2. San Diego has a ballpark that opened in 2004 would they move?

3. This is ridiculous. The Padres have a huge fanbase and are in a big city. Not only that but they have one of the best stadiums in all of sports. MLB is being ran into the ground

4. Why would the Padres move to the crumbling Coliseum?

5. Don't forget Lacob used to work for the Angels as a peanut vendor. If he was going to buy a team, I pray it's the Angels

6. Buffalo Padres

7. This is easily the dumbest video you have put out. Nobody is leaving a top 3 MLB ball park, in a top 3 city in the country, where they sell out EVERY game, for Oakland. The Royals would be on the next plane to San Diego to call it home

8. Padres willn't move from San Diego to a area that's not supported. Plus there in a trust.

9. So great!!!! Go from 3,500,000 fans per year in SD to 810,000 in Oakland

10. MLB wouldn't approve the move regardless.

11. We also love the Giants and A’s fan base we respect them and always really nice to us at their ball parks !A’s fanbase come on over 🤙🏽

12. This would be quite literally one of the dumbest moves MLB could allow. Our city consistently has the highest attendance of almost any team in the league. There is simply no legitimate reason to move the Padres anywhere.

13. Why would he move the most sold out stadium in mlb to go to oakland?

14. Eek, that would mean from the 1969 expansion of MLB, only Kansas City would be in its original town.
    Not a good sign from MLB's largest expansion.

15. The Gaints now claim territorial rights to that region. They, and MLB, would likely block a team moving into that area.

    Not to mention, there is no viable stadium in the Oakland area (the Coliseum is NOT a viable stadium and PETCO is 100x better than the Coliseum).

16. All owners have loyalty to their own wallet. Fans mean nothing. Just ask Dean spanos

17. Who would move from a city, that draws over 40k a game?

18. San Diego has a great facility, a great location, and great fan base. Other teams would kill for all that, wth would you leave?!

19. I was a native of San Diego for the first 37 years of my life. I now live in Australia since 2014. When I heard the news about the ( San Diego) Chargers moving to L.A. I was devastated. If the Padres move out I would be devastated even more. I still do fellow the Chargers and the Padres because of my roots being from San Diego.

    I’m all for Joe Lacob purchasing the Padres knowing what he has done with the Golden State Warriors but if he does purchase the Padres their needs to be a guaranteed to stay in San Diego. San Diego couldn’t and shouldn’t go through losing another major league team.

20. Bring the Chargers and Clippers back to San Diego

21. San jose should get a expansion MLB and NBA team

22. Diehard San Diego Padres fan here. Emphasis on San Diego. They’re dead to me if they move just as the chargers are dead to me now. This report is laughable. The idea that Oakland is a better option than what is established in San Diego is a bad joke.

23. First off, why do you think Jacob would move out of San Diego? If Jacob moved the Padres to Oakland, then there would be two national league teams in the Bay Area.

24. NBC San Diego give this man a contract ASAP.

25. The Padres almost moved to Washington DC in the 1970s

26. I hear fans saying this will never happen and they are quite smug about it. I understand the trauma because SD is a cursed sports city. For those that think it won’t or can’t happen… never say never

27. This would be the equivalent of Baltimore getting the Browns after the Colts left town. It would also put San Diego in the poll position for expansion if it happened

28. Appreciate the effort, but the Padres absolutely are not moving. everyone has a voice, and if this is what you want to do with yours, that's fair. They are not moving. Especially for a dump like Oakland that has had great teams, and not been supported

29. I’m so sad the A’s left Oakland…but I just can’t imagine the Padres leave San Diego at all, let alone for Oakland.

30. If this goes down, one must start to ask if being a fan is worth it at all.

31. @brodiebrazil what do know of San Diego proposing an 80,000 seat football stadium to lure an NFL team?

32. Keep the Padres in San Diego, it's not our fault that Oakland lost their team. Don't ruin our fanbase to save yours. We've lost enough teams in our history. I'd never support anything from NorCal if y'all screw us over.

33. Seidler family would become the new Spanos family. We should get a expansion team if the northerners of our state steal our team.

34. The NL already has a team in SF. The only way this works is if the Padres move to the AL. Honestly, Oakland can't support a MLB team.

35. Name your source or I call bullshit. Why in the world would Lacob move the Padres from San Diego to Oakland? You'd have to be an idiot.

36. Lifelong Dodgers fan here. Moving the Padres from the one of the best stadiums in mlb from a HARD DEDICATED fanbase whose ONLY major professional sports team is a yearly contender? That sounds ENORMOUSLY foolish.
