In 2024, the Oakland Coliseum will host A's games. But then, when will the lease expire? Who knows what will happen.
There are negotiations to keep the A's three more years via an extension of the lease, but it is not necessarily credible. After all, things are bad between the A's and the city.
There is also the idea of going to play in the Giants stadium, but let's wait before saying that the idea makes sense. It's not done, that.
Seeing the club move from 2025 to 2027 (before the opening of a future stadium in Vegas, construction of which should begin shortly) is therefore realistic.
I always thought that going to play in the A's AAA stadium in Vegas made sense, but it seems that right now it's not a realistic option.
According to Evan Drellich of The Athletic, the most logical idea at the moment is Sacramento. We're talking about a town in California two hours north of Oakland.
What you need to know is that applications from Oakland, Sacramento and Salt Lake City would be accepted at this time.
Oakland, it's improbable. And Salt Lake City would make sure that the deal of A's TV, which is paid, would no longer apply. For what? Because it's not in California.
Is this why Vegas is not considered right now?
Note that a decision could be announced in the coming weeks with a view to the 2025 season. Rob Manfred does not want to drag this out.
Let us also mention that the Sacramento ballpark has 14,000 seats. Right now, the Giants AAA club is playing there.
In the end, the Giants could indeed host the A's, eh?
