@@brodiebrazilthere is a article from bleach report / San Francisco chronicle about MLB owners frustrated with Oakland A's and relocation efforts let's hear a story about that
Why don’t we just call a spade a spade. The A’s have NO CLUE what their doing, and speaks volumes to the ability, or lack thereof, of Fisher to really run this team.
Wow. As usual, excellent reporting, Brodie. Your timely observations and perceptive comments are greatly appreciated. Throughout this whole process, you’ve been an indispensable resource, delivering your findings with transparency and integrity. Thanks for contributing as much effort as you do to tracking this saga and, as important, sharing your own heart on the matter at times. You’re the best.
Thanks for the info Brodie. . you're pretty much the only one throwing out info on the process of the move. As hard as it is to watchit happen, I appreciate your reports.
That's the running theory I believe is being discussed behind closed doors. If Manfred and the owners have any negotiating leverage against Fisher, they should use it now.
According to David Samson ( former mlb exec. ) he did this exact thing with the Marlins trying to get a new ballpark and he says that A's construction agreements and operating agreements can take years of negotiating

@@timothyryan7526 Did you even bother to watch the video? 9:15 "The plan is for 9 acres and the 9-acre number has always been the number..." That's the Chief Development Officer for the company that actually owns the land, GLPI. I don't care what fiction you choose to believe from a newspaper reporter, Bally's does not own the land. Bally's can't give them more. GLPI could if they chose to, but considering they're already giving away ~$180 million worth of land, why would they?
@@ProAthl Spin? You're a special kind of stupid. 9:15 (I'll add the timestamp again, because you clearly didn't watch either.) That is a quote from an executive with the company that owns the land. What spin? The Tropicana site has ALWAYS been 9 acres from the very day the unions forced them away from the Wild Wild West site.
Thanks for your update and possible outcomes. I am a GLPI stockholder and I know that their management has been smart in constructing past leasing deals however all past deals only involved casino development. The existing casino company Bally’s has said when they bought the Tropicana that they wanted to demolish the old property and develop a new casino on the site. So I am sure they will be somewhat flexible on how much land they need for their new development. GLPI will be interested in getting the project done quickly since part of their rent is dependent on the revenue the Casino- hotel generates. So if there is any major delay on the part of the A’s I could see GLPI rescind their offer. One possible outcome could be that the new Tropicana becomes part of the new stadium like the one in Toronto. This plan could allow them to possibly get to use more than the original 9:acres in the existing agreement. So it will be interested to see where this proposal goes in the future.
It's mind boggling that the A's have just retained a design team. They committed to nine acres without knowing that it's feasible? Also the landlord sounds like they haven't been in the loop all that much which is a bit surprising since it's their land. Certainly not a done deal by any stretch.
Never underestimate the ability of the A’s front office to mangle a project. They couldn’t get the project across the finish line at Howard Terminal, or Peralta, or Fremont, or San Jose. Why will LV be any different? The LV stadium will be way over budget, will wreck any announced timelines, will be poorly communicated, and will give us all grief until 2029 or 2030.
Just a couple pieces of FYI ... the winter baseball meetings are Dec 3-6 (in Nashville as Brodie said) and I was curious about the minimum space that a ballfield might need, just for the field. Obviously this can change based on the distance to the outfield fences and the amount of foul territory but, based on a quick Google search and not saying it's definitive, but most people's opinions are that you need at least 4.5 to 5 acres just for the field itself. Not much room for the stands. Fenway Park is quoted as covering 9 acres so it may be as cramped and vertical as that, for those of you who have visited.
The Nevada lawmakers that voted in favor of the A's deal should be voted out for the simple reason that they relied on bogus drawings before sticking it to the taxpayers. I could tell those "drawings" were bogus, you could tell, we all could tell. I can't imagine that a multi-million dollar project would be "signed off" on such half baked information. There is no way they'll ever get a retractable roof stadium to fit on nine acres, never mind making it Las Vegas-style spectacular (whatever that entails).

