Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman isn't exactly extending a warm embrace to the Oakland Athletics, who plan to build a $1.5 billion stadium in her city.
In fact, Goodman said the team's stadium plan "does not make sense" and that A's ownership should go back to the drawing board and pitch a new plan in the Bay Area.
"I personally think [the A's have] got to figure out a way to stay in Oakland to make their dream come true," Goodman told the Front Office Sports Today podcast, which was released Tuesday.

Oakland is LOST.
Past time to withdraw.
Why would anyone want to stay in the Bay Area?
I can’t imagine anyone being able to make their dream come true there.
Unless there drew is to walk in human excrement everyday and be raped by Honduran gang bangers.
Wonder how she feels about the Super Bowl?
Bay Area already has a team. They don’t need two.
If there is a good market for MLB, I say it’s Nashville.
Wasn’t there a rumor concerning the Orioles until the recent sale?
MLB can force Jeff Fisher to sell the team. He’s a loser. Bad for business. Then one of the casinos can build the stadium in Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, the mayor saying so doesn’t mean the move will stop.
Smart mayor. Fisher should go back to the Giants.
She should have.
Plan B. But it won't be Jeff Fisher.
Tropicana is already sold…
The giant should go back to Tampa Bay.
I wondered if Carolyn was related to Oscar Goodman, the notorious mob attorney and former LV mayor. She is in fact his wife and they have been married since 1962. Hard to believe that people who rubbed shoulders with Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, Lefty Rosenthal, and Tony Spilotro (all his clients) are still around and active.
You are so accurate. He was a former part owner of the Giants and he’s colluding with the Giants to get them out of the area, even though the A’s franchise saved the Giants from moving.
Weird perverted people have weird perverted dreams.
Ridiculous they can’t build a stadium in Tampa.
The Lightning play downtown and they have tremendous support.
Nashville’s too expensive and too Hollywood.
