Lol this is great!! All because of fisher and his corrupt way of conducting business. This isnt because the a's dont have fans. They dont draw cause of the poison in the owners box
What Jeremy isn’t mentioning is that these teams with new stadiums actually invested in their team like the braves, who have spent money. Also the knights were immediately successful and are home grown in Vegas. I doubt fisher would invest in the team in Vegas, when he already is spending a little over a billion dollars on the stadium and has to cover any overages that may incur while building the stadium.
@@justinmorado9525 💯 you’re absolutely correct sir. Since getting the new stadium, the quakes have been near the bottom when it comes to spending under john fisher
And with the NHL expanding into the desert, the NHL purposely stacked the cards do Vegas would at least have a semi decent team. Teams were only allowed to protect 8 skaters from the expansion draft or 7 skaters if they wanted to protect a goalie. So if you had a great goaltending tandem and two prospects in your system you really liked, Vegas could choose one of your goalies and a skater from your 2nd line. Athletics are just bringing their AAAA club with them.
The compression to the Indians and Bravs is laughable they had established fan bases already the new ball park's along with them spending money gave thier fans a rejuvenation to show up the A's haven't shown a willingness to spend money they just keep turning over thier roster after a period of time when they don't want to pay thier stars
The lead representative for the A's is oily, and untruthful. He's weaving an narrative which is false to placate or lull the members of the Committee into a sense that there are no problems with ponying up hundreds of millions of dollars to build the A's a ballpark. The truth is that John Fisher has driven this franchise into the ground, and refuses to spend money to rebuild. That has soured the fans on this ownership. Add on top of that the effort of the owner to cut-and-run from Oakland, and that compounds the attendance problem. The first factor (stripping the team of stars, and not replacing them) was a slap in the face to the fans. The second (cutting-and-running from Oakland) is not only a second slap in the face of the fans, but a slap in the face of the A's legacy. Fisher has successfully destroyed both: fan loyalty, and the A's legacy. And he claims that he needs a new home. No. The A's need a new owner. If the Vegas option implodes, and Fisher comes crawling back to Oakland, I don't think the City of Oakland should move forward from where they left off on Howard Terminal until Fisher sells the A's. The City should make that a condition to closing the deal: Fisher needs to be gone. Instead of re-entering negotiations with Fisher, the City of Oakland should get on the phone with Commissioner Manfred and tell him they will not take back the A's unless Fisher is gone. He is untrustworthy. He's cheap. He's disloyal to the history and to the fanbase. He's greedy. And he's not a good faith partner for the city. Nothing should move forward for a new home for the A's unless Fisher is gone. He's been owner for 18 years. He could have and should have solved the ballpark issue years ago. The situation of the team has deteriorated precisely because Fisher is not committed to making this team competitive and is not committed to putting a winner on the field. And just as Oakland shouldn't enter into renewed negotiations with Fisher, the State of Nevada and Clark Co. should not give the A's a dime until Fisher sells the team.
But the thing about moving cities, and especially this move, theyre likely to lose most of the fanbase. The fanbase will not be moving to follow them in Vegas. Theyll have to build a whole new fanbase.
The A's ain't bringing anything, the owner is why the team has no fans in the seats. That suit is full of nonsense, $300 million, it's $500 mil. Ballys is going to build what the Braves built, not the A's. The land company "gave" them the land for RENT and other Considerations. To get to the game are the fans going to have to walk through a casino? Is that one of the "other considerations"?
“Can’t speak for the A’s” in regards to community benefits. A very telling statement. Did you see him look sideways and squirm? And also, if he can’t speak for the A’s why is he there???
Okay, so Jeremy is an advocate for letting John Fisher making Las Vegas fans suffer. That team will not be any different from when they were in Oakland. Let's say they do make more money, but being realistic Fisher is a cheapskate. He'd have to sell the team over there too.
A Stadium could be a destination for travelers if it has a lot of history like Wrigley Field or if the Stadium is a marvel of modern engineering like AT&T Stadium. A new version of an old Jewel Box Stadium with the most expensive ticket prices in the league hosting a team that most of the league hates because of the move and the owners? Good luck with that.
Is the abysmal attendance going to continue in Las Vegas by giving away future prospects for nothing? Ownership needs to change if they want to move to Nevada or preferably just in Oakland
We Love the A’s here in Oakland but hate the ownership. She does not not even know that John Fisher is not willing to invest in a team to “win.” A new stadium does not automatically mean better players
Dear Brodie-- Two things: 1) Who are the three people on the panel answering the questions? I feel like holding yourself to the lower standard of broadcaster, you could take 15 seconds and introduce what we're watching. 2) Three questions from one assemblywoman constitutes "Tough Questions"? They're legitimate, tough questions. But were those the only tough questions asked from the session?
It's going to be a bad Investment bad business and the streets of Las Vegas boulevard and Tropicana boulevard it's going to be chaos. In traffic jams. And the numbers do not add up. I don't see Oakland A's being successful in Las Vegas to bring good revenues. I just don't see it happening it's going to be a waste of money.
Its funny how they say people will come to see the other team, what does that say about the fanbase of vegas if you have a team that comes with over 100 loss back to back season
vegans don't like going to the strip, especially to that intersection. Oaklanders have stated they won't follow the team over to LV if they do move. The A's are basically left without a fanbase if/once they move.
How many home town fans will show up to a Thursday afternoon game against Detroit in July and August, to root for the team with the worst record in baseball?
Remember, Fisher wanted something like $500 million in cash. Then the number changed to $395 million in tax credits against future income. Tax credits are not the same as immediate cash. Now it's down to something like $105 million from the state in tax credits? And Fisher still wants to go for it? Dumbest billionaire in the country. Sure, the State and County will take the A's, if they can fleece the owner. Frankly, I don't want the A's back in Oakland if Fisher remains the owner. Fisher has killed my enthusiasm for the A's, and Kaval has also killed it with his years of lying to the fans.
Unbelievable... As a retired strategic planner, I know you can twist numbers to tell any fairytale you want to spin. These projections are founded in fantasy. How can this guy speak with a straight face?
Oddly, how many out of state fans are flying into Oakland to watch their team play the A's-very few, just look at the current attendance! According to one the Astro players, tens of people came out! Yet these suits are hanging their hats on fans flying into Vegas to watch this Double-A talented A's. Fisher purposely tanked this team to limit any draw to watch this team in Oakland, so is he pledging to the people of Vegas he will reverse course and actually pay talent to come play in Vegas or will he still be the frugal minded money grubbing owner he has shown to be and shuffle players to keep lining his pockets all while hoping the franchise grows equity for him to eventually sell. Run Vegas run!
I don’t understand why this guy, if not an A’s employee isn’t being fully transparent. It would be easy to say the land is being donated by the Tropicana and MLB is waving a fee that would be in the hundreds of millions, but he struggles and mostly succeeds from saying that….disgusting politician.
He says "They can play the Yankees at least every other year" -- as if that will make up for the other 80 games a season with low attendance. Keep Fisher in Oakland!!
What if Fisher would invest in a new Stadium in Oakland and in the Team to be competitive....? I would expect that the attendance will signifcantly rise. The strategy from Fisher and his entourage is so obvious. It's hard to understand why MLB doesn't stop this charade. Sell the A's to an ownership who is willing to Invest in the team to be competive. This isn't Fisher and he also won't be in Vegas. With him Vegas will have an expensive misfit toy in a couple of years.
Funny how the example Aguareo used were cities that kept their team and who wanted to stay there. He is claiming a new market of a team that killed their fan base would thrive as the examples he used. That is not going to happen. #NoOnSB509
I am so sick and tired of corporate/billionaire welfare. Make stadiums privately funded. Most of the time stadiums are not good investments which is why they go to taxpayers with their hand out. If they were good investments, privately funding these stadiums would be no problem.
That dude trying too hard to convince her. Vegas straight up Dodgers and Raiders territory ⚫️🔵 most of the people from Vegas from LA so yea no one gonna want the A’s
LOL, a 30,000 seat stadium? I guess the A's know they will never have to host a World Series if they move to Vegas. Who wants to go to the desert in summer to watch a team lose? Jokes on you, Las Vegas and A's management.
Bla Bla Bla, all this stage performance is fun, but in the end they will approve it and be long gone from office before the chips fall and the bills come due.
The interesting thing is that this Assemblywoman is under the belief that the A's are hated by many community members in Oakland. Clearly, she has a bias against this team being anywhere. If the A's are truly as hated by the community as she believes, why are people in Oakland trying so hard to keep them and prevent them from moving to Las Vegas? Obviously, there is a belief held by many that there is a net positive to having the A's located in one's city.
She stands on the idea of not investing a single public dime into the ballpark, which she has a right to. She may have a bias simply because of how careless the Athletics were in maintaining and working with Oakland government on the Coliseum.
@@vincesmith2499 I readily admit that I am a lifelong A's fan, so I have sentimentality at play as well.