Reference the inflated cost to build the 'Sphere'. MSG initially expected the project to cost around $1.2 billion in 2019, before a series of cost escalations that started in late 2020 pushed the price to its final $2.3 billion level. MSG Sphere's exterior lit up the Las Vegas skyline for the first time on July 4.
Two things to keep in mind have to do with what's currently on the site (the Tropicana Hotel) & the people that are going to be affected by the demolition of the hotel. There might be a movement by locals (especially those that have been in Vegas their whole lives) to keep the Tropicana Hotel alive by trying to get it on the National Register of Historic Places given its impact on the Vegas community (it was one of the first hotels built on the Strip & played a huge role in the Vegas we see today). Getting the Tropicana on this list would prevent it from being demolished. There may also be a movement by Tropicana employees to prevent its demolition because they would likely lose their jobs if the Tropicana gets demolished & Ballys doesn't reassign them to other casinos/resorts.
Brodie this is great investigative journalism from you as usual.Since theres little room for error in neon cityr, the A's would be far better off building and staying in Oakland for reasons you are well aware. The Green & Gold would be the only pro sports team in the East Bay. The sooner everyone gets on the same page, this shovels will be in the ground at Howard Terminal and this fiasco can end
@@togoandmoss there is no deep conversation coming from you or the 2 other grifters that run their mouths on every Oakland post You get what you put out…. I’ve had plenty of intelligent conversations around this with folks who can have em. You and your butt buddies aren’t those folks. Don’t worry tho maybe one day you’ll be witty enough to keep up. Prolly not, but maybe.
Brodie, are you going to cover the MLB debt crunch from the COVID year at all? Or the RSN rebates teams owe? It explains all of the push for Vegas and expansion. Something's definitely up.
A’s should scrap the retractable roof and go with a higher ceiling and all LED inside roof. Maybe the roof should be low profile like SoFi and have a sky casino on the edges of the roof where fans can watch the game while gambling.
Well the reindeer the renderings might not mean much to you but I think they’re kind of cool to look out that way if another ball parks looking at to build a new stadium at least you got something to go off of I just think it renderings are fascinating to look at
Brodie, I live in Vegas and have been watching your videos. I totally get it, you and thousands of loyal A's fans are in shock and denial about the A's departure. I truly respect the disappointment that you and the fans feel. IMHO, the A's and the City of Oakland should have been able to get Howard Terminal done. That said, you guys are at the mercy of a psychotic one-party state and a bankrupt city with a communist mayor. In Vegas, we get stuff done. I guarantee you that the A's new stadium will be a gorgeous, state-of-the-art facility...it's how Vegas rolls. 😉
What make you think that Vages is going to get this done? What make you think that this deal is so good for the A's and the people of Vegas which is sounding and looking more and more like a raw deal. At the end of the day you and those idiots at Bally's are going to kick that can down the road
@@805fillmore what you should be asking yourself.is why do you have so much hate for a City that has done nothing to you. I mean you phrased that question to me. Like a small child that can't play in the sand box with the other kids. But to answer your childish question, I got mad respect for Oakland. Oakland is the toughest city on the planet as far as I'm concerned. But then yet I digress let me ask you this question what city do you live in so we can compare and contrast which city sucks
A baseball stadium is not a toy know if you use it as an example something new something it stands out that’s one thing but it’s not a toy but they can they use that venue for more than just baseball football is more known in Florida than baseball football NASCAR are bigger than baseball I mean Wrigley Field is better than Mount Davis the Cubs have done more than four or five upgrades every year but then again you saying that oh you’re at Las Vegas can’t you build something like the Miami Marlins dead and make the same mistake you’re not an engineer you’re not an architect so I don’t know why you care so much I mean many people Rory in Florida for the baseball winter classic are some people Rory there that week and they happen to be there I mean you don’t know every Pacific thing on when people are going on vacation I know what Tampa Bay has one of the World Series though and then Kansas City won the World Series the year before the Cubs did and the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 so you can always make more money hosting different events but if you’re saying a game at saying that Las Vegas can’t do that they’ve got other ways to make to be able to host events
I do agree with you on that sentiment. maybe Bally's is getting some sort of kickback from this from giving out free land. They drew a line in the sand with the 175million was off the table. Bally's is not going to help the A's, they are getting a raw deal
Of course!! Let's start off with the fact that with a winning ballclub, the casino is almost guaranteed to get 2 million people to walk through its doors every year...
