The exact opposite of how Gary Bettman feels about Phoenix (although it hasn't worked, I get why from a TV market perspective why Bettman is so bullish on Phoenix).

NorthStar74 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'm just curious... I know of the issues for the A's regarding the stadium they are at now, as I recall some time ago, cant remember exactly when, wasn't there a big main pipe break that flooded the dugouts and the other areas of the stadium? And then someone pointed out that there need to be renovations or replacements done and also recommended that a new stadium be built to replace the current one? I do wish the A's would stay in Oakland as the team has been there a long time but I can understand why the team gotta have to move due to stadium problems and etc.. just terrible indeed to see another franchise transfer out of Oakland like the NFL Raiders did a few years ago... hopefully maybe at a 11th hour last minute thing a new owner can offer to buy the A's and ensure the team remain in Oakland and finally get a new ballpark to be built asap.. but that's wishful thoughts I would say so...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that once the gov signed the bill, it was a binding-done deal and the only remaining formality is the owners approving it (and I can’t believe that the LV funding bill had a contingency in it that allowed for the A’s to get out without penalty if the owners rejected the move… which they won’t.)

Is a new owner really going to have any more luck cutting through the red tape? Oakland’s not innocent in this ordeal so even if there was a fast sale the team would still be stuck in a rodent-infested cesspool for at least another 5-6 years which is completely asinine unless the new owner comes in and blows millions of dollars on temporary bandaids. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they’re required to use the funds if hey don’t move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Manfred saying "it shows how passionate Giants fans are" without acknowledging what the chant was all about or the A's fans in attendance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Sox are quietly starting to make some unconvincing noise about moving out of Comiskey or the Chicago market altogether. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/report-white-sox-are-weighing-stadium-options-with-team-saying-discussions-havent-begun/3212014/ Sick to death of hearing about Nashville. They've sniffed around or been sniffed around by the Indians, Orioles, and White Sox at this point. Another New South sprawlopolis built on tax breaks. Stay out of White Sox business. And I don't even like the Sox. EDIT: I suppose the Brewers are probably looking at Nashville now too. 1 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
