    Have you been to the march to the match in POR or SEA? What you’re describing doesn’t compare to those fans’ traditions.
    I assume the Ultras do the march from the tailgate lot to PPP, but that is like walking from the locker room to the toddler pool.

    If they wanted to they could march from downtown to the stadium or meet at the train station and march from there, join up with tailgaters and come down Wondo Way, etc. Seattle and Portland don’t have exclusive rights to doing supporters marches.

    So much whining about the stadium. The stadium is not the problem.

    In other words, the stadium is not amazing but certainly isn’t the bottleneck. The problem is that we suck, we can worry about the stadium once we become better.

    The supporters are the problem. A bunch of small support groups cant even get along and build one huge wall of supporters and unite...

    See LAFC, DC United, Portland, Seattle, Nashville, SKC.

    The team is also a problem right now. There needs to be something to cheer about. Good on the supporters / fans of any kind for sticking with the team. I think we set our own record for home losses this year with 12, at least in the post-shootout days. That may be a league-wide post shootout record. By comparison in 2018 we had 9. Last year we had 2 home losses! What the hell happened?

    Luchi's coaching tied with him giving Leitch a short list of very suspect players to work with he wanted.

    The stadium is estimated to cost $1.5 billion which would make it the 2nd most expensive baseball stadium ever (inflation adjusted.) It's hard to know exactly what the roadblocks were in Oakland, but one of them was said to be Fisher's ability to finance his portion there. So either that was a lie/misreported or his financing sources feel that Vegas is a much better bet.

    The "roadblocks in Oakland" were that, at the end of the day, Fish really didn't want to build a stadium in Oakland. Rooted In Oakland

    It was probably a Fish + MLB joint decision.

    The A’s weren’t allowed to go to San Jose; was that a joint decision?

    And the 1922 Supreme Court and every Congress since then who have allowed MLB to be exempt from antitrust laws which apply to everyone else.

    Let's hope it happens and he doesn't renege in service of his billion dollar baseball stadium in Vegas.