Of course the casino would benefit. Being on the same location as the stadium many fans after a game may stop in to gamble or have drinks and a meal. I visited Pittsburg where there is a casino near the baseball park and there was a game the day I visited the casino. After the game was over the casino got a lot more busy. So any casino near the stadium will most likely benefit from games being played there.
Brody like I said you’re not a you’re not an architect you’re not an engineer yeah you sitting in there at your studio and saying mail that you can come up with something and have a design but can’t be cost-effective well of modern technology there’s a way to make it a way to make it work I mean the age could probably go to another siteIf that 9 acre site wouldn’t work no I’m not saying it again I’m not saying you can’t I’m just saying it could be a possibility but you saying that it can’t work you know what makes you so sure
Brodie, I really don't understand the direction that your channel has been moving toward with regards to the past few videos regarding Las Vegas. The way you present it, everything seems like doom and gloom and like the sky falling in Las Vegas. It's as if you are looking for even the slightest snippet of a quote and then blowing things completely out of proportion. Even when I point out that, from the beginning back in May, Dave Kaval gave a one-year timeline to refine the look of the ballpark in Vegas, you simply ignore that fact and stick to your talking points. While there is certainly a lot of emotion involved, I have a feeling that almost nobody who is watching these videos or being active in your comments section has any real control over what is happening. Personally, unless I hear something definitive from some entity that has any real sort of power (the A's, Nevada legislature, Clark County, Major League Baseball, Bally's, GLPI, any sort of court with power to stop the process, etc.), I am not going to go off the deep end over every random quote that is thrown out there. But I think you are still missing the big point. Your videos have become anti-Las Vegas, not pro-Oakland. Everything you talk about seems to be slanted as to why the A's plan to move to Vegas is doomed to fail. You don't seem to believe that the equity owners in the A's are doing what they believe is the smartest move for their asset. Brodie Brazil thinks he is smarter than everyone else. At the same time, you are not using your platform to explain why you think the A's moving to Howard Terminal would be so great. You have issues with how legislation was passed in Nevada, but no final deal was ever reached in Oakland, and there is no guarantee that any final deal in Oakland could ever pass confirmation votes in Oakland or Alameda County. You talk about bonds possibly being defaulted on in Clark County, but you don't talk about the resistance that infrastructure incremental funding would face by activists in Oakland. You talk about traffic at the intersection of Las Vegas Blvd & Tropicana Avenue, but you make no mention of how people are supposed to get to Howard Terminal without being confronted by violent criminals in Oakland. You talk about parking problems surrounding a ballpark on the Tropicana site, but you make no mention about where people would park at Howard Terminal or how the owners of those vehicles would be able to avoid having their cars broken into. You talk about tight timetables and having no margin for error in Vegas, but you don't talk about all of the red tape in the Bay Area and how construction delays and inflation are worse in the Bay Area. All you are doing is dumping on Las Vegas. But you are doing absolutely nothing to demonstrate why Howard Terminal would be a better option. The way you are presenting things, you are hoping that the Vegas plan fails. But since you are doing absolutely nothing to portray Oakland as a better option, all you are doing is opening up the possibility of the A's winding up in some area other than Las Vegas or the Bay Area. What is your purpose? Are you simply looking for video views and revenue from TH-cam? Are you trying to make yourself into some sort of Oakland folk hero who supposedly fought to the bitter end to keep the A's in town? Nothing you have been doing recently has been constructive at all. If you are as pro-Oakland as you portray yourself to be, then actually demonstrate how Howard Terminal would avoid all of the supposed problems you seem to see at the Tropicana site.
OMG enough of the editorial, the man is entitled to his own opinion. He is trying to be impartial, to this issue. And here you come with a full page ad in a news paper. The Guy is entitled to his own opinion.
