John Fisher is going to screw Las Vegas. Mark my words.
Y’all said the same thing about Mark Davis 😂
Mark my words he 1000% won’t, that is a promise.
If you actually chose to educate and familiarize yourself with the details of this relocation, you would know there’s no way Fisher will screw Vegas, assuming if he really wants to build here.
@@seanmiles6991 it’s more about investing in players. He has never shown any interest in investing in a winning team. No clue why anyone would think he’s going to change now.
@@ChrisSportsGamer208well he did bring the worst fan base in the nfl to the strip.
Wow a guys get to do whatever he wants with something he purchased
I bet everyone tells you what to do with everything you bought
Add the Sydney opera house as another distinctive landmark to the Vegas skyline.
My first impression too.
😂😂😂
Indeed. Very derivative. And how is it possible in such an energy intensive, and sunny, city as Las Vegas that those roof sails are not completely covered in solar panels? Huge missed opportunity and hugely irresponsible.
@@ericvanvlandren8987 I think they are, Each sail is facing the direction of the sun without casting a shade on each other for most of the day
I did not see that in any of the renderings but if what you say is true that is certainly reassuring. Thanks for letting me know.
Its actually not a done deal yet at all.....A's ownership does not have a billion dollar investor yet, and we all know Fischer ain't ever going to put that money up himself, stay tuned......
Billion dollar investor?
You seriously need to understand what you’re talking about, if you truly think John Fisher needs a billion dollar investor.
Think about what you’re saying.
@@seanmiles6991 you obviously haven't been paying attention to how bad the GAPs finances are....
They just need a bank or private investor to loan the A's 300 million. Stadium authority is saying that the owner has the collateral to cover it. So they might get the green light even if they are still looking for that investor
@@KWallyMLB and GLPI just completed a second Audit of Fisher’s finances, you need to come up with a new conspiracy theory.
@@seanmiles6991You don’t know John Fisher-he’s CHEAP. This is what ruined the Oakland deal. He wants a big investor.
Go back to the Bay Area A's dont go to las vegas
Bay area stinks and trashed
Bay Area is trash 🚮 they are rumors they will stay in Sacramento 😊
@@thewestcoastpop847 you stink and your garbage
@@thewestcoastpop847 Where did you learn that? From your local news channel? 😅. SF and Oakland have their own issues. Doesn't mean the rest of it is trash. As they say, common sense isn't so common anymore I guess.
@@thewestcoastpop847 Yeah, the A's could be considered asylum seekers lol
If the stadium looks like this… Good Luck Financially Vegas Citizens! This will take a bite out of your money, just for a team that struggles to even get .500 every season.
A fixed roof instead of a retractable roof will save a huge amount of money
If the stadium isn't going to be ready for three years, why leave Oakland?
Ask Mayor Thaio - she asked for 97 million dollars in rent to stick it to the A’s.
Getting a baseball team in a State that still reads temps in the 100s in October yeah cool idea.
Sports in Las Vegas is lame
Golden Knights say hi.
That's the ugliest ballpark ever. Do you have no shame?
That huge jumbo tron is going to get really old really fast...such an eyesore that will irritate the view of the fans.
What a pipedream...we Nevada's shouldn't give a penny to this owner.
I know you guys saw all of the brokenhearted Oakland A's fans in the Coliseum that final game. The sad part though is John Fisher had the money to complete the project at Howard Terminal. Oakland & Fisher were only $80 million dollars apart. He dealt with the city in bad faith and ripped a beloved team out of it's community. We loved that team. Be mindful of what you are trying to "inherit".
nobody gives a shit
You loved the team? I'm a Oakland A's we did not support the team.i saw many times we were in first place and draw less then 10,000 fans on Monday -Tuesday night games ,we had to have 2 dollar Wednesday games,saying we supported this team is a joke
Las Vegas made the Allegiant stadium the highest grossest stadium in the U.S. our city will definitely take care of franchise better than it was treated in Oakland
@@smokey5100 Democrat Party of Oakland Destroyed Oakland. John Fisher was not going to pay $14 billion for Howard Terminal. Oct Nov of 2022 Oakland requested funds from Build Back Better and Biden Administration said No lol Oakland voted 87% Democrat. 92% for Biden. No way Cheap guy John Fisher going to pay $14 to $16 billion for Howard Terminal. Oakland Tax Payer would have been stuck with the bill. Oakland Defund The Police for Ambassador program 😆 . If anything Fisher Saved billions of dollars of being wasted. Also dirty little secret Gov Newsom & Mayor Sheng Thao could not guarantee a shutdown of California if another Plandemic happens. Nevada won't shutdown if a Plandemic happens again. The A's would have ended as a franchise and folded. Fisher would have look like a idiot. Oakland voted for losing their teams.