@@imnotsqiddy If she was fine with the Raiders getting public money via hotel taxes, she should be even more comfortable with a ballpark that pays for itself via the business it generates on its own land. As for how the A's were in Oakland, the fact that spending two decades dealing with local authorities and red tape trying to get a new ballpark in Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, San Jose, Oakland, Oakland, etc. indicates that some areas are simply more difficult to do business in than in others.

When DC offered to pay for 2/3rds of the Nationals' ballpark, MLB responded with a counteroffer for DC to pay 3/3rds.
I’d imagine the A’s attendance has plummeted in Oakland largely due to fans being disgusted with ownership being cheap and having a foot out the door.
Hit the nail right in the head.
Correct
We definitely are. When your best and favorite players get traded when their career is on an upward trajectory it's incredibly frustrating.
Bingo.
That's exactly what happened. It's not that the A's don't draw. It's that the Bay Area has been boycotting a slumlord owner! 20+ year death spiral!😢
We Love the Oakland Athletics. We Hate Fischer.
Politely, we ask this distinction.
Sincerely, Bay Area
Blaming the fans for low attendance is a real pos move. These 2 liars deserved to be called out in real time
Lol this is great!! All because of fisher and his corrupt way of conducting business. This isnt because the a's dont have fans. They dont draw cause of the poison in the owners box

Fisher also owns the SJ Earthquakes, got a new stadium, and still doesn’t spend on the team.
@@justinmorado9525 💯 you’re absolutely correct sir. Since getting the new stadium, the quakes have been near the bottom when it comes to spending under john fisher
Low attendance is due to low payroll. Low payroll leads to a losing team. Moving to Vegas won’t change that.
And all of this was the doing of the ownership. They SABOTAGED the fan base by not investing in the team.
A zebra can’t change its stripes.
The Golden Knights' arena was PRIVATELY FUNDED.
And with the NHL expanding into the desert, the NHL purposely stacked the cards do Vegas would at least have a semi decent team.
