If there was any truth to this, the A’s could point to specific aspects of the Oakland “political process” that stopped their plans. They haven’t. The only thing missing, apparently, is Oakland not finding enough free money for the A’s.

Hey, @SteveYeagerNV , I'll throw it back at you now. The percentage of people who come out winners in Las Vegas is 11%. The A's have already been losers in San Jose, Fremont, Laney College...so I wouldn't bet on them. The A's best bet is, and always was, OAKLAND.

We can still have a waterfront ballpark. Let’s make it happen. @Athletics or expansion team…I’m ready. An Oakland ballpark with waterfront views? It nearly happened in the 1960s

A stadium with views of Lake Merritt was once on the table for the 1960s Oakland A’s...

Port Commissioners and staff have made it clear that Howard Terminal is not needed for future operations. A multi-use, diverse, vibrant Port is the best solution for Oakland. @sfbcdc , which governs responsible bay uses, agreed 23-2. Time to work TOGETHER.

Oakland @MayorShengThao said "It is looking good" after meeting with the @Athletics about the stadium at Howard Terminal. I encourage billionaire polluters Schnitzer Steel ( @SSI_Recruiting ), @PMSAship & @HarborTruckers to join the effort to create a multi-use, vibrant waterfront.

VERY DIFFERENT. Oakland, California and the Port pursued available grant money to make long needed improvements to infrastructure, provide pedestrian and bike safety and improve access/traffic. Nevada stole $$$ from schools, students and teachers to directly fund a stadium.

The staff report for the certification of the Oakland @Athletics waterfront ballpark is available below. The hearing is to determine the adequacy of the EIR and whether it should be forwarded to the Council for certification, not the merits of the project.

The fight is NOT over. @EduOverStadiums has a lawsuit and ballot initiative, but needs funding. Give today if you’re not ready to throw in the rosin bag.

This is the official @PortofOakland statement on Howard Terminal. We are looking at all options and would be open to a ballpark on a smaller scale which focuses on reinvigorating the side near Jack London Sq, while preserving the other side for more maritime related uses.

For the record, the ⁦Las Vegas @Raiders ⁩ ranked 30th in attendance out of 32 teams in the #NFL (and they’re not directly on the Strip). They’re also a more winning franchise than the A’s right now.

I love that the A's are now trying to parallel path their other parallel path that's led to them having nowhere to play for 3 years. And they still don't even have either of their 1st two paths secured.

“An expansion team created in the city’s own image and backed by a local ownership group with Las Vegas’ financial and marketing chops would be a fantastic success for the city and the league.”– The Nevada Independent

Oakland fan: Nevada-Fisher partnership doesn’t makes sense, would end disastrously - The Nevada...

This is a deal that makes sense for nobody and will end disastrously for everybody. Take it from a lifelong Oakland A’s fan, this is not a team owner Las Vegans should trust, let alone offer reside...

The smartest and most tactical thing that A's fans can do right now is to mobilize friends, family or co-workers in Nevada to oppose the $500 mil in public financing. @QuiDat94 , thanks for the link.
