I say, no.... Shame on the A's for trying to stick up the city and county..
Sign a 10 years lease or hit the road Jack and don't come back, should be the Oakland and Alameda Co. approach... If the A's say no - then look sell the land or tear it down and make it a public park with plenty of big field sport sites or a bit of both.. With Soccer, Baseball you name it fields - Sports by and for people...
The current A's ownership has snubbed the city - who has tried to work with them in building a stadium here...
The A's ownership publicly has stated it wants to move to San Jose... I think Oakland should say, "Go for it A's, thanks for the memories and get the heck out now..
Time for the city and county to move on... The place paid for itself once over and more...
The Warriors are leaving... Looks like the Raiders are too ... Throw the A's out with them and good riddance..
Public monies spent on Pro Sports are a cancer on municipalities... Time for the ESPN types with their embarrassingly stupid jiggles and their phony patriotic hyperbole to pay for things themselves...
Oakland owes the A's nothing now!!!
Hey, I like the Oakland A's - Love'm really... But, I believe in tough love.. If the A's think they are too good for Oakland - (my always will be home town) - then I say, "there's the door and don't let it hit you in the behind on the way out"...
