Oakland A’s team president said at the MLB owners vote in Arlington that the A’s will play at Oracle Park in San Francisco for the remaining three years 2025-27 until the Tropicana ballpark in ready in 2028 in Las Vegas. The A’s will finish their final year at the Oakland Coliseum in 2024. The A’s said they will not rebrand their name and remain the Oakland A’s during the construction period.

On the Oakland A’s relocation podcast with Daniel Dullum:

#1 Daniel, the results of the MLB owners vote certainly didn’t come as a surprise to anyone?

#2 Schools over Stadiums the Nevada education group trying to stop the public financing of the Tropicana ballpark said that their fight is long from over saying, “@EduOverStadiums has a lawsuit and ballot initiative, but needs funding. Give today if you’re not ready to throw in the rosin bag.”

#3 The A’s will not get local TV money if they play in either Sacramento or Nevada. A’s president David Kaval talked on Thursday that the A’s will play their games on an interim basis at Oracle Park in San Francisco from 2025-27 three season after the conclusion of the 2024 season at the Coliseum.

#4 The Oakland 68’s the A’s largest fan group who last year organized the reverse boycott is calling for an all out boycott for opening day at the Oakland Coliseum when the A’s host the Cleveland Guardians on Thu Mar 28, 2024. The Oakland 68s said for no one show up for the home opener in 2024 after A’s ownership has abandon Oakland. If you thought last season’s crowds were bad 2024’s crowds might draw crowds of 1,000 or less per game.

#5 In essence Daniel, in your opinion is this pretty much a done deal and there is nothing stopping the A’s from leaving Oakland now not even a last ditch effort by Schools over Stadiums?
