Quick Glance: Bringing Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is Wrong | Opinion
  • Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.

  • Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.

  • He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.

  • Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.

  • Surveillance footage captured the scene of six thieves, one of them armed, storming into the store, smashing cases with hammers, and grabbing any valuables within reach.

  • Despite the harrowing experience and the loss of the store's most valuable items, the family has declared their commitment to preserving their legacy in Oakland and not succumbing to crime.

Quick Glance: Oakland A's to Play at Sacramento's Sutter Health Park before Las Vegas Move
  • The Oakland Athletics will play their final season in Oakland in 2024, marking their 57th season there. They will move to the Sutter Health Park in Sacramento for 2025-27, with the option to extend for another year. The park will serve as a major league venue for at least three seasons.

  • The Sacramento Kings own the River Cats. The A's look to relocate to Las Vegas by the 2028 season. Oakland is now focusing on developing the Coliseum site. The city offered the A's a fair deal for 2025-27, which was seen as fiscally responsible.

  • Oakland extended gratitude to West Sacramento, Sutter Health Park, and the Sacramento region for hosting the A's temporarily. Sutter Health Park will host the A's for the 2025-27 seasons before their move to Vegas in 2028. The park will be modified to meet MLB standards, ensuring a top-notch baseball experience. Sacramento is excited to welcome the A's as their temporary home.

Quick Glance: Tropicana's Closure for New Baseball Stadium
  • The 67-year-old Tropicana will close on Tuesday to make way for a new baseball stadium designated for the Major League Baseball team the A's.

  • Originally considered luxurious, the Tropicana lost its appeal over the years and was finally sold to Bally's for $308 million to make room for the future baseball stadium.

  • Demolition is scheduled for October after MLB owners approved the A's move to Las Vegas in November of last year. The team is expected to arrive in Las Vegas in 2028.

  • The design for the new $1.5 billion baseball stadium on the Tropicana site was recently unveiled, showcasing a futuristic look with huge white sails inspired by traditional baseball pennants.
