They're hosting the Yankees one week, and the National Association of Suburban Dentristy the next. It has no character. This could be a convention center in Peoria. That's too nice for Peoria... 3 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people on TwiX were bragging about selling it out and sticking it to the A's as if it was some wildly high number. 1 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't them saying "let's stick it to the A's" the same thing as saying "let's stick it to John Fisher?" Afterall, he does own the team.

The leagues need to stop going to Las Vegas. For once, can we have a league that won't put a team in Las Vegas? Why does Vegas believe that they are big enough to hold 4 major league teams?

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The town I was born in packs a 2k stadium for townball in the summer. The MLB is disrespecting the fine prairiefolk that love the game smh. Give us the As! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Ik it's a different situation but measuring ability to host and maintain an MLB team because you can pack a 4k stadium is kind of silly. I hope Oakland/the bay can get another team, but this is just pure copium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 13 hours ago, WestCoastBias said: Would you rather see baseball get a lifeless dome with artificial grass or another beautiful outdoor ballpark on the bay? We already have both, so Id rather see the A's play somewhere that isnt crumbling, with backed up sewers, and in a city where the local government actually cares about their sports teams. Oakland has had nearly 20 years to get a new ballpark built, but instead the city has lost the Warriors, Raiders, and now the A's. Yes I get that Fischer passed on the Howard terminal park for Vegas, but what about the years before that when they tried San Jose, Fremont to keep the team in the Bay Area? Oakland was silent. Oakland had plenty of chances but Fischer and MLB gave up because the city of Oakland kept dragging their feet to the point that it was too late. Its the same reason the Warriors, and Raiders left too, because the city was silent. 5 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because professional sports is an entertainment business and Las Vegas happens to be the entertainment capital of the world. It's also one of the fastest growing cities in the country, having almost doubled its population in the past 20 years. The only reason it's taken this long for leagues to put teams there is because they spent decades in fear of the boogieman known as gambling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's more about "Las Vegas is getting 4 Major League teams way too fast" so much so that I don't think they can sustain all 4 Major League teams plus WNBA, National Lacrosse League, Pro Volleyball Federation, Indoor Football League, MLS team (which they will get) and eventually a Women's soccer team.
