@@PTANV-x2g Within the first minute of the video, Brodie says that these are prices in Stubhub (most people know they are a reseller) and that the prices can go up and down. Regardless of actual ticket prices or resell ticket prices, $1200 is way too much for an A’s game at a minor league park for a regular season game. And yes, I assume the prices will drop eventually. All sfdko3291 said was that you could fly to and from NY and watch a game for that price. So there’s no need to act like everyone else is dumb and you are somehow superior.
We will see if those prices last very long. What is the attraction to go see them play other than saying you saw a major league team play in a minor league park? If the team plays poorly and the stadium gets as hot as you mentioned they will be lucky if they can even get the prices the minor league gets. The 10,000 attendance cap may not be necessary for most games if ever other than the first few games.
And you would see a major league team in New York. Why would anyone pay more than minor league prices to watch a minor league team in a minor league park?
I wasn't willing to spend the $25 the River Cats wanted to see one of their games, I might be willing to shill out $35 to see an A's game there, especially because of how bad the team will be in Sacramento since their farm system doesn't have any potential super stars in it.

A city can't keep a team if the owner doesn't want to stay there. Especially an owner that doesn't like to spend money. That is the very reason the team is playing in Sacramento ; offered to play there for free.

Depends on where you're at. A regular season game here in Cleveland isn't terrible, you might spend $100-150 on a pair of decent base line seats. Sure it's not the old $10 bleacher seats from back in the day but it's not terrible.

At such an early point these ar speculation sales. To get a true reading on prices, revisit this in the spring when people have their actual tickets to sell. I think prices wil be a fraction of the price.
True, I think I said that sometimes they fluctuate, and could go down... but if you buy them now, from here, this is literally the cost. You can also buy tickets to Giants/Marlins in June for $31 right now, so it's all relative I guess.
@@brodiebrazil The difference is that the Giants have season ticket holders who know they will possess those tickets. The A's have no season ticket holders. This is a scam.

Same exact thing happened to the Coyotes. When they moved to Mullet tix were $200-500 for GA. Attendance was dismal, outside of the premier opponents. A’s will be in Utah in 3 years.
@@PTANV-x2g your defense of fisher in the comments is hilarious, fishers a cheap fuck who doesn’t even wanna fund himself a stadium in Vegas. You think Vegas wants the A’s? Most of them didn’t even want the raiders when they moved there😂
I wonder if this plan falls through will end up like what happened to the coyotes and inevitably lands them in SLC with entirely different owners. SLC already approved funding for a new stadium just in case a team is willing to come. Imagine the irony of Utah getting to sports teams because two owners were too incompetent and money hungry in different markets
I just traveled to all the MLB stadiums this year, was planning on going to Sacramento to check out this park. That’s a hell no for me with those prices lol
Once the Arizona Coyotes moved to an NCAA 5k seat arena the ticket prices got raised and they were finally in the black. I honestly don’t care what the ticket prices are, I’m never going to an MLB game again.
A MLB subscription will run about $130.00 and you can watch any game all season long. They do have blackout games, but I found a good VPN gets around the location restriction. My 65 inch TV is the best seat in the house, and my hearing is not assaulted as it is in any MLB park. (84db+ constant which why I can't attend any game in person. My hearing is too valuable.)
I live in Sac and im waiting til year 2 to go, after the hype dies down. Btw Sorry, Oakland! We almost lost the Kings, TWICE!..., so i would never want to steal your team.
April 15 in Chicago, April 25 in Sacramento. The big risk with that would be paying the inflated prices and then possibly losing to the far and away worst team of 2024.
Just subscribed to your channel. From the looks of things, these prices for MLB games are out of control. Haven’t been to a game since 2018 here. Don’t have the time to do it right now. Great job with your videos. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next one.
I’m from Oakland and lived there all my life. Moved one year ago to Sacramento area. Knowing what I used to pay in Oakland, I will NOT pay that over inflated ticket prices. Plus it is hot as hell here in Sacramento, I’ll stay home with my A/C thank you very much!
I’d chalk it up to there aren’t many resellers in the game yet, looks like only 50 or so on stub hub and single digits on seat geek. Would it be correct to assume they represent businesses that bought season tix packages specifically to resell? If so, prices should go down as single game tix become available.
I went to see the three games the A's played in Baltimore this year and my tickets were around $40 a game. They were in the middle of the upper deck and between the dugouts. Those A's prices are crazy.
