Oakland A’s to consider relocation possibilities (Vegas) if city doesn’t approve new Howard Terminal stadium plans

That would be rough after losing the Raiders and (kind of) the Warriors

Does Salt Lake have the size to support a MLB team?

Maybe if MLB expands to 36 or 38 teams they’ll start being considered.

SLC Combined MSA is 22nd, 3 bigger w/o team; 4 smaller w/teams

SLC MSA is more like 47

I don't blame them, especially of the city doesn't approve the waterfront

A's are asking for a big sum of public money. Its not just a matter of approval

They are paying for the stadium 100%. They are asking for infrastructure money from the city

TCuz

was Oakland planning on spending a billion dollars for that infrastructure if

Probably not. It would be an infrastructure project for sure. But there’s a huge difference

TCuz

5/11/21 5:08pm

it is a difference, but if the request is for a billion dollars to develop

cwilke1

Sure. And reasonable then for the franchise to leave the city.

Wouldn't you need a covered stadium in Vegas, those Sunday afternoon games

Dbacks have been doing it for years with a retractable roof. I’m guessing if

I agree that this sounds like pressuring Oakland to approve the plans. Of course

5/11/21 12:45pm

Seattle doesn't have a basketball team, not unprecedented at all
