A's to play in Sacramento ahead of Las Vegas Move

[BobbyFK]

Terrible decision. They could have just played in the minor league stadium out here in Vegas

Athletics to play at minor league park before Vegas residency

The Athletics will spend the next three seasons playing at a minor league ballpark in West Sacramento before their planned move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.

That is a terrible move

Not sure its far enough away from Oakland. The stench from the move the team is making probably reaches Sacremento. I doubt they will fill the triple A stadium.

Their attendance last week as abismal in Oakland (avg 6400). They can't do worse in Sacremento.

Should have moved to Stockton

Sacramento has decent strip clubs.

This could be like their fluffer city before heading over to Vegas.

Makes sense to me.

Gotta get a rally possum in that b****.....

this whole situation has been handled horribly by both the team and MLB. not a shocker though I guess

but that park should be great for hitters adding some excitement to Oak "home" games

No, there is more to it than that.

Sacramento Kings owner and owner of the River Cats, Vivek Ranadive was a part of this deal.

He's trying to get a MLB expansion team to Sacramento and is trying to show the market can handle it.

Mostly by the A's owner, but yeah the MLB approved the move just encouraging the ill prepared shit show.

I wonder if fans will get BJs in the stands in Sac like they did in Oaktown?

If this is the case, it might be rough making it through 81 games at home but I'm ordering my season tickets now.