This is akin to when the Chargers player at the Galaxy’s stadium in Carson. They are charging a premium for a unique venue, but what happens if the A’s plans to move into Vegas falls through? Once the novelty is gone if the A’s aren’t competitive then where’s the value proposition when you can likely get a cheaper ticket in San Francisco?
Governors club tickets get you access to Solon Club. That's it. Basically, private bathrooms and food/bar area ( food is not included). Parking is not included.
averages can be heavily influenced by the high end. it would be interesting to see what the average minimum ticket prices are across stadiums, and the median ticket price.
This is just due to hype right now. The resale tickets will quickly drop once the season starts and no one shows up. And more importantly, since they are not going to be selling out, why would anyone need resale tickets anyway? They'll just go to the team's website and buy direct.
The park was, and I'm sure still is, a really nice place to watch AAA baseball. To see a MLB game there on a regular basis will be an experience. No matter where you sit, you'll be very close to the action. There are no bad seats.
@Leftylobber We went to the Memorial Day game back in 2001. Day game, and the temp was 106. Not long after the game started most of the fans had abandoned their seats and moved up to the concourse to watch in the shade.
This makes sense. I mean you are getting to see the top athletes of the profession for the first time in Sac at a minor league park with super limited seating and not as much security or with the amenities one is accustomed to at a regular season game. This is basically a Spring Training game experience. Also, the Cubs have a HUGE following like the GIANTS Yanks Cards doyers mets. Pretty realistic
Single game tickets aren't even available yet so these are I'm guessing season ticket holders or someone with the means to buy tickets hoping to sell them to some idiot at a higher price? Wait til the entire season is available to the public to see how out of line prices are.
These tickets are outrageously expensive by baseball standards - I paid about $200 + fees for a very good, lower level seat just beyond third base for Saturday night's Yankees - Royals playoff game. Also note that there is no open, web based public sale of A's tickets by the A's; the website directs you to call them for season ticketing opportunities. I assume these tickets are being offered for sale by a few people who bought season tickets and are testing the waters. We'll have to wait until single tickets go on sale later to really get a sense of pricing - there's no doubt they will be higher than in Oakland due to the novelty factor and the much smaller seating capacity.
At these Ticket Prices, I think John Fisher is trying to accomplish something never seen in team sports history… The total combined Gross Income of Fans with a ticket purchased is higher than the total combined Gross Income of the Home Team Roster during a game. If John Fisher can pull this off in 81 home games per season in a 3 year period while in Sacramento, then the rest of us sports fans are damn stupid. Another Great Business decision John, WAY TO GO!
Brodie: Interesting take on ticket revenue. Here's my thought: recently I looked up how much each team receives in revenue sharing and TV revenue before they even open the gates. If the numbers were correct, all teams except the top ten in salary could meet their salary obligations without selling a ticket! So, why do we still have to hear about small market teams not being able to compete or teams like the A's potential charging 4 or 5 times what other teams are charging for tickets? Thanks for your insights into this and other topics. A big fan of your videos.
It would be interesting to know what prices the A's actually charged for the tickets. What were the face value of the tickets. The secondary market is usually highter. Is there a way for you to report the amount the A's actually charged for the tickers.
Quick question, has anyone ever talked about Omaha as a temporary location? They have a stadium that is MLB size and just needs a few upgrades that is empty save for 3 weeks a year
I live in Sacramento and would like to see the novelty of a major league team playing in a small ballpark, but not at those prices. That said, I could see others paying that much. There will be some people coming from the Bay Area, some locals, some people from Las Vegas who want to see their new team, and the people from around the country who want to see their teams playing in a small ballpark. Will those numbers add up to 10,000 per night? Maybe.
It’s kind of pathetic that Fisher would be willing to take a potential loss rather than keeping the team in Oakland. Personally, he should’ve been forced to sell the team. He doesn’t care about a single thing in this situation. I wish a lot of misfortune on him.
Is coach prime now managing this team?? This is colorado football 2.0. Avg ticket for them Is about $200. If this was the coli with a new owner and higher payroll i would pay but nothing more than $100 a seat. This is the start of a downward spiral for the a's leaving oakland. Noones paying them prices to see a triple aaa team in a triple aaa park
Not sure how this works, but do the A’s get a cut of the ticket resale? Or does the ticket holder pocket the difference over face value? There’s not a bad seat in the house at Sutter Health with excellent sight lines. You’re really on top of the action. The Coliseum was nifty before Mt. Davis although the massive foul territory kept us fans back somewhat. I suspect fans will sellout game’s throughout their stay here. Sacramento is a baseball town and fans have a high tolerance for losing. The loyalty to the Kings over the years is proof of that concept. Fisher needs to sell and Oakland got the shaft. Bottom line is Northern California deserves two MLB teams. Full stop. Preferably in Oakland of course. I can only hope we can complicate the move or at least get MLB attention. In the meantime, bring the hometown Sactown heroes back to the A’s: Dusty out of retirement, Logan Webb, Rowdy Tellez, Mauricio Dubon, Rhys Hoskins and James Outman. That would be fun!
