This sounds like a scheduling nightmare from hell! Fuck you John Fisher.
Jeff Fisher really ought to be tarred and feather by A’s fans in Oakland
The funniest (but not really) thing possible would be if they converted Allegiant Stadium to be able to host baseball games