@@ProAthl and your point 9 acres is small. But the point is that, what Brodie is trying to show is how hard and how difficult. This deal is going to be. obstacles delays cost overruns. When let's not forget about the possible memorandum by opponents, that feel very strongly that using public funds is a no no. Let's not forget the people in the desert town of Los Vegas are not really on board with this.at the end of the day Brodie is entitled to his own opinion And I feel he is impartial
@@ProAthlbro zennie is trash. He’s not even a native…. He’s mad the city didn’t use his self proclaimed skills to get the stadium done…. He gets chased outta town and spends his days on TH-cam crying…… I’ve seen his content it gets like 50 views haha.
@@ProAthl I am still standing by what I said. SB1 even though passed in the Nevada legislature does mean it will be challenged in Clark county. There are opponents opposed to SB1 being passed. And the people who apposed to SB1 have time to put it on the ballot in Clark county February of 2024. A memorandum
Ok, enough. Give it a rest. The constant whining is a bad look. You've presented some good info in the past, but the ceaseless whining is wearing thin. The commissioner might have chosen his words better, but the expressed sentiment was on target - the fans in Oakland just didn't come out on a consistent basis. All this thrashing around over how great the fans are in Oakland - malarkey. Oakland has been hemorrhaging attendance for decades. Contrast this to other teams around the league who pack it in even in years when they suck - when was the last time Wrigley was empty? Just let it go and move on.
Brody Brazil is reporting it the way he sees fit. A's are getting a raw deal out of this. Bally's casino is. Not going to help them. But then yet I digress, my suggestion to you is. If you don't like what you are hearing on this thread. Then take your ass somewhere else

@@togoandmoss there is no deep conversation coming from you or the 2 other grifters that run their mouths on every Oakland post
You get what you put out….
I’ve had plenty of intelligent conversations around this with folks who can have em. You and your butt buddies aren’t those folks.
Don’t worry tho maybe one day you’ll be witty enough to keep up. Prolly not, but maybe.
@@togoandmossAre you an A’s fan?
The A’s will never swing a bat in Vegas.
Why hasn’t the relocation vote happened yet? I thought the owners were meeting weeks ago
I dont think relocation application has been fully submitted
Great thing bud Selig is not the commissioner anymore. He probably would’ve had the rays and A’s contracted by now
Brodie, are you going to cover the MLB debt crunch from the COVID year at all? Or the RSN rebates teams owe? It explains all of the push for Vegas and expansion. Something's definitely up.
I have to ask- did you buy the same polo in 100 different colors?
lululemon has graciously sent me quite a few over the years. thanks for noticing to extreme detail.
Appreciate your work
More I listen to you, more I’m agreeing
Every day I hear these stories it makes me feel like Salt Lake City is going to swoop in at some point and take them.
MLB approval is the least of their worries. Stand by for the lawsuits and the voters referendum.
@@ProAthlWRONG!
A’s should scrap the retractable roof and go with a higher ceiling and all LED inside roof. Maybe the roof should be low profile like SoFi and have a sky casino on the edges of the roof where fans can watch the game while gambling.
Brodie can you do interview with Sheng Thao?
some good ones have been done, but i agree, maybe time for her next appearance.
Enterprise Nevada is only 3 miles from the airport Harry Reed international
Keep the faith
Yes
Snake in the grass
Well the reindeer the renderings might not mean much to you but I think they’re kind of cool to look out that way if another ball parks looking at to build a new stadium at least you got something to go off of I just think it renderings are fascinating to look at
LV gets things done!!
🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
I think they’ll figure it out in time
@@katemoo9581 I can’t wait until Fisher gets the real cost to build a bling stadium with a retractable roof😳
Brodie, I live in Vegas and have been watching your videos. I totally get it, you and thousands of loyal A's fans are in shock and denial about the A's departure. I truly respect the disappointment that you and the fans feel. IMHO, the A's and the City of Oakland should have been able to get Howard Terminal done. That said, you guys are at the mercy of a psychotic one-party state and a bankrupt city with a communist mayor. In Vegas, we get stuff done. I guarantee you that the A's new stadium will be a gorgeous, state-of-the-art facility...it's how Vegas rolls. 😉
Perfectly said.... #VegasStrong
They “roll” like toilet paper. With nothing but crap at the end!