@@Meinan4370 Catering to tourism, watering down the fan base, jacking up ticket prices is NOT taking care of this team!! Wake up
The A's will NEVER belong to Vegas. All the money in the world will never replace the Oakland fan base
Thank you!
Y'all say that, and then The energy comes and it changes! 😂
@@DefensisIndus what energy? Like the Raider games
@@SKYWALKERDFS Whoops Sorry! I meant * Athletes * Will enjoy the Energy 😂
True! Oakland Ballers are struggling with attendance now in a 4,200 seat ballpark.
With the open concept it looks like you can have a good vantage point and then see in the stadium for free to watch the game. Yes it does seem odd that it looks like the Sydney opera House
Build a new Tropicana!
@@davemazza791 tropicana field 🫨
@@vinesco5270 Tropicana Field had its roof torn off because of the hurricane, the same day Tropicana Hotel was imploded. Bad day for Tropicana
StAy 💛 in 💚 OAKLAND!!!
It’s cute that they rendered a sellout.
Las Vegas home of the nomadic clubs.
Should just call it Oakland-South.
the cheapest owner in professional sports is not going to make this pipe dream. it'l be his sixth stadium failure.
Soon no more water 😂😂
This was my first time hearing "Las Vegas A's." I guess I'm behind the times, because it doesn't sound as good to me as "Oakland A's" did.
Did the A's ever ask the citizens of Las Vegas if they wanted the baseball team? Im just wondering.
In 2016 Survey Only 6% wanted Hockey in Vegas. Two baseball polls 28% Low & 52% High want baseball in Vegas. 28% of 3.2 Million that's 900,000 people in Greater Las Vegas want the A's. Oakland population Is only 450,000 and only 1.6 million population reach. The A's will sellout every night and you add 50 million tourists.
@@RevolutionTruth 😅
@RevolutionTruth they will not sellout every night. The reason the golden knights worked is they were orignal and brought our city together. Raiders came in just saying scoot over fuckers
@@supremeb3563 every time we get something new they never ask residents if they want a new stadium, hotel, casino, etc. We just have to deal with it cause that’s how it is. Vegas always has something new. I’ve lived here for over 23 years and I don’t remember a time where Clark County ever made the people decide if we want any changes. But I do feel like there needs to be some changes when it comes to traffic and construction over at downtown Las Vegas cause it’s starting to effect the whole city
@@RevolutionTruthexactly. People kept saying the traffic was going to be a nightmare. Traffic is literally the same 😂
Who is going to go to a baseball game while in Vegas NFL yes basketball yes hockey yes but baseball good luck 😂😂
The big screen will only be viewable from the right side of the stadium.
THAT STADIUM SITS ON FAR MORE THAN 9 ACRES.
Hideous domed stadium
A baseball stadium on the Strip doesn't fit in. They should build a Stadium on some other parts of town
They want it right In Vegas to attract tourist and it will help businesses around the area even more
1:20 "... so there is no direct sunlight, only natural light..." Ummm... what??" Does that guy not understand that sunlight IS natural light?
Baseball does not need "technology." It's needs grass, some dirt, hot dogs, soda and beer. This beast is not a Baseball stadium. It's a Jetson's playhouse.
Not even 35,000 seats? 🤔🤔🤔
You can tell the cheapness of the owner it's gona follow the A's all the way to Las Vegas. It's a joke.
1:15 imagine they hit a home run and hit the Statue of Liberty lol 😆
this stadium is a joke, nothing "baseball" about this crap
@ Vegas...........Becareful what you wish for, you're dealing with John Fisher
Oakland you voted for Democrat Mayor Sheng Thao who won Oakland by 680 votes. Vegas A's will rock Sactown. Oakland you lost Everything for Being Woke. You lost Walmart Target Dennys Starbucks in and out Burger Taco Bell, 3000 Small businesses left Oakland. Oakland defunded the police for George Floyd. Justice for Jasper Wu in Oakland BTW. John Fisher saved Oakland Tax Payer $14 to $16 Billion for Howard Terminal Stadium. Vegas Stadium only $1.5 Billion. Oakland gave Vegas A Playoff team.
Both city leaders of Oakland is also responsible for As leaving
Only 33,000 capacity? How's that gonna pay for the crazy air conditioning bill?
