Reverse Boycott-ish. Spending the day with the A's or B's or both?

Some called it another "reverse boycott" but really it was an excuse to get together and watch Oakland Athletics baseball without feeling guilty about it. Some people came as far as Canada to join in on the fun.
It started at Line 51 in Oakland, then hit the Oakland Coliseum parking lot. Some chose to go inside the Coliseum, others chose to head to Raimondi Park to see the Oakland Ballers.
I chose to do all of the above! Here's a recap of some of my coverage from that day.

SABOTAGE? A Message for Las Vegas A's Fans

The Oakland Athletics bumpy, winding, desert road to Las Vegas has been filled with crater-sized potholes. The latest obstacle seems to have raised some awareness as to how the A's ownership group has been operating all along. It started with a discovery by Jeremy Koo, who reached out to the Nevada Independent, who reached out to the power players in the Stadium Authority. thenevadaindependent....

All of my live coverage from Oakland Ballers Opening Day at Raimondi Park. The Ballers raced to convert an unplayable field even for little league standards into a Pioneer League Baseball stadium that holds 4,100 fans. The Home Opener was sold out despite the Oakland A's also playing a game across town and the vibes were immaculate. I caught up with Ballers Bench Coach JT Snow, Ballers Pitcher ...

A's Artificial Sacramento "Upgrade"

Переглядів 10 тис.7 місяців тому

The Oakland Athletics will be moving to Sacramento next season. Their temporary home at Sutter Health Park will need some upgrades to make it Major League Baseball ready. But one "upgrade" in particular caught my attention... In order to accommodate both the Sacramento River Cats and the A's full schedules, they will need to put in artificial turf... which is a significant downgrade from natura...

Big news! Oakland set to SELL their half of Coliseum

Переглядів 4,9 тис.7 місяців тому

I'm hearing the City of Oakland has agreed to sell their half of the Coliseum property to AASEG for $105M (potentially more with development deal). This will be a huge boost to Oakland’s future budget, which helps keep fire stations open, police funded and City jobs intact. There will be a 3pm presser later today with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and AASEG. The A’s just completed their final paymen...

A's Pay Up! Final Payment Made For County's Half of Oakland Coliseum

Переглядів 6 тис.7 місяців тому

The Oakland Athletics days may be numbers at the Coliseum, but they just completed their final payment for their half of the property. Back in 2019, the A's agreed to pay Alameda County $85M for their half of the Coliseum. That amount was due within 180 days of announcing relocation. After the County smartly called their bluff, the A's full lump sum payment of $26.5M was due on May 14. I have b...

Back in 2022, The San Francisco Bay Conservation & Development Commission voted to approve the removal of Port Priority Use from Howard Terminal to help clear the way for the potential Oakland Athletics ballpark and housing plans. At the time, it was a huge win for the A's stadium hopes. The 23-2 BCDC vote resulted in a lawsuit which challenged the decision. With the primary applicant in the la...

Schools over Stadiums was rejected by the Nevada Supreme Court. They won't be able to start collecting signatures to get a referendum on the 2024 ballot to overturn SB1, which gives $380M to the A's stadium effort in Las Vegas. If they won, they would have had just over 40 days to collect over 100,000 signatures... But their fight apparently isn't over. Despite the recent loss in court, they vo...
