If MLB had any sense they would allow Joe Lacob to purchase the A's to keep them home in Oakland. I guarantee you whether it's Howard Terminal or at the current Coliseum site with the RIGHT owner we can get this done ASAP! MLB then could then let Fisher start a brand new expansion team in Vegas with a clean slate. The battle of the Bay is preserved and new rivalries are born. That's what's good for the game ⚾
Just wait til you see us in the parking lot for the Opening Day Boycott party. Look for the bright green rocker wig and some attitude. Fisher can steal the team, but he can’t steal the A’s fans…
There's time to fix the team and ownership. The equation for success is very different when you have a destination stadium. Las Vegas wants the away team fans to plan a vacation around coming to see their team play in Vegas. That's what this is all about, to drive experience tourism. That goes for the Raiders as well.
Another great video Damon. Thanks once again for continuing to speak for us Oakland A’s fans and for continuing to shine a light on this scam John Fisher is pulling.
Respect to them to getting their own sports team, but let's be real they are just a little chihuahua barking more than they should bite. They're not a bigger and better media market as they claim to be.
I'm glad people are starting to give Vegas credit for the hard work the city has put in because you still hear people bitching and whining about everything and it's getting frustrating
Just let John Fisher sell the team NOW. If he thinks he’s gonna make less money by selling the team, well HE IS!!!! Doris should be a super strict mother to him conquering his life.
He’s still gonna make a crazy amount of money if he sells. He bought the A’s for $180 Million, and now the franchise is estimated to be worth $1.1 Billion. The Orioles did just sell for $1.7 Billion, so the A’s may be higher in value as well
Again, makes too much sense. I am curious as just how "good" the Vegas sports market really is? I mean, the Knights were handed a gift when the expansion rules changed for them as opposed to when the Sharks and other teams came in. Now, credit the Knights ownership in capitalizing on this, well, in their first year when they made the Cup, and have since that time, always been competitive. What if the Knights were NOT competitive?? Just curious.
Manfred and all thirty owners have their index fingers in each ear while saying, "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" as this youtube video starts to play
These aren't so much renderings as more cartoons. To be sure, this is not a retractable roof. There is no trellis, truss, I-beam, cable suspension or anything else to be moved - whether peeled, twisted, split open, or anything else. And where are the lights? Certainly not visible, much less to MLB specs. No, this was another "give them pretty pictures, and get them off our back" event. Money?... 😂...There's no way to tell how much this giant siopao would cost, since no features, materials punchlist, or even spec sheets were included. It could be teflon (a la that great Denver Airport that keeps getting reroofed) or it could be shotcrete on a chickenwire and plywood box beam. Hire a CCP contractor and make it official tofu dreg...Typical Fisher bullshit. He's out there spending Nevada's public money on this dog and pony show, but giving no more specific details than before he even got there...Somebody call the FBI, man. This is organized crime stuff here...
Did you see the Oakland A's Fan Fest? Completely organized by and for the fans. They had well over 16k people there. Oakland supports their team, Fisher is the problem.....you just wait and you will see first hand
The meme that Oakland cannot hold on to Walmart or a McDonalds doesn't apply to Oakland anymore than it does to many MLB cities with a zero future. Crime? Why do the dumbass White Sox want to move? Detroit isn't a great place either. Frisco's park sucks too. Seriously, what future is there in SF when it has a skyscraper leaning to one side that everyone want to get the Hell out of? This move is bogus when the Las Vegas mayor came out and said the A's ought to stay where they are.
To be fair John Fisher says he doesn't need another investor, his family can pay the remaining $1.1B if needed. Reading that killed my hopes they stay in Oakland
No Vegas investors are interested so he's forced to ask mommy for a bump in his allowance. They'll unload it after a few years of losing and double their profit.
@@seanmiles6991 Worth all that money and laid off most employees during Covid and didn't want to pay the minor leaguers until it went viral and he charged his mind. What a total douche. Broke up some good teams to save a buck. He does not love baseball, only money.
You don’t even know the basic principles of the situation… the roof is not retractable and Fisher’s family will be the funding if necessary… I will stop at those two.
i think i know why mlb is pushing this through. and i think bud selig knew this also. the place is a collapse hazard anymore. it will begin in the lower bowl and hopefully not cause a chain reaction.
and now they're blaming us for not coming in such droves to this terrifying hazard
I'm totally tailgating the entire opening season game. I'm not giving a dime to Fisher.

The MLB is a good ol boys club . Just because lacob is rich and a proven winner doesn't mean he fits into the fold with MLB owners .
@@frv1995they are out of touch clearly. Too much rich guys hanging out with each other and not with real people.
@@rainbowmade1880 so true! That goes for the other sports as well
No one wants to ha ve or own a business in Oakland...come in man.
Correct ! People know the Fish isn't cut out to be a winning owner . .plain and simple. .
Just wait til you see us in the parking lot for the Opening Day Boycott party. Look for the bright green rocker wig and some attitude. Fisher can steal the team, but he can’t steal the A’s fans…
DA has been all over this dumpster fire. Much respect!
Fisher isn’t even an A’s fan. He’s a Giants fan. He’s a fraud , liar and a clown. He’s ruining the sport. MLB needs to get him out of there ASAP!!!
Wait….that makes too much sense Damon!
Your right !!!! Las Vegas shouldn’t do Business with cheapass and clueless John Fisher. Commissioner Manfred is blowing it!!!!

Vegas supports a winner in the sense that the NHL bent over backwards to hand them a Cup. God those people are insufferable.

This is like opening an ice cube factory in the north pole. Doesn't make sense.
Just have the Giants and the A's permanently share Pac-Bell Park!!! Problem solved!!!
0:46 rendering phony unrealistic mlb stadium
Manfred and all thirty owners have their index fingers in each ear while saying, "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" as this youtube video starts to play
they put a flip tax on Fisher so he'll pay a penalty if he wants to sell after the move
Las Vegas coyotes new mlb team
3:31 mlb commissioner scammer but that is business capitalism
Even someone who follows this situation doesn't even know it will be a fixed dome. The roof will not move.
The A’s have already said it won’t be retractable.
will it cause seizures?
Saludos, mlb scammers cons commissioner to allow these type mlb owners

💔🤬
can anyone else see my comnt about why the league is pushing this through? (these tend to disappear)
i wouldn't be surprised to see my previous comnt dissapear; they tend to when i type about this.
Damon Amendolara is a panderer and cartoon character. Look at the A's attendance history. They need to move
Let's Go VegA's! Welcome home! Can't wait for this team to be located in a city that supports them and isn't full of homeless junkies and crime!

he's gonna look for 500 million from mama . .BUT,

Interesting that they didn’t offer money in the Bay Area 🤔 it’s either horrible or FISHY anyway you slice it.
John Fisher’s net worth is 2.9 billion by himself.
I don’t see any logical reason why you think he would need investors to finalize.

How many times have you been WRONG? I need a calculator.
you probably are a calculator with your gibberish username.
you need a calculator to count to zero? that's embarrassing
