When the A's move to LV I do hope they do make a soccer stadium for the Oakland Roots. I'm in Sacramento and they made a small stadium for the Republic and it sells out game after game. Seeing how excited fans are for the Roots I hope they can create a small soccer stadium for the team and use the remaining land for something for the people of Oakland.
A's don't own the surrounding land its all city owned which is really why they could not develop it in the first place. Also one reason why the Raiders had such a hard time, to some extent. I agree the building will be demo and the city will still be paying off Mount Davis, another reason why the Raiders could not get a deal done. Most likely it will have housing complex of some kind.
1:30 - That would have been amazing. A new ballpark for the A's on the same site AND a soccer ground for what is now the Oakland Roots? And Oracle being repurposed as a full time concert hall? DAMN.
With the Bay area experiencing a massive homelessness issue the A's leaving would be a major opportunity to build all kinds of affordable housing to help curb the homelessness issues. Just my two cents here.
I completely agree we have feminist leadership that does not understand big business and when you don't offer up public dollars are some type of subsidies most teams are going to leave Oakland is poorly ran and it's going to take a man that understands business and tax breaks and other three get Sports back but as of right now Eastbay is going to be a sports desert
City raised $375 mil in capital ($200 mil more than vegas) and shut off port to commercial traffic. They may be moving, but you can’t say they didn’t try
@@mateocruz8147Facts, and they left a smaller gap than Vegas did. Fisher and Kaval just want to reap the benefits of being in a one team market. Fuck 'em.
@@sirchi8731 that wasnt the issue with why they moved… city council gave the A’s EVERY opportunity 10 times over, but the team ownership wanted to move to a bigger market a decade ago.
The rendering of the Coliseum at 0:14 looks like what became of Kezar Stadium after the 49ers left to play at Candlestick Park. It's now repurposed as a high school football field.
There is a great line in a Joni Mitchell song "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" looks like we will tear down the parking lot and perhaps put up paradise (without the A's unfortunately)
Probably tear down the coliseum and leave Mt Davis to make an NHRA track. How are the A’s going to build a retractable roof stadium in only 9 acres? That’s the size of Fenway.
I don't see anything being done with the site for decades, they will just let the coliseum sit. The city and state just don't want to create anything nice. That plot of land is nowhere, no reason to build anything. I see maybe some housing going up since it does have a bart station. But it is in a horrible area.
I am not a big fan of the Oakland Athletics they keep following the Raiders wherever they go. Oakland also is more of a football town but most likely they want to turn that whole area for real estate for illegal immigrants and single parents
Mr. Depressed Ginger, do “US” ALL A SOLID, 🛑 saying “if” the A’s will move, it’s WHEN the A’s will move … I ❤️ your stadium videos & keep ⬆️ the great work w/them….
I hate the As ownership don’t get me wrong, but the city of Oakland is almost completely useless. They get absolutely nothing done, and the city is a dump as a result.
Is it a done deal that the A’s are moving to Las Vegas? Sounds like they have resistance from Vegas officials about funding stadium construction. I can’t imagine they would be welcome back in Oakland, unless the owner sells the team. MLB would have to have a contingency plan in place if Oakland decides not to renew the lease on the Oakland Coliseum after the 2024 season. Otherwise, the team will be homeless.
After this season,the Oakland A's will play at Las Vegas Ballpark to join the Las Vegas Aviators during the construction of the new Las Vegas Athletics stadium .
@@marioscardina-hs7ys The A’s have a lease at Oakland Coliseum that runs through the 2024 season. If there is a buyout clause it likely would be in their interest to exercise it. If not it still may be more cost effective to pay the full rent while also leasing a ballpark in Las Vegas, especially if there attendance per game continues to be painfully low. Other teams may subsidize the A’s for this .
I’m not giving the A’s a pass, as they truly are gaslighting the city of Oakland and its fans. That being said, the city really did miss out on a golden opportunity by not embracing the A’s more. Not saying they had to agree to all the team’s proposals but between developing Howard terminal and the old site, the city missed out on a lot by playing “hardball.”
Anything built at the current Coliseum site would have to deal with the sea level rise. There would have to be a lot of remediation to make the site flood proof. Of course the media in the bay area doesn't talk about that, because that would bring to light the corruption and incompetence of Oakland government.
Yes, global warming. Watch out Miami, Tampa / St. Pete's, , Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Daytona Beach, Sarasota, Fort Meyers, etc. DeSantis needs to get on this ASAP.
😂😂 at the part he said the oakland Colosseum did not need a tribute to its history and i argee with him needs to be knocked down only thing that should remain standing is mt davis to let oakland officials know why the A’s lefted
Oakland Coliseum and Oakland Arena will be demolished so that they can put housing.The Golden State Warriors moved to San Francisco,the Oakland Raiders moved to Las Vegas and the Oakland A's will move to Las Vegas too.
I don’t think the A’s are going to move to Vegas, I think the mayor of Oakland California is gonna approve the building of a new stadium to keep the A’s in the Oakland area, the name Oakland A’s sounds MUCH BETTER than Las Vegas A’s
Funny, mentioning that you'd never seen soccer in the Coliseum... One of its early tenants was a pro soccer team. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_Clippers And, no, I'm not stumping for soccer (the worst sport ever invented, actually). But I was a kid then, and the family went to a few games (as opposed to an afternoon nap, I suppose). The only thing I really remember was the P.A. announcer, every few minutes trying to pump up the crowd with... "Soccer TO me!". Lameness personified.

