Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

#1 Oakland A’s fans once again came out fighting for their team with the help of San Francisco Giants fans in the Unite the Bay game on Tuesday a game that was sold out at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

#2 The fight to keep the A’s in Oakland is not only happening at the Bay Series but also nationwide that was reflective of the fans turning out at the All Star game earlier this month and who vocally wanted the A’s to stay in Oakland has all of this put pressure on the owners not to relocate the A’s.

#3 Also another argument against the move is the A’s will be leaving their sixth largest market to go the smallest MLB market and into the smallest ballpark in MLB opposing teams don’t like the idea of losing gate revenue.

#4 The other issue that was brought up is the concern from the players union that playing in 110 degree weather for 4pm starts is concerning and that the players may want to go for a 7pm start playing in Vegas with a retractable roof.

#5 Also talking about the intersection where the park will be built at Las Vegas Blvd and Tropicana Ave which is the busiest intersection in the US and one the busiest intersections in the world. Will heavy gridlock at the busiest intersection in Vegas and trying to get in and out of the ballpark in 110 degree heat will that be a big concern?
