Have you been to an A’s game? Just curious if you know where the stadium is

located, the condition of the stadium, and the cost of attendance up until this year?

It is a shame that MLB is losing Oakland. Shame on anyone involved in the franchise leaving.

well, sure, but shame on the fans too for not showing up

The fans didn’t show up because the ownership tanked the team. 100% on ownership.

The Jazz have been tanking for years now and fans still show up.

Imagine if they played in a dump and the NBA allowed them to spend only ~$50m on salary

Fair point. Do you believe that Oakland has no blame? They have lost the

Oakland is clearly very difficult to deal with.

TCuz

Sep 26, 2:03pm

That's true. There are probably a few groups in the Bay Area that would have

Years ago Joe Lacob was publicly very interested in buying the A’s.

What a pisser. I went to my first MLB game in Oakland before the Raiders ruined

The city of Oakland clearly sucks to work with and deserves plenty of blame.

This is what we have in Colorado, but somehow fans still keep showing up. Mostly opposing fans, but Monfort doesn't care

At the very least, the Rockies have a beautiful stadium, and their payroll is near league median

I agree it sucks, but it says something about the state of affairs in Oakland

Jdoc

The city, fans and Fisher are all to blame. They’ve been among the five worse

The Raiders and Warriors didn’t have any attendance issues. It’s not a fan issue, it’s a city and owners issue

Mike Honcho

They had mediocre attendance before John Fisher bought the team, despite winning

That's what the data show

Bob Vance

Sep 26, 2:19pm

That may be true. It’s not like the previous owner group invested in the team or the experience either, and the Giants

Yeah, as I’ve said multiple times, he’s terrible. Doesn’t mean it’s easy to run

Who do we blame for the extraordinarily bad attendance? I note that the Rangers and Angels both struggled at about

They used to before Fisher purposefully decided to tank the team to help justify his move.

The ownership group intentionally did everything possible to kill the fanbase.

Sep 26, 2:07pm

They didn't have good attendance in 2019 or 2020 though

Everyone knew the selloff was coming, just like in 2006 and 2014. In pro sports

Super sad for those fans. In unrelated news, can’t wait for the Utah Hockey

All 23 of them. So sad.

John Fisher is a terrible owner.

Sep 26, 1:51pm

He’s terrible for the San Jose Earthquake too. I’m betting they try to move in the never 5 years as well
