The Oakland A's of Fremont new stadium talk

All I know is that I might have to quit my job if that happened. Game days destroy my commute.

last year til an interim home?

so, 10-year lease with the Coliseum Authority

Here's the best website I found for all Coliseum/A's New Ballpark news: http://newballpark.org/

I can't see the Howard/Laney/Brooklyn Basin spots working unless they follow through on getting rid of the 980.

22,691 announced attendance for A's Opening Day at the Coliseum.

RIP Oakland A's (1968-2023)

bummer

don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened

Sad news whenever a team moves (although it has only happened once in the past 50 years in MLB) but a team in Vegas was basically inevitable.

lolz. I believe Jesus Lazardo is killing it in Miami or wherever

bummer

Looks like the A's are heading to....

Sacramento for 2025-2028 (with an option for 2029) at the same stadium that used to be their AAA affiliate (currently SF's AAA affiliate).

It appears Vegas is still an eventual option but this makes me think that there are additional concerns, despite the Fantasyland-esque stadium concept art.

It’s official: Oakland A’s to play three seasons in West Sacramento, Kings ownership announces

https://www.sacbee.com/sports/article287381405.html

Anyone want to bet how long it takes to build much needed affordable housing on the site? … I am optimistic and betting 15 years

So they're just going to share a stadium with the Rivercats?

“We’re prepared to accommodate the A’s and the River Cats to ensure a seamless transition for both teams and their fans,” said West Sacramento City Manager Aaron Laurel in a statement.

This is some real minor league, perhaps bush league shit. Gonna be wild seeing Judge, Ohtani and Betts on a minor league field in Sacto for a few years, and it will be a constant, unending reminder of how toxic, cheap and terrible for the sport of baseball Fisher is.

I hope the ghost of Charlie Finley haunts him to his grave.

this whole thing is incredible -- apparently the team will have no city name, but simply be 'the athletics'? playing in an 11K-seat stadium for years?

the only thing even comparable is hockey's arizona team, and i doubt that comforts anyone involved with MLB

cannot imagine the other 29 owners being cool about sharing revenue with a club that has spent decades digging itself into an irreparable hole; that sounds like lawsuit shit

that sounds like lawsuit shit

might get to catch the a's next week before they move out of the coliseum. ILB, any tips?

About players to watch?

well i'm obviously hopeful they'll bring in mason miller. but no, about things to check out at the stadium. i'm still pretty peeved i didn't get to try out rocky mountain oysters at coors field because i didn't know about the one place that sold them until the 7th inning!

Mason Miller is unreal. Hopefully you get to see him.

On that note, supposedly you can no longer get the edible locusts at Seattle.

I dont know if there’s any special food at the coliseum. You can crush a moons over manhattan at the dennys on Joe Morgan blvd

Avoid the food. If you need something to eat, get a bacon-wrapped hot dog from one of the vendors outside the stadium. If you need to eat inside the stadium, the bar and grille is okay. I can't remember if Treehouse has food but they have some okay beers like Henhouse, Drakes, and Elysian. They have food trucks in the entry plaza for some games ... if you're going to one of the Marlins day games, those are good bets.