3:05 This was quickly glossed over, but the heat is going to be a MAJOR issue. You're 90+ degrees before noon in the dead of summer. I'm curious to see how the TV ratings fair if MLB schedules games with a 10am start time. Will advertisers pull their ads? Will NBC Sports cut their losses after a season? When will the Player's Union step in? Most people in Sac won't consider shelling out a mortgage payment for a baseball game. Sac is Kings territory
The A's will be mostly be playing night games in Sacramento. Probably have less than 10 day games. Even at night-time in Sacramento it'll still be 70-80 degrees in summer. Compared to Oakland where it's cool at night-time 50-60 degrees
Heat had never been a problem in Texas with the MLB and the players association demanding to play Sunday afternoon games when the temperature was over 100 without a cloud in the sky... All us fans were suffering like Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunes cartoon in the middle of a desert... The fans demanded evening games, not afternoon games.... The players are paid far too much, they can get home at 5 am and sleep on the plane...
@@stevepeterson3622 Really ❓ Shame, chance to have a unique uniform for fans to collect Too Bad, they should have had a fan contest to design the uniforms Huh 🤔
I can't wait to see Fisher and Co. flop in Sacramento. I can see decent attendance in April while this is new, but ticket prices and the heat will make crowds at the Coliseum look huge by comparison.
Such a fascinating report. To me it would be demeaning to pay these kind of prices for a ticket, doesn't matter whether I could easily afford the money. To pay those prices is to be used, even humiliated. Prediction--you will say fanciful--John Fisher will sell the team before the sojourn in Sacramento is complete. Nothing is going to work for Fisher. The Sacramento ballpark, the majority of the time will be mostly empty. As you point out, at many of those prices it would be cheaper to take an airplane to other cities to see the the A's. One more prediction, assuming that the A's subsequently get to Las vegas: The people of Las Vegas won't want them. They too, will feel used, are already feeling imposed upon. The major of Las Vegas having said the A's should stay in Oakland; in that there is a foreboding. She was more than trying to show a kindness. Thank you for the report.
I'm thinking that the SELL movement should make a massive showing outside the stadium on opening day but not go in, or consistently show up at the stadium and go to River Cats games but not Athletics games.
I’m a Giants fan and I’ve attended a Sacramento River Cats game. It is going to be real easy to boycott the A’s in that skillet they call a stadium. People complain about Levi’s stadium heat but never went to a noon game early July when it is 107 out in Sutter field. They sold out of the strawberry and orange slushie drinks by the 7th because of the heat.
For that opening night. my wife spent less per ticket ($900) to be stage level close at Taylor Swift in Paris. NO WAY IN HELL do I spent $2G for night out in West Sac.

I wonder if this plan falls through will end up like what happened to the coyotes and inevitably lands them in SLC with entirely different owners.
SLC already approved funding for a new stadium just in case a team is willing to come.
Imagine the irony of Utah getting to sports teams because two owners were too incompetent and money hungry in different markets
I just traveled to all the MLB stadiums this year, was planning on going to Sacramento to check out this park. That’s a hell no for me with those prices lol
Yes, good and tell your friends! Trying to lower this unprecedented demand.
Once the Arizona Coyotes moved to an NCAA 5k seat arena the ticket prices got raised and they were finally in the black. I honestly don’t care what the ticket prices are, I’m never going to an MLB game again.
A MLB subscription will run about $130.00 and you can watch any game all season long. They do have blackout games, but I found a good VPN gets around the location restriction. My 65 inch TV is the best seat in the house, and my hearing is not assaulted as it is in any MLB park. (84db+ constant which why I can't attend any game in person. My hearing is too valuable.)
1/3 of the capacity of the Oakland Coliseum. 3x the price. Makes sense to me. 😮
This is like 10x the price from a few years ago.
They're still gonna get the same attendance as at the Coliseum.
For lower bowl seats that seems on the high side but not wildly out of line Lack of 15,000 upper deck seats wrecks the average.