What make you think that Vages is going to get this done? What make you think that this deal is so good for the A's and the people of Vegas which is sounding and looking more and more like a raw deal. At the end of the day you and those idiots at Bally's are going to kick that can down the road
@@805fillmore what you should be asking yourself.is why do you have so much hate for a City that has done nothing to you. I mean you phrased that question to me. Like a small child that can't play in the sand box with the other kids. But to answer your childish question, I got mad respect for Oakland. Oakland is the toughest city on the planet as far as I'm concerned. But then yet I digress let me ask you this question what city do you live in so we can compare and contrast which city sucks
A baseball stadium is not a toy know if you use it as an example something new something it stands out that’s one thing but it’s not a toy but they can they use that venue for more than just baseball football is more known in Florida than baseball football NASCAR are bigger than baseball I mean Wrigley Field is better than Mount Davis the Cubs have done more than four or five upgrades every year but then again you saying that oh you’re at Las Vegas can’t you build something like the Miami Marlins dead and make the same mistake you’re not an engineer you’re not an architect so I don’t know why you care so much I mean many people Rory in Florida for the baseball winter classic are some people Rory there that week and they happen to be there I mean you don’t know every Pacific thing on when people are going on vacation I know what Tampa Bay has one of the World Series though and then Kansas City won the World Series the year before the Cubs did and the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 so you can always make more money hosting different events but if you’re saying a game at saying that Las Vegas can’t do that they’ve got other ways to make to be able to host events
There is a video on TH-cam called Battle for Vegas.. explains why casino give free property. Casino definitely getting something out of this
I do agree with you on that sentiment. maybe Bally's is getting some sort of kickback from this from giving out free land. They drew a line in the sand with the 175million was off the table. Bally's is not going to help the A's, they are getting a raw deal
Of course!! Let's start off with the fact that with a winning ballclub, the casino is almost guaranteed to get 2 million people to walk through its doors every year...
Of course the casino would benefit. Being on the same location as the stadium many fans after a game may stop in to gamble or have drinks and a meal. I visited Pittsburg where there is a casino near the baseball park and there was a game the day I visited the casino. After the game was over the casino got a lot more busy. So any casino near the stadium will most likely benefit from games being played there.
Brody like I said you’re not a you’re not an architect you’re not an engineer yeah you sitting in there at your studio and saying mail that you can come up with something and have a design but can’t be cost-effective well of modern technology there’s a way to make it a way to make it work I mean the age could probably go to another siteIf that 9 acre site wouldn’t work no I’m not saying it again I’m not saying you can’t I’m just saying it could be a possibility but you saying that it can’t work you know what makes you so sure
Brodie, I really don't understand the direction that your channel has been moving toward with regards to the past few videos regarding Las Vegas. The way you present it, everything seems like doom and gloom and like the sky falling in Las Vegas. It's as if you are looking for even the slightest snippet of a quote and then blowing things completely out of proportion. Even when I point out that, from the beginning back in May, Dave Kaval gave a one-year timeline to refine the look of the ballpark in Vegas, you simply ignore that fact and stick to your talking points. While there is certainly a lot of emotion involved, I have a feeling that almost nobody who is watching these videos or being active in your comments section has any real control over what is happening. Personally, unless I hear something definitive from some entity that has any real sort of power (the A's, Nevada legislature, Clark County, Major League Baseball, Bally's, GLPI, any sort of court with power to stop the process, etc.), I am not going to go off the deep end over every random quote that is thrown out there.