The last thing Oakland needs is a Pontiac Silverdome like situation where it just sits as an abandoned relic and eyesore.
Unfortunately that's the most likely scenario. Knocking it down costs money.
The A's own 50 percent of the Coliseum. They screwed the county.
It will be exactly that for 20 years as they try and figure out what to do with the land.
Knowing how this city and its govt operates...I'm willing to bet this is exactly what happens.
The Coliseum/city of Oakland is still paying off Mount Davis and since the A’s own that land I doubt they would pay the money to have it demolished
That land will be for housing.

I think they should tear it down and build a minor league ballpark on the same site as the coliseum. A triple A team could move there

Oakland’s days of being a viable market for major league pro sports are over.
Oakland is all talk. They don't get things done

The city of Buffalo did a similar thing when War Memorial Stadium was demolished. They kept the main entrances and built a high school field.
Lmao the whole area will be leveled when they leave. To much good space there
Oakland has a -178 run differential (scored 180 runs and allowed 358)

I'm thinking for some dumb reason that the coliseum will be razed except for mount Davis.
Most likely, the area going to be mixed use. A Amazon fulfillment warehouse will be built in the area.
The A's wouldn't sell that out
The site should be turned into a park for the homeless.
The Oakland Coliseum will be torn down. Duh. That's a no brainer. Why would they keep it?
Retractable Roofs ftw!

Lmaoo I was at the soccer stadium game back in 08
Use it to house the homeless. Move all the homeless around Oakland to this site.
have the XFL play at the Coliseum

i reckon they should just set it on fire and leave it like that
Affordable housing.....
Turn it into a massive homeless shelter.
Parking lot 🅿️😔
They are a AAA team

Oakland is the Detroit of the west coast
Let’s not pretend if they make it an open park it wouldn’t immediately be overrun by homeless

It’s gonna be the worlds largest homeless encampment,if you think homeless is out of control in Oakland,just wait
Oh no
This will become a homeless ghetto
A’s are moving to Vegas. Confirmed
This guy is singlehandedly giving me the actual news I need to hear
😂
He just finds a random image on the internet and starts clucking along in a train of thought rant of subjective opinions
😂😂 at the part he said the oakland Colosseum did not need a tribute to its history and i argee with him needs to be knocked down only thing that should remain standing is mt davis to let oakland officials know why the A’s lefted
Oakland Coliseum and Oakland Arena will be demolished so that they can put housing.The Golden State Warriors moved to San Francisco,the Oakland Raiders moved to Las Vegas and the Oakland A's will move to Las Vegas too.

Incorrect,I like the Las Vegas Athletics name better than the Oakland Athletics because they're moving to Las Vegas instead of staying in Oakland.
if they demolish coliseum and oracle...that is one big piece of land but you gotta fix the city of oakland...it is a dump
No it's not a dump,it's going to be housing.
