Oakland Athletics will likely move to Las Vegas says MLB commissioner ranked dead last in attendance

Rob Manfred is not optimistic about the Oakland Athletics staying in the Bay Area. The team's lease at the 56-year-old Oakland Coliseum ends after the 2024 season. Negotiations between the A's and Oakland officials on a new Howard Terminal stadium project are expected to drag into next year. A’s had hoped to build a 35,000-seat stadium as part of a housing and retail development. They ranked last in attendance this past season, averaging just 9,849 people per game. The A're lost the NBA's Golden State Warriors to neighboring San Francisco last year, while the NFL's Raiders left for Las Vegas before the 2020 season and have explored a move to Las Nevada since May 2021.

Rosenthal: Why I remain skeptical about the A’s grandiose Vegas plans

Know what I would love to do? Close my eyes, wake up in five years and see what became of the Oakland A's grandiose plans. The potentially unprecedented three-year, home away from home arrangement while they await the opening of their new ballpark in Las Vegas. The long-term extensions for homegrown players and investments in the free-agent market.…

Could the Oakland A’s find a temporary home in Salt Lake City?

Major League Baseball is getting a little closer to Salt Lake City. And there's a chance it could get a lot closer as soon as 2025. No, an expansion team isn't headed to the state today. But with baseball owners approving the Oakland A's move to Las Vegas, fans won't have to travel as far to see a big league game. And under one possible scenario,…

Oakland A’s relocation would be a total strategic business mistake

It is my understanding that Major League Baseball team owners are moving closer to voting on the relocation of the Oakland Athletics from Oakland to Las Vegas. From 1980 to 1994, I was vice president of business operations under the Haas family ownership, when the A's were winning games, filling seats and exemplifying the very best of teamwork,…

What are the real Vegas odds for the Oakland A's?

OAKLAND - After the A's announced they were finally preparing to leave this city, the team's faithful reacted with despair, bitterness and a sense of inevitability. In the days after, however, skepticism crept back into the mix - as it always seems to with the A's, who previously pursued new ballparks in Fremont and San Jose. So just how likely is…

Oakland A's Take Another Leap to Vegas With Stadium Agreement

If it wasn't totally a done deal before that the Oakland Athletics would follow their former crosstown NFL counterparts, the Raiders, to Las Vegas, now you can bet on it - though probably without much of a return. The A's have agreed to buy land near the Las Vegas Strip on which they plan to build a new retractable-roof ballpark, the Associated…

A's finances: In the red, the black, or singing the blues in pursuit of a new stadium?

The last three games at the Coliseum drew 3035, 3407 and 4930 fans. Sometimes the only sound echoing through the massive concrete structure came from a few drummers in the stands. They were rallying in support of their Oakland Athletics, but perhaps the message could have been more of a demonstration against an ownership that is pushing for a…

A's finances: In the red or the black as team pursues a new stadium?

In paying their players $57.795 million, the A's have MLB's smallest payroll and are destined to have the lowest attendance. The troubling circumstances at 7000 Coliseum Way make it easier for owner John Fisher to orchestrate an exit from Oakland. It would have been entirely understandable if those fans were beating the drum for the A's to…

As Major League Baseball looks toward the future, commissioner Rob Manfred has been open about his desire to eventually expand to 32 teams.

The Oakland A's were recently deemed to have the worst food in MLB

The Oakland A's can add a new item to the all-time-low list of accomplishments they've racked up over the last few years. This time, though, it isn't having one of the worst owners in sports or ranking dead last in team batting average. To no one's surprise, perhaps, the East Bay baseball team now has the recognition of having the worst stadium…
