[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Oh look, here’s the league threatening yet another major city 3 years in advance . This shyt is way bigger than just Oakland and the A’s.

Same thing is happening in Milwaukee (owner is on the relocation board btw)

The team and the league wants out of East Oakland badly. Sad day. I honestly don't think Vegas is the answer for a MLB team

Other than international tourists, you’re 100% right if anything it’ll be the last stop before you get regulated back to the minors

Vegas is too overcrowded with sports teams and if the rumours of them getting a MLS team are true than that’ll be overkill

How many stadiums of pro teams are still in the hood?

A's, Yankees, White Sox maybe, who else?

I think them projects is still up by white Sox stadium

That’s a beautiful stadium, what a shakedown

On one hand I'm happy that Vegas is getting a baseball franchise on the other hand I feel terrible for the fans in Oakland and the Bay area...I got family from there and they are certified loyal A's fans...Vegas took their football team too

There's a gang of people from the bay that live in Las Vegas tho so that should help with attendance

 

[FakeNews]

still expect the Vegas move but this is interesting she pulled a Kevin Johnson when he saved the kings.

Watch the vid Oakland was willing to give up 900 million to get this thing built far more than Vegas. A's ownership may have saved Oakland by walking away @dora_da_destroyer @FaTaL
