Las Vegas ballpark at night the home of the Las Vegas Aviators the Oakland A’s minor league triple A club. The A’s could end up sharing the Ballpark with the Aviators at the end of the 2023 season leaving the Oakland Coliseum (Las Vegas Ballpark photo)

On That’s Amaury’s podcast:

#1 Amaury, One of the biggest concerns in the Oakland A’s move to Las Vegas is the hundreds of jobs that will be lost, in talking with the other broadcasters, writers, radio and TV production staff, official scorers, MLB clock staff, front office staff, fans, concession staff, custodians, engineers, grounds crew, security, and many we haven’t named here that’s a lot of people out of work in bad economy.

#2 Bally’s Corp who struck a deal with the A’s to begin construction at the Tropicana site this summer this is all contingent on an agreement that needs to be reached this week in the Nevada Legislature that would fund part of the park for $395 million.

#3 The Wild Wild West location was looking promising that had 49 acres but the A’s didn’t want to pay the back taxes at that location and the cost was higher to build and move there to the tune of $500 million the Tropicana location looks like the sure thing and it was a place that the A’s were considering when moving to Vegas in the beginning.

#4 With the Tropicana location it’s just nine acres almost no room for the office space, the retail space, the condos that A’s owner John Fisher was consider putting in at Howard Terminal. With nine acres sounds like it’s just enough room for the ballpark only.

#5 Some critics are comparing this A’s season to last season of former defunct clubs like the Washington Senators who moved to Texas, the St Louis Browns who moved to Baltimore, Boston Braves who moved to Atlanta, who saw small crowds during the regular season and the Senators in their last game in1971 had fans riot in their last home game grabbing anything that wasn’t nailed down.
