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

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.