I live in Sac and im waiting til year 2 to go, after the hype dies down. Btw Sorry, Oakland! We almost lost the Kings, TWICE!..., so i would never want to steal your team.
Ill wait for the White Sox games!
April 15 in Chicago, April 25 in Sacramento. The big risk with that would be paying the inflated prices and then possibly losing to the far and away worst team of 2024.
Good choice. You'll have 10,623 seats to yourself... 😃
Basically makes up my mind about trying to support them in town. I was conflicted about it, but this solves that.
April in Sacramento is more likely to be in the mid 70s and maybe some rain. A day game would be much nicer than a night game.
Given the timing, and where the tickets are listed, are these even real tickets or is this just speculators posting?
They will have a hard time filling that small ball park with those prices.
Just subscribed to your channel. From the looks of things, these prices for MLB games are out of control. Haven’t been to a game since 2018 here. Don’t have the time to do it right now. Great job with your videos. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next one.
Whew! That's VERY steep!
I wish I could short these tickets
I’m from Oakland and lived there all my life. Moved one year ago to Sacramento area. Knowing what I used to pay in Oakland, I will NOT pay that over inflated ticket prices. Plus it is hot as hell here in Sacramento, I’ll stay home with my A/C thank you very much!
No way.
Even with all of THEM in NYC seats in Yankee Stadium go unused.
People who disagreed with me saying scalping is the problem... O.K.👌
I’d chalk it up to there aren’t many resellers in the game yet, looks like only 50 or so on stub hub and single digits on seat geek. Would it be correct to assume they represent businesses that bought season tix packages specifically to resell? If so, prices should go down as single game tix become available.
Expensive ❓
Smaller stadium 🏟️
Odd
Sacramento should give a discount 😂
The TH-camrs will love it. They can make videos titled "I paid $2500 to watch a Major League team play at a Minor League park!!".
very true!
They’re banking on it being a small crowd. That it will be more intimate.
I went to see the three games the A's played in Baltimore this year and my tickets were around $40 a game. They were in the middle of the upper deck and between the dugouts. Those A's prices are crazy.
I guess there won’t be anymore “$2 Wednesday” Tickets.
@@PTANV-x2g Enough already. You are a submissive fischer stan . We get it. Your preaching is getting really old. Your opinion is noted.
Ya mean this doesn't include onsite Stomper babysitting services
This is akin to when the Chargers player at the Galaxy’s stadium in Carson. They are charging a premium for a unique venue, but what happens if the A’s plans to move into Vegas falls through? Once the novelty is gone if the A’s aren’t competitive then where’s the value proposition when you can likely get a cheaper ticket in San Francisco?
would never pay that much. I didn't pay that much for Phillies playoff tickets.
Excellent breakdown. of an insane business model,
Hey Brodie You're always welcome across the Bay! Giants will treat you right!! 😁
The absolute worst price to fan experience value in all of global sports!😢🤬🤮
That’s ridiculous but doesn’t surprise me.
Governors club tickets get you access to Solon Club. That's it. Basically, private bathrooms and food/bar area ( food is not included). Parking is not included.
averages can be heavily influenced by the high end. it would be interesting to see what the average minimum ticket prices are across stadiums, and the median ticket price.
I've never seen triple digit prices for MLB before
For fans in the Sac area, it would be cheaper to Uber to San Francisco and watch the A's play the Giants at Oracle Park.
StAy 💛 in 💚 OAKLAND!!!
This is just due to hype right now. The resale tickets will quickly drop once the season starts and no one shows up. And more importantly, since they are not going to be selling out, why would anyone need resale tickets anyway? They'll just go to the team's website and buy direct.
they're not going to be selling out? that would be a huge red flag.
The park was, and I'm sure still is, a really nice place to watch AAA baseball. To see a MLB game there on a regular basis will be an experience. No matter where you sit, you'll be very close to the action. There are no bad seats.
$$$$$$$$$……mic drop
It is an incredibly intimate stadium. It's unbelievably beautiful until 5pm 🌅🌆👀🔥👨🦯
@Leftylobber We went to the Memorial Day game back in 2001. Day game, and the temp was 106. Not long after the game started most of the fans had abandoned their seats and moved up to the concourse to watch in the shade.
