Dilbert Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 If they are on their way out of Oakland, when and how would they do it? Will they do what the Raiders did and play a couple lame duck seasons at the Coliseum while a ballpark in Las Vegas is constructed? Will they try to split games between Oakland and Las Vegas (similar to what Montreal did in Puerto Rico) until a new ballpark is built? Will they abandon the Coliseum and try to rent from the Giants until a ballpark is built in Vegas? Will they rent from the Giants and split games in San Francisco and Las Vegas? Will they move to Las Vegas and play at their minor league park until a new ballpark is built? Several options but what is the best?

Dilbert Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Might as well move the A's "temporarily" to Mullett Arena. It was built on the site of ASUs former baseball stadium. After which ASU moved its baseball to Phoenix Municipal Stadium in 2015 after the A's moved their spring training out of that stadium. The circle would be complete.

Just to add, the A’s went from Phoenix Muni to Hohokam, which had just been abandoned by the Cubs for their new Spring Training facility just east of the ASU campus, Sloan Park. God, I miss all the live baseball that the Phoenix area has to offer. Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

who do you think Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 > The A's need an alternative because they can't continue to play in the facility they are in. This phrase/sentiment will be old enough to drink pretty soon, if it isn't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastBias Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Damn, that's a real shame. Hopefully it's Portland not Vegas if the A's do indeed relocate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening. Vegas is way ahead of Portland on the list of desirable locations for relocation or expansion.

McCall Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 1 hour ago, WestCoastBias said: Yeah, but you never know They've actually been to Las Vegas, met with representatives there and came away happy with the prospect of moving there if things don't work out in Oakland. It's been pretty clear for awhile now that Vegas is their preferred option after Oakland, for both the A's AND MLB. They, nor anyone else, has met with Portland. Portland has actually tumbled down the list of preferred sites for relocation or expansion. Las Vegas, Nashville and Montreal are the top tier choices. Charlotte, Portland and San Antonio/Austin are more than likely in the second tier. 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I think the A’s should build a stadium at the bottom of Lake Mead. They’ll be no less under water than they are now, and they’re really getting in on some prime real estate just a few years early!

Burmy Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Still holding out hope for PDX to get a team...I'm sure they're gonna rebuild their buzz once the A's and Rays handle their business and MLB actually announces that expansion is open. (Maybe I'm just biased because I'm going there in ten days, and it's one of the places I'm considering moving to) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
