Great early season weather and will draw from the Austin area. I'd love a team in Central Texas. Don't care if it's SA or Austin. I hate having to drive 3 hours just to see a MLB game.

To me, with the NFL and NHL already making the move, and with gambling advertisers taking over the MLB, Vegas is the move. No realignment needed. The Vegas people really seem to support the Knights. Tourism will carry the team. If the A's moved to Vegas, I would go to Vegas every year for the Sox series if the timing worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 115 degrees. But a dry heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I went was August. Got up to 118. Had to walk to the pool with sandals on. I’d imagine they’d have some sort of roof or temp control.

Middle Buffalo Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I went to an A’s game in Oakland a few years ago. I was surprised at how decent the stadium experience was. Clearly a football stadium masquerading as a baseball stadium, but overall not bad. Outside the stadium was abysmal. We came in from SF on the train, and it is barren. I’d like to see them stay, though. It’s a club with a good history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 At no time has Oakland deserved a team or stadium. A winning team in a new park could not draw a million fans. Vegas is a sucky alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
