Oakland A's headed to Las Vegas

So they're approving funding for the site that's barely big enough for a 30K-seat ballpark?

 

Translation: Start packing the moving vans.

 

A few details.

 

Local pols never tire of giving public money to billionaires.

 

Duh.

 

I wonder if the secret plan is to keep the A’s shitty in a sort of Washington Generals way in order to attract hordes of fans of the visiting team each series? “Hey let’s go to Vegas and see the Cards cause at least we know they’ll win!”

 

Nah they’ll be shitty because that’s who the owner is.

 

Fisher is one of those owners who counts every dollar that goes to a player as coming from his pocket. Just another in a long-line of second-generation wealthy people that have no skills.

 

$1.5B total to build a 30,000 seat stadium in the nation's 40th largest TV market.

LOL

 

And now we know why the ticket money was donated Tuesday.

 

No need to speculate, the Rays have conclusively proven what the future holds for a franchise in a tourist city.
