@@paulvon2378 - No, they won't. Sure, there will be a temporary uptick as the novelty of the team and the stadium brings in some new fans, but that won't last long. The temporarily increased revenue will go right into Fisher's pockets. He will invest none of that back into the team or the community. He will do nothing to grow the brand among new potential fans. I promise you that residents of Las Vegas (with a metro population smaller than Sacramento and San Antonio) will not be showing up 20k strong to one of the smallest stadiums in the league for a weeknight game in the middle of July to watch a team with no star players, no household names, and no regional history or connection, bumble their way to a 3rd straight 90-loss season. Even if the A's are somehow able to capture lightning again and put together another improbable playoff contender that generates any excitement, Fisher will be right there to raise ticket prices and chop the legs off the team before it has a chance to grow into any kind of sustainable force so he can pocket the profits, then beg for even more investment from Vegas & Nevada taxpayers which he himself will refuse to provide. Heck, the Raiders are already struggling to sell out games and have some of the lowest attendance figures in the league, and that's WITH the draw of visiting fans needing to show up to only 8-9 mostly Sundays. There are a lot of entertainment options in Las Vegas. LV fans aren't going to put up with Fisher's incompetence for anywhere near as long as Oakland fans did

I'm 100's of miles away from the U.S. but I loved everything about the Oakland A's. They have such a rich history of baseball from the 70's threepeat team to the 1980s to early 1990's A's teams, and the iconic moneyball A's teams. The fact that the owner went to that level of bullshitting in people's faces was an absolute disgrace to baseball fans all over the world, let alone the poor citizens in Oakland. I will support the A's players, but will never support that putz of an owner, and pray that some day the A's can eventually return to Oakland.

@@AnthonyGraeme Bottom line is if more people showed up to the games, they would probably not be moving. You all love to whine and cry about the As and the Raiders and the Warriors but few of you actually were buying tickets. That stadium is almost as dilapidated as the USC Coliseum. Funny how this guy talks about the Warriors had to spend money to make money. Yeah, he did that by spending money outside of Oakland. Does this 'hero' not know the Warriors arent in Oakland anymore? Great at the whining in Oakland, not great at buying tickets to see the game. It's like listening to WNBA players whine about not making as much as NBA players.

@@Heathcoatmanshow up for what? A team that used the legacy of the Moneyball era as an excuse to cheap out on practice facilities and player acquisition while profiting record amounts off of Revenue sharing? They would have found an excuse to move this team even if fans were showing up. If they were filling up the Coliseum every night, they would find that tax break in Vegas anyway, or increase public funding in some other city like these leagues tend to do when they want to hold something over a fan base's head as a threat (see: LA for the NFL all throughout the 2000s and 2010s). So long as there are members of the public willing to simp for billionaires using language just like yours, so too will there be a negligent owner willing to take advantage of it.

Dusty Baker made a great throw. What an arm. Believe Jose Canseco was with the team. Toronto Blue Jays, the opponent, had great teams back then. The hardest ball hit I ever heard was a single up the middle that day by Cecil Fielder. Thank you Oakland for that memory. Really sad how loyalty has left the game and most sports. Us common folk see life different. It would be great that when sports teams left a city they change their mascots. That way if the team restarted again they could be called the original mascot....Still remember Tenance Wilson first base mitt. Names like Jackson, Rudi, Kingman, Fingers....heckuva ride

It's completely true. There were literally several instances where funding was offered from the city and proposals made, and all it would take was a commitment from Fisher, and he held out for more money. There were several people and financial interests willing to buy him out of the team as well, but he held out for more money. The dude played chicken with the city of Oakland in hopes to save a buck, and in the end decided to take the team and leave, even though he has no tangible plan for a new stadium. Manfred is a spineless pail and won't force him to sell, but he absolutely should. It's a complete disgrace what has happened to the team, and it hurts baseball to have this happening. Anyone who says there's no money in the Bay area for the A's is a complete idiot.

I know what a shit owner can do to a team and a town.... with the active collusion of leagues that scream how much they want fan support. It's a shame and a Goddamned shame that A's Inc. did this to you folks. Oakland has always been a hard-luck town and it's always had to fight to keep its own identity compared to the millionaires across the Bridge. In that, you folks remind me of my home town Tacoma WA. Seattle doesn't like us much and we return the favor in spades. And we're 100% OK with that. So to all you A's faithful out there, God bless. You did your part when John Fisher went out of his way to put a shit product on the field.

It’s a shock if one pro sports team leaves a city. Oakland lost three. So are we to say it’s the fault of all three owners? Give me a break. It’s Oakland. Obviously. What Joe did with the Warriors was by far the worst. By far. I know for a fact Liz Schaaf lied about stadium deals. The city of Oakland had their vision of Oakland. They wanted no part of pro sports anymore. They hated that identity. Their identity was something entirely different. And they got it done. Mission accomplished. This is nothing to do with team owners, this is 100% all on the horrible vile east bay politicians. It’s the truth regardless if you want to believe it or not.
