Memories

OMG I could only take about 15 minutes before I had to turn it off or throw something at my tv. I can't believe the amount of BS being thrown in that room.

This stadium is going to cost 2 billion + mark my words

It is clear from a pure market perspective that the A's should have stayed in the Bay and this guy needs to be forced to sell by the League Owner's.

Spend money 💰 on current roster young players little bit of security pay raise

Las Vegas Athletics??? Are you serious??? Let the taxpayers decide!!!

Commitment = Escrow. Right now Fisher has $0.00 in the escrow account.

You guys are so funny case it seems to me that your hate jonh fisher and don't want him to succeed your are just hating and it is so sad that this is the world we live in

Don't stop making videos! It's over but it would be nice to see some part of the Oakland fanbase live on and follow the team through to Las Vegas. I do understand it must be difficult. good luck to both of you guys!

Please keep doing these Pod Casts at least until their is no turning back. Even when ground is broken I can see John Fisher getting tired of funding and asks for more public asstistance or help from MLB. Please keep following and reporting.

Alex and Hot Dog Hal check it out Fisher was $36 million short of making Howard Terminal a reality and fled for Las Vegas now he couldn't find partners or investors for the Tropicana ballpark had to go hat in hand to his family to ask for $1.5 billion and moves to the smallest TV market in MLB and is depending on sell outs. He would have been better off bridging that $36 million gap with Oakland and staying in the fifth largest market. Something says he was bought off by MLB waving the relocation money and a maybe a backroom deal to move to Vegas. No matter this will fall apart in the long run. Alex don't quit the Rickey Report just yet. That interview you just had with Neil was very informative stuff that you don't get in the local papers.

What we know about John Fisher is that he does not keep his word and a proven failure of getting major projects over the finish line. The Quakes deal in SJ was Wolff not Fisher.

Vital Vegas doesn't know sheet about sports. Everything he has said about A's for the last 2 years has been proven false. So, why do you still use him?

Thanks for Erceg, from a KC fan!

For what it's worth I believe West Sacramento Athletics merchandise would sell like hotcakes because of the small town vibes and being a totally unique brand same with Green Bay Packers

I can’t believe what I heard the West Sacramento mayor actually thinks the A’s should drop the Vegas deal, that they are already heavily involved in, for Sacramento. Newsflash Las Vegas has a population of 2.9 million living here, not to mention all the numerous tourists that visit Sin City regularly, meanwhile Sacramento has a population under 500,000 according to Ricky ( I didn’t even look up) Sac’s population, but I’m sorry but that’s incredibly stupid for anyone to suggest.

We gotta stop bullshittin with these peewee league teams in the town and get minor league hockey at Oakland arena. Like they got in San Diego with San Diego gulls. Nobody in the world knows about Roots or Soul soccer or B baseball. Wake up

Sutter Health Park is less than a quarter of a mile from the Sacramento City Limits. Are the River Cats called the WEST Sacramento River Cats? The 49ers play 3 counties away from San Francisco, The NY Jets and Giants play in another state, no big deal. Most people here don't care if Sacramento is included in their branding, at this point we realize that we are a intended as a transitional location. The A's have copyrighted Sacramento A's and Athletics in case the situation changes. Local businesses have already started selling apparel with associating Sacramento with the A's.

Sac Republic are actually "Rooted in Sacramento" lol. Athletics are not

RickeyBlog!!!

Thanks for updates alex

I rather have the ballers build at Howard Terminal as well. Oakland is a baseball town.

With Sheng Thao out, let’s find a new Mayor that will fix and help the Town bounce back!

Can’t wait for the Roots! Roots Bloody Roots!

If I were a team owner I would definitely move my team to Oakland where the fans can decide if I am worthy of keeping my team or management.

LOYAL TO THE SOIL. OAKLAND ONLY...........A's Now Are In West SCAB"CRAP''MENTAL

stÀy

No longer a fan of the A’s as long as Fisher proceeds with the move. But I’m all there for bad news to hate on A’s ownership 🤣

And you don’t blame the giants from you guys from going to San Jose

SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL.

those sliders were hanging

As someone who only goes to Vegas for business conventions (mainly at the MGM Grand which is directly across from each other on Tropicana), that area will be an absolute traffic nightmare. IDC what anyone says. And I guess they aren't aware that locals for the most part stay away from the strip unless they work there, so to project that 80% of foot traffic will be from locals is hilarious. They only have concepts of a plan...

Bally's has resources from the acquisition by hedge fund Standard General. During Wednesday’s third-quarter earnings call, Robeson Reeves, the company’s chief executive officer, said that the goal is to open at least a portion of a Bally’s casino by the time the Athletics baseball team begins playing in Las Vegas. “Significant planning efforts are underway, which will put Bally’s in a position to begin our own development efforts concurrently with the A’s stadium construction efforts,” Reeves said. “Given our planning and preparation, our current pursuit is to have initial portions of the casino, hotel and retail offerings ready to go once the A’s begin playing in their new stadium in 2028.” Reeves’ statement to investors Wednesday reiterates what Bally’s Corp. Chairman Soo Kim told the Review-Journal last month after initial renderings of the proposed project were released. Kim said the plan, as of now, is to build out in phases, with the first phase including a gaming component.

While Sacramento isn't quite the city of CHAMPIONS what I think is Sacramento baseball is a winner for MLB and sac city Hall and most importantly the people and baseball fans and children of all ages in NORCAL

I wanna point out yet again that MLB simply needed to place THA Oakland Athletics in the National League West and they become wildly successful franchise OVERNIGHT

Thanks again for y'alls excellent reporting

The Sphere cost $2B to build, and this thing is *much* bigger and more complex. There is no way this design can be built as shown in anywhere close to a budget the Fishers can afford.

The Tropicana Site may be the worst location for a ballpark - The addition of a ballpark could be a huge boost to a city and a district - this process surrounding the A's just feels like a train wreck.

I want you folks to keep in mind the Howard Terminal site in Oakland was going to be a $12 BILLION development but there having issues coming up with only a billion for Vegas. John Fischer is an absolute JACKASS!!

Hey, thanks, Alex! I usually trust what I see rather than what I hear. At the moment, those individuals are all talk and no action. I anticipate this will continue for at least another year or so.

thank you Alex!

Scott is amazing!!!

There can be a new resort without a ballpark.

some seem to think they won't go to vegas at all and build in sacramento.

Just curious....are you based out of the Bay Area?

I miss him

Professional, ie Corporate sports are never loyal to their fans. Another city has two nickels more, they will leave. Ask us Sonics fans.

After that presentation it's clear the A's are about to throw away $1.5 billion on a big mistake moving to the smallest market in MLB, Fisher is still trying to get the money together for his share of the construction costs, and betting on sell outs for every game for 30 years will drive them into bankruptcy in the first two years. Bottom line they should have listened to the Mayor of Las Vegas and should have stayed in Oakland.

26:17 you got some creepy looking bug in the background there. 😂