These prices are pure insanity, no chance in hell of spend more than $50 to attend a single game🤮
With today’s economy there won’t be many sold … and that ball park gets really warm during day games
This makes sense. I mean you are getting to see the top athletes of the profession for the first time in Sac at a minor league park with super limited seating and not as much security or with the amenities one is accustomed to at a regular season game. This is basically a Spring Training game experience. Also, the Cubs have a HUGE following like the GIANTS Yanks Cards doyers mets. Pretty realistic
Single game tickets aren't even available yet so these are I'm guessing season ticket holders or someone with the means to buy tickets hoping to sell them to some idiot at a higher price? Wait til the entire season is available to the public to see how out of line prices are.
What are face value tix @Brodie , not high markup secondary market tix?
These tickets are outrageously expensive by baseball standards - I paid about $200 + fees for a very good, lower level seat just beyond third base for Saturday night's Yankees - Royals playoff game. Also note that there is no open, web based public sale of A's tickets by the A's; the website directs you to call them for season ticketing opportunities. I assume these tickets are being offered for sale by a few people who bought season tickets and are testing the waters. We'll have to wait until single tickets go on sale later to really get a sense of pricing - there's no doubt they will be higher than in Oakland due to the novelty factor and the much smaller seating capacity.
We all knew this would happen
Was hoping to see the Mariners play on Wednesday May 7, most likely a day game.
$161 for a single ticket? No thanks.
At these Ticket Prices, I think John Fisher is trying to accomplish something never seen in team sports history…
The total combined Gross Income of Fans with a ticket purchased is higher than the total combined Gross Income of the Home Team Roster during a game.
If John Fisher can pull this off in 81 home games per season in a 3 year period while in Sacramento, then the rest of us sports fans are damn stupid.
Another Great Business decision John, WAY TO GO!
I live in Elk Grove and was planning to see them but not at the price - hell no!!
You think this is bad? Wait until vegas prices kick in 😅

@@brodiebrazilI'm a big fan. I love you. Amen 🙏
Could see a repeat of this situation in Utah given how much money they are willing to spend on luring an MLB team.
Brodie: Interesting take on ticket revenue. Here's my thought: recently I looked up how much each team receives in revenue sharing and TV revenue before they even open the gates. If the numbers were correct, all teams except the top ten in salary could meet their salary obligations without selling a ticket! So, why do we still have to hear about small market teams not being able to compete or teams like the A's potential charging 4 or 5 times what other teams are charging for tickets? Thanks for your insights into this and other topics. A big fan of your videos.
Seems eerily similar to the Arizona Coyotes charging more to play in a minor league arena.
it's a minor league ballpark for a bottom-hugging team, how special could it be?
It would be interesting to know what prices the A's actually charged for the tickets. What were the face value of the tickets. The secondary market is usually highter. Is there a way for you to report the amount the A's actually charged for the tickers.
Quick question, has anyone ever talked about Omaha as a temporary location? They have a stadium that is MLB size and just needs a few upgrades that is empty save for 3 weeks a year
I live in Sacramento and would like to see the novelty of a major league team playing in a small ballpark, but not at those prices. That said, I could see others paying that much. There will be some people coming from the Bay Area, some locals, some people from Las Vegas who want to see their new team, and the people from around the country who want to see their teams playing in a small ballpark. Will those numbers add up to 10,000 per night? Maybe.
It’s kind of pathetic that Fisher would be willing to take a potential loss rather than keeping the team in Oakland. Personally, he should’ve been forced to sell the team. He doesn’t care about a single thing in this situation. I wish a lot of misfortune on him.
I live in sac and have been showing folks the prices on gametime. 1600 bucks!
Is coach prime now managing this team?? This is colorado football 2.0. Avg ticket for them Is about $200. If this was the coli with a new owner and higher payroll i would pay but nothing more than $100 a seat. This is the start of a downward spiral for the a's leaving oakland. Noones paying them prices to see a triple aaa team in a triple aaa park
Would like to finally see the River Cats… Thx for showing us the shady side :)
Not sure how this works, but do the A’s get a cut of the ticket resale?
Or does the ticket holder pocket the difference over face value?
There’s not a bad seat in the house at Sutter Health with excellent sight lines. You’re really on top of the action.
The Coliseum was nifty before Mt. Davis although the massive foul territory kept us fans back somewhat.
I suspect fans will sellout game’s throughout their stay here. Sacramento is a baseball town and fans have a high tolerance for losing. The loyalty to the Kings over the years is proof of that concept.
Fisher needs to sell and Oakland got the shaft. Bottom line is Northern California deserves two MLB teams. Full stop. Preferably in Oakland of course. I can only hope we can complicate the move or at least get MLB attention.
