Report: A\'s Ask To Play Some Home Games Away From Las Vegas 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 5, 2024 12:34 pm

The Athletics haven\'t left Oakland for Las Vegas yet but they are already looking to play some home games in other markets.

According to the A\'s proposed 30-year non-relocation agreement, obtained by the Nevada Independent, the team is \"requesting to play up to eight home games a season away from the team\'s future $1.5 billion Las Vegas ballpark.\" 

The Las Vegas Stadium Authority board is slated to vote on the arrangement on July 18. 

The A\'s will call Sacramento home for three seasons before moving to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.

Athletics president Dave Kaval claims that the team wants to play neutral site home games in order to build the franchise\'s brand and to attract players and sponsors.

What fresh hell is this? Vegas should save themselves the headache and tell the A's ownership to kick rocks. If the Royals end up by not getting a new stadium, the city of second chances should come calling.
