Rookie minimum will be 760k next year. Wouldn’t care where we played.

It’s better than what they have now at Oakland Coliseum: 5k attendance with 55k empty seats. And the 5k fans that are there boo the team/owner.

The A’s were right to follow every other sports team and bail on the city of Oakland. Calling it a third world shithole would be an insult to third world shitholes.

If this didn't happen I would've never known West Sacramento was different from Sacramento.

California is an awful place. Beautiful state, but ruined by liberals and their policies.

I’d rather play for a loud packed 14k stadium vs 3k in a 50k stadium

It's funny how they promoted that phony "Rooted In Oakland" bullshite all over the stadium after the Raiders left. When all that time it was nothing but a big lie.

Not worth it...inflation is insane (thanks Joe), cost of living is insane for what you get.

Its why Californians are flocking to Nevada right over the State line, Nashville and Austin.

But Oakland hasn't been liveable quite some time. Al Davis fought for 30 years to be anywhere but Oakland. Even fleeing Oakland for a rundown LA Coliseum.with a track around the field in the heart of Crips and Bloods country. Oakland was the headquarters of the Hell's Angels in the 70s and every hardcore drug user...and the beginning of the homeless epidemic under Carter. Now Oakland is Somalia...most income comes from crime...

Oakland rarely exceeded 14,000 in attendance the last few years. Also they are not the first team to do it. The Blue Jays played at their AAA stadium in Buffalo in 2020 and 2021 due to Canada’s excessive covid restrictions.

It gets even worse.

John Fisher calls Sutter Health Park "the most intimate park in Major League Baseball". He says he can't wait to watch the MLB's top stars like Aaron Judge hit home runs here.