Tickets are $900
Exactly, joke of a stadium/owner
As an A’s fan I think the stadium is ugly for a baseball stadium. They need to make a more modern stadium that is not so high techy because we are not good and we have no fans in
Las Vegas.
Tropicana hotel is needed more than a baseball stadium😢
How will the glass hold up during high winds?
I was wondering about the earthquake concerns in Las Vegas.
The Oakland A’s contrary to some on here, are ranked last, 30th place out of 30 teams for profitability, revenue and valuation
120 degree weather (and not much cooler at night) isn't going to be helped by "shade" from an open roof.
It’s an air conditioned dome … you don’t follow this topic do you?
Stay in Oakland A s And raiders leave Vegas
Nah lmao, nobody wants to stay in your dump anymore
I really hope this does blow up in Fisher's face. As cool as the stadium looks, for the long term... theres no upgrades you could do really. When Miller Park was made in 2001, it has tons of upgrade opportunities, and still does. What do you upgrade in 5 years here? Plus, money... its all about money, which is a big problem for a stadium this expensive
Don’t count on this thing ever being built!
Is it possible none of this works out? Where would the A's go then. I read something about Utah. Also whats to stop a team name change?
If it doesn’t work out they will start putting the Tropicana Casino back together… they saved all the parts 😂😂😂
@@togoandmoss LoL that would be crazy!
@togoandmoss there's going to be a sports team stadium no matter what. Whether it's the A's or not it's the real question
@@carlovesfam6069 it is contractually binding to the A’s. Final agreements will be introduced on Thursday of this coming week. The drone show during the implosion that displayed the A’s logo was not an accident.
@togoandmoss I'm an A's fan and I work right across Tropicana. Buddy I won't believe any of this until I see the first shovel down on the ground by greedy Fisher.
Ask yourselves this Las Vegas, how many stadium renderings has the Oakland A’s put out since John Fisher became majority owner of that team? Then ask yourself how many times did any of them get built? Then ask yourselves how many times did a man worth over 6 billion dollars want to provide any of his own money towards the stadium?
See the pattern here? There’s a reason why that man is the worst owner in professional sports and the ultimate cheapskate. We, as Las Vegas residents, Do Not need that man taking his team here and taking money away from public education. Not by any means at all.
And to answer the questions he and the A’s have had at least 5 stadium renderings and proposals in and around the Bay Area with him putting ZERO dollars towards any of it, instead relying on local tax payers to foot the bill for a billionaires team. And none of his renderings weren’t anything but a pipe dream on a piece of paper. Don’t let that man sell you on moving his team to our city. We’re also the 40th largest media market in the country, and with regional sports TV contracts dissolving by the day across the country, I honestly don’t see this happening at all. MLB would be better off taking ownership of this team and moving them to Montreal or Nashville and be done with John Fisher for good.
Stfu cheap bastard. You pay taxes for more useless things and you don't realize
Why not have MLB take the team over and stay in Oakland until they find an owner willing to keep the team there? The A’s & Comcast still have a TV deal.
Aren’t there several locations for a new stadium that the current owner has rejected or let lapse?
The Vegas deal has not been finalized yet. U never know if this new stadium will be built or not.
That proposed stadium is BEYOND ridiculous. Just build a nice smaller ballpark modeled after Minute Maid in Houston,
Am I the only one thinking they should rename the team from "A's" to "Ace's"?
Pretty embarrassing for some vital influencers in Vegas who said for 2 years it would never be done.
Vital Vegas is to stadium deals what Chris Christie is to the 10,000 meter steeplechase.
Hahah, you think this video means it’s a done deal. Fisher doesn’t have the money for this, not even close.
@@sweepingdenver Yah right. They went all this way to blow up a profitable resort for nothing. Sure. Believe what you want but the Easter Bunny is not leaving you a dyed egg either.
@@mikelfrance-l6x Bally’s was always going to modernize the Tropicana property, with or without Fisher. It was one of the oldest hotels on the strip. There is absolutely no way the pictured design can be built in Fisher’s paltry budget of $1.5B. The Sphere is much simpler and smaller and was $2B. I’m not saying a stadium won’t be built there, but something’s gotta give. Either the design won’t look anything like this, or he’s going to have to sell a large chunk of ownership. No one is going to hand him hundreds of millions if not > $1B without getting a piece of the pie.
@@sweepingdenver Ummm. No. Bally's hasn't even figured out what they want to build there while the A's have been submitting plans to the county and signing up sub contractors for months. But Vital will give you free Kookaid to drink.
Stoked to see baseball in Vegas!
Hope the Athletics stay in Sacramento but return to Oakland with a new owner.
