As a temporary venue sure, with the modifications they’ll make it’ll suffice short term. But it’s not suitable as a long term venue. And without being demolished it can’t be made into a suitable venue.

That’s an urban myth. The Raley Field does not have major league caliber facilities under the grandstand nor can the upper deck support any kind of expansion. It would have to be completely demolished to be expanded.

The Rivercats are who invited them. This won’t screw the Rivercats long term. Heck this is a back door way for Sac to make a run at the A’s when Vegas inevitably fails to materialize.

Probably because it’s this or they disband the A’s for 4 seasons. They’d rather a crap situation to no jobs for a team’s worth of players.

A’s made it official, moving day is October 1 to Sacramento. https://x.com/Athletics/status/1775898900282687717?s=20

I don’t think they’re required to use the funds if hey don’t move.

Honestly a new owner who steps in is the only scenario where the A’s stay in Oakland at this point. But unlike when the Giants had one foot out the door 30 years ago to Florida, the A’s aren’t for sale. And after 20 years of ownership and having no new stadium in Oakland Manfred seems more than happy to help out his buddy Fisher.

They’ll probably be selling a shortstop in short order.

They haven’t wasted any time have they…

If he had shame he wouldn’t drag his franchise through something so utterly and unprecedentedly embarrassing. I’m honestly shocked MLB would allow it when they don’t even consider the Coliseum a Major League facility and there are Major League equivalent facilities available as temporary options that they’re going to have to use in 2025-7 anyway. The whole thing is already a black eye for baseball, and it’s just going to get worse if they hang around unwanted.

Have you seen their attendance this year? And that is pre announcement of the move. Post announcement we may get a new all time record for lowest average attendance.

Well we knew Fisher had no shame. This is just more proof of it. https://twitter.com/NBCSAthletics/status/1669880366797307905?s=20 A’s likely to play 2024 in Oakland.

They must have offline assurances that an offer is pending, probably from the Pac 12 given the request for an extension.