But I think you are still missing the big point. Your videos have become anti-Las Vegas, not pro-Oakland. Everything you talk about seems to be slanted as to why the A's plan to move to Vegas is doomed to fail. You don't seem to believe that the equity owners in the A's are doing what they believe is the smartest move for their asset. Brodie Brazil thinks he is smarter than everyone else. At the same time, you are not using your platform to explain why you think the A's moving to Howard Terminal would be so great. You have issues with how legislation was passed in Nevada, but no final deal was ever reached in Oakland, and there is no guarantee that any final deal in Oakland could ever pass confirmation votes in Oakland or Alameda County. You talk about bonds possibly being defaulted on in Clark County, but you don't talk about the resistance that infrastructure incremental funding would face by activists in Oakland. You talk about traffic at the intersection of Las Vegas Blvd & Tropicana Avenue, but you make no mention of how people are supposed to get to Howard Terminal without being confronted by violent criminals in Oakland. You talk about parking problems surrounding a ballpark on the Tropicana site, but you make no mention about where people would park at Howard Terminal or how the owners of those vehicles would be able to avoid having their cars broken into. You talk about tight timetables and having no margin for error in Vegas, but you don't talk about all of the red tape in the Bay Area and how construction delays and inflation are worse in the Bay Area.
All you are doing is dumping on Las Vegas. But you are doing absolutely nothing to demonstrate why Howard Terminal would be a better option. The way you are presenting things, you are hoping that the Vegas plan fails. But since you are doing absolutely nothing to portray Oakland as a better option, all you are doing is opening up the possibility of the A's winding up in some area other than Las Vegas or the Bay Area. What is your purpose? Are you simply looking for video views and revenue from TH-cam? Are you trying to make yourself into some sort of Oakland folk hero who supposedly fought to the bitter end to keep the A's in town? Nothing you have been doing recently has been constructive at all. If you are as pro-Oakland as you portray yourself to be, then actually demonstrate how Howard Terminal would avoid all of the supposed problems you seem to see at the Tropicana site.
OMG enough of the editorial, the man is entitled to his own opinion. He is trying to be impartial, to this issue. And here you come with a full page ad in a news paper. The Guy is entitled to his own opinion.
@@ProAthl and your point 9 acres is small. But the point is that, what Brodie is trying to show is how hard and how difficult. This deal is going to be. obstacles delays cost overruns. When let's not forget about the possible memorandum by opponents, that feel very strongly that using public funds is a no no. Let's not forget the people in the desert town of Los Vegas are not really on board with this.at the end of the day Brodie is entitled to his own opinion
And I feel he is impartial
@@ProAthlbro zennie is trash. He’s not even a native…. He’s mad the city didn’t use his self proclaimed skills to get the stadium done…. He gets chased outta town and spends his days on TH-cam crying…… I’ve seen his content it gets like 50 views haha.
@@ProAthl I am still standing by what I said. SB1 even though passed in the Nevada legislature does mean it will be challenged in Clark county. There are opponents opposed to SB1 being passed. And the people who apposed to SB1 have time to put it on the ballot in Clark county February of 2024. A memorandum
@@ProAthl what ever you say. Because if this little group union decides to succeed in what they're trying to do don't cry about it
Ok, enough. Give it a rest. The constant whining is a bad look. You've presented some good info in the past, but the ceaseless whining is wearing thin. The commissioner might have chosen his words better, but the expressed sentiment was on target - the fans in Oakland just didn't come out on a consistent basis. All this thrashing around over how great the fans are in Oakland - malarkey. Oakland has been hemorrhaging attendance for decades. Contrast this to other teams around the league who pack it in even in years when they suck - when was the last time Wrigley was empty? Just let it go and move on.
nope, that aint it.
🤡
Well, if it’s a bad look, stop following and commenting. That should solve your problem.
we need to have someone keep track of what is becoming a mess . . Brodie's reports are objective and informative. Thunbs up !
Brody Brazil is reporting it the way he sees fit. A's are getting a raw deal out of this. Bally's casino is. Not going to help them. But then yet I digress, my suggestion to you is. If you don't like what you are hearing on this thread. Then take your ass somewhere else
Brodie, admire how you try to find any angle possible as a negative. One thing never to doubt when it comes to Vegas, they will get this done.