I hope the moon is really made of cheese and it starts raining crackers!
To avoid the sun being directly in the eyes of the batter, all major league stadiums are designed so the home plate faces North or Northeast. So, the position of Oakland's new stadium may change.
From a financial and business point of view, can you make money with only 33,000 seats???
Apples and oranges, but Fenway Park has under 40,000 seats, and the Red Sox do fine.
It means it has to be a sellout every night!
The two other stadiums in Las Vegas are among the most profitable in the world with Allegiant Stadium being number one. So it kind of think so.
So they are going to bring the worst baseball team to town for what? So the city can raise property taxes to compensate the loss of money the team brings in?
Whats the view going to look like when they build the new casino on the rest of the 36 acres? The A’s only get 9 acres for the park. No 2 acre plaza
Right in time with the Brightline West train. 💛💚
I got to stay at the Topicana in 2008 during my first trip to Las Vegas for the NASCAR CUP Series race and even got to attend a showing of the Comedy Stop.
Mets and Yankees will feel at home. Bizarre to have the NY skyline the backdrop. Imagine A's/Mets World Series with a giant structure honoring the road team's city.
The A's are never moving to Las Vegas. At least under current ownership...
Pretty sad that it won’t be officially open until 2028. It better be worth losing the Tropicana. We have to wait 5 years for construction to be fully completed I’m disappointed
It’s not official now the A’s ownership still has signed off and even met the demand on their side.
Mmm. Do you know basic math buddy? It's 3 years and change. Not 5. 🤔
Tropicana was a shid pile
The excalibur is a real eyesore needed to get the same!
Nice that home plate faces the setting sun
That stadium is like.. the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. It dosent fit in the strip at all. 😭
Funny how there is no new hotel or casino concept. I heard the stadium will be in the old employee lot. I used to work there. Im not convinced there will be a strip view. Unless they keep the hotel low in front of the stadium.
Teams who relocate shouldn't be allowed to take the team's brand. If Fisher wants to move the A's, he should have to come up with a whole new name, color, and trademarked IP
I know everyone has the right to their own opinion, but to me it’s dumb to think Fisher shouldn’t have the right to obtain the franchise name, record, colors, and history that he spent his own millions to buy.
@@seanmiles6991 and I agree with you from a technical pov but the whole ethos of professional sports teams is to represent the city/state/region the team associates with. I can't find one team who doesn't include that aspect in their name. Often times, these teams accept public funds or private investment from local organizations. I get that an owner(s) might want to move to another city but it's unfathomable to me that they keep the same brand that is already embedded in a community they are stripping it from - insult to injury. I'm also surprised that the receiving city hasn't rejected the idea of just swapping in their city name for the last one (wouldn't you want your own city's brand instead of something relevant to the another place ? e.g. the Utah Jazz, Lakers, etc)
- also, maybe local govt should acquire those IP rights instead of subsidizing the owner's pipedream stadium plans. If Fisher gets any money from NV, it should come with IP rights (just my 2 cents)
I read the headline and I was like “What do the Oakland A’s have to do with Tropicana Field?” lmao. I guess you could say two Tropicanas have been destroyed. And speaking of that, the Rays should move to Oakland until their stadium is built lol. No point in repairing that dump. Move to a nicer dump.
So Oakland A’s to Oakland Rays I mean hey it rhymes 😂
Why not change the name?
For real change there name
Ever heard of the Kansas City A's?
@@Nick-lz8ff Ever heard of the Montreal Expos? >> Washington Nationals
The St. Louis Browns >> Baltimore Orioles
Seattle Pilots >> Milwaukee Brewers
Washington Senators >> Texas Rangers
Washington Senators >> Minnesota Twins
Baltimore Orioles >> New York Highlanders >> New York Yankees
Why should they
@@vinesco5270 why?
What genius thought it would be a good idea to hit into the sun? The batters will be blinded by the setting sun. There is a reason why center field has something called the batters eye, which is also non existent in the rendering. Par for the course.
Monorail extending to this and allegiant and airport right??
Hopefully vegas gets a mls team
Back to Oakland 💚💛
Gross. More cartoon buildings
Where is this money coming from this look like a billion dollar stadium
Tig o’s
Some time ago when the discussion was on Brodie's and other Oakland based sites, any Las Vegas contributors were referred to as trolls and told we were not welcome. Well the situation has changed. You people still have a video from your Fox 2 you can comment on which currently has all of 2 comments, but this site is Vegas based and I know I speak for others when I say you from NorCal are not welcome to infest our Vegas sites with your anger and bitterness.