In the meantime, bring the hometown Sactown heroes back to the A’s: Dusty out of retirement, Logan Webb, Rowdy Tellez, Mauricio Dubon, Rhys Hoskins and James Outman. That would be fun!
No, the A's won't get a cut.
Compare to prices in Oakland?
Also apparently the River Cats have scheduling priority over the A’s, so the MLB club will be getting the day games mostly.
Wow. Maybe I won't be seeing a game in Sacramento.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the River Cats will have more sell outs in 2025 than the A’s will.
3:05 This was quickly glossed over, but the heat is going to be a MAJOR issue. You're 90+ degrees before noon in the dead of summer. I'm curious to see how the TV ratings fair if MLB schedules games with a 10am start time. Will advertisers pull their ads? Will NBC Sports cut their losses after a season? When will the Player's Union step in? Most people in Sac won't consider shelling out a mortgage payment for a baseball game. Sac is Kings territory
The A's will be mostly be playing night games in Sacramento. Probably have less than 10 day games. Even at night-time in Sacramento it'll still be 70-80 degrees in summer. Compared to Oakland where it's cool at night-time 50-60 degrees
These games are not going to get any national coverage.
@@Turnkey_BM The first pitch time isn’t the thing keeping the A’s off national TV
Heat had never been a problem in Texas with the MLB and the players association demanding to play Sunday afternoon games when the temperature was over 100 without a cloud in the sky... All us fans were suffering like Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunes cartoon in the middle of a desert... The fans demanded evening games, not afternoon games.... The players are paid far too much, they can get home at 5 am and sleep on the plane...
Question ❓
Is there going to be a Sacramento A’s Jersey & Hat available ❓
Still going to say Oakland ❓
They say they're just going to be called the A's or Athletics during their stay in Sacramento.
@@stevepeterson3622 Really ❓
Shame, chance to have a unique uniform for fans to collect
Too Bad, they should have had a fan contest to design the uniforms
Huh 🤔
They are not the Sacramento A’s, they’re just playing there while they wait for Vegas to play out so…no.
@@SlipKid1975 LOL 😂
Fans are up for a wake up call come 2026, 2027, 2028
Brodie what tablet and drawing pen do you use?
I got that season pass from Oakland for $109. 45 games last season.
I seen Ohtani hit his first career grand slam at angel stadium for $2 usd 😂😂😂
I can't wait to see Fisher and Co. flop in Sacramento. I can see decent attendance in April while this is new, but ticket prices and the heat will make crowds at the Coliseum look huge by comparison.
Ridiculous! It’s expensive like an International airplane ticket
I live outside Sacramento and my boy just wants to see Bryce Harper. I didn't know flying across the country would be a better option.
Such a fascinating report. To me it would be demeaning to pay these kind of prices for a ticket, doesn't matter whether I could easily afford the money. To pay those prices is to be used, even humiliated. Prediction--you will say fanciful--John Fisher will sell the team before the sojourn in Sacramento is complete. Nothing is going to work for Fisher. The Sacramento ballpark, the majority of the time will be mostly empty. As you point out, at many of those prices it would be cheaper to take an airplane to other cities to see the the A's. One more prediction, assuming that the A's subsequently get to Las vegas: The people of Las Vegas won't want them. They too, will feel used, are already feeling imposed upon. The major of Las Vegas having said the A's should stay in Oakland; in that there is a foreboding. She was more than trying to show a kindness. Thank you for the report.
This "transition" to Vegas has become more of a shitshow with each passing day. The A's will remain a joke of a franchise until John Fisher sells it.
9:04 They were overpriced at $35
What exactly is the TV deal the A's have with NBC in Sacramento?
Thanks for keeping it real, Brodie!
I'm thinking that the SELL movement should make a massive showing outside the stadium on opening day but not go in, or consistently show up at the stadium and go to River Cats games but not Athletics games.
I’m a Giants fan and I’ve attended a Sacramento River Cats game. It is going to be real easy to boycott the A’s in that skillet they call a stadium. People complain about Levi’s stadium heat but never went to a noon game early July when it is 107 out in Sutter field. They sold out of the strawberry and orange slushie drinks by the 7th because of the heat.
John Fischer did say you would get to see Aaron Judge hit HR's, he didn't say it would be super expensive.
For that opening night. my wife spent less per ticket ($900) to be stage level close at Taylor Swift in Paris. NO WAY IN HELL do I spent $2G for night out in West Sac.
There F***** should of built Howard Terminal and sold the team
Totally agree
