40,000 eh? That would take at least five games to get there. Good luck.
Last I heard, over 17,000 tickets sold.
just bought two - Fisher needs to sell.
See you there.
Woukd be nice to sell the team to owners who will keep the team in Oakland.
But new owners might still want a new stadium.
Come back to Kansas City so we can send the Royals front office, scouting, and player development down the river on a barge.
As it happens, they’re doing this when the team is hot. They’ve been winning lately. Keep coming. It will drive the owner crazy.
There will be gunplay.
I’m pro- 2nd Amendment.
Remember how that turned out for her? A's fans ought to take that to heart.
“It’s about people...”
Oh God in that case there is no option....MOVE away from all those filthy democrats! Baseball is an American game!
Bingo. I said that to my friend.
John Fisher is a SF Giants fans, and used to be a part owner. Doesn’t the fact he was a Giants owner make it collusion.
We haven’t watched or been to a MLB game in decades. One of the last players strikes did it for me. That said, dad was born and raised in San Francisco. Candlestick Park was also named Where Home Runs Go To Die. The wind at Candlestick was not as bad as the Hawk in Chicago, but Willie Mays would have another 100 home runs, at least.
At one point, way after Mays had retired, there was talk of the SF Giants leaving. During that time, there were not many people in the stands. The great Herb Caen commented on the lack of fans in the stands, that if the fans were to move to another city, it would be less people than the actual total team players.
The new stadium should be somewhere safe, like in Sunnyvale.
The A’s are leaving Oakland because the City has dropped the ball for over twenty years. Oakland has lost two teams in the last five years and that is NOT coincidence, it is incompetence on the Government’s fault there. Who wants to spend their hard earned money in a crime riddled hell hole like Oakland.
I used to be very active in sports. After my military service the only “sport” I can do is sailing, barely.
I am not much of a sports fan and the amount of money involved in the industry is astoundingly stupid.
I’d rather watch a high school football team or a little
league baseball team than any professional multi-millionaires.
Awesome! And, so true!