Money talks and men will say how extravagant is the structure?. It looks good 😊.
The Tropicana was getting demolished anyway. This is not for the John Fisher.
I know, it’s just a coincidence that they put the A’s logo in the drone show! Do you eat paint chips?
Inspired by pennants yeah right id say they took the design from Sydney opera house
I need to live so long
You all think the cheapeest owner in pro sports is going to fund this pipe dream with his own money? You don't know John Fisher.
They’ll end up in Portland
Of course they will! 😂😂😂
Let’s hope Vegas wants the A’s cause Oakland sure as hell doesn’t want them back now
City leaders are as much as responsible as Owners
More traffic.
Move to Oakland! Only a few stolen cars occupy the streets!
It’s a John 💩fisher scam guaranteed
John Fisher and Oakland both are responsible
This is very very cool. If it's built? Vegas has become a city of the future, out of the ashes of 50's retro rat pack casino style....
That anchor is fine
Las Vegas is a growing city and needs a sports team. But at the end of the day it won’t have real culture, I mean it’s a transplant city. This really shows the state of our country, and how cities with no real identity takes others and market them as an attraction. I mean congrats I guess, but Vegas sadly is just a hot mess of a commercial urban hell, who’s never really found a moral identity, and is a shit stain to sports fans. I’m disappointed, even as a local from Las Vegas, that we’ll never be a real city…
True we don’t have a fentanyl island or an abandoned business sector like the Bay Area but we have 44,000,000 visitors a year and growing.
@@togoandmoss Las Vegas isn’t even that larger compared to the Bay Area? Doesn’t have real culture like New York or Boston, and is one massive tourist trap
@@WilenTseng it will have every professional sport soon. If you aren’t a fan then don’t come … we are ok with 43,999,999 visitors this year. 😂😂😂
@@togoandmoss keep dreaming. Just understand you live in a staged city, with no form of a identity, doesn’t even have a proper skyline, and is in a desert.
@@togoandmoss Las Vegas is tiny, and doesn’t even has as many tourists as a small city like Naples 🤣, has one of the lowest GDPs in the US by metro size, (it’s a small city to begin with, only 2 million people!! 🤣) and will never have an NBA team or transit system
I think the batters will have a hard time seeing the pitch with that background, just like in Seattle.
That view of the skyline assumes there isn’t a big hotel right in the way. Last they described it, the site was in the southeast corner of the lot. So pretty much impossible there’s nothing in the way, if they hold to that location.
Exactly, Bally's is going to build a resort on the rest of the land, which is why they're already impatient with Fisher. These are just concepts, no actual plans have been approved yet.
Now we just need MLS, NBA is going to happen
Who gaf
John Fisher is a trash owner. It's insulting to the Oakland A's. They shouldn't be called the A's anymore and Vegas should not be green and yellow.
They are green and gold
The Oakland A's are NOT coming to Las Vegas! That background music sounds stupid, btw.
There coming

The news is unfortunately true.
@@andrebailey6676 "There" are 😂😂?

IMplosion?! But i thought you said...
Insaneeee 🤩🤩🤩
I am thankful the A’s are finally leaving Oakland, they deserve a better fan base and better environment to play, vs the gang infested slums of Oakland
From oakland...i appreciate all the posts about fisher not having the money to build...or move the team...
But as soon as the tropicana went down...there will be no stopping the move...
And all this wouldn't ne done...unless the money is out there somewhere...
Sad...but true...on the bright side...like the raiders...and warriors...if ever a team deserved new digs...its the a's...
Oakland has way too many problems to get stuff like that built...not with that murder rate...homelessness...bad schools, etc...
I want to thank Republican Gov. Lombardo, Reasonable Democrats & Republicans State Legislatures & Unions vouched & who voted yes. Oakland thank you for giving a Playoff team to Vegas for Social Justice Politics. No more Moneyball. It's VEGAS BALL!
Good riddance Oakland, you deserve better. Your fan base in a Oakland was only a trickle when it takes a river of high priced ticket sales to cover all the costs of running the stadium and paying to hire and keep quality and skilled players, coaches, and staff
The A's name and properties should remain in Oakland. Get a new team name and re-brand.
The renderings are completely useless. It takes up the entire 35 acres instead of the 9 it’s allocated. They don’t even know what they’re building yet.
Hi😊
Its roof not ruuffffg
A lot of bitter Oaklanders in the comments. Your city government is at least somewhat to blame… they’ve lost you 3 teams in less than a decade. 🤷🏼♂️
