@heykevinjohn Fantastic! That blows most community college attendance figures out of the water!

12,194 fans announced at Sutter Health Park for today’s series finale between the A’s and Guardians.

@VitalVegas @LisaVanderpump @CromwellVegas @CaesarsEnt What reality star should Harrah's use for their rebrand?

Vanderpump rebrand update. @LisaVanderpump @CromwellVegas @CaesarsEnt

@DanMarrazza @robnmish Thank you for the honesty. I appreciate it Dan.

@Allen_TSS @robnmish I started with the team at the beginning, moving there from New Jersey. Then I moved away after two years to work at DraftKings (Boston). I later ended up with the Coyotes and was with the team went down.

When I was in Vegas, I learned the city is way different than many think. Many think it’s only casinos/tourists. People from there are as fiercely proud of their city as anywhere in the country. Them against the world attitude. Blue collar. They turn out for their teams. They’ll support the full group just fine.

@foxonabox_ MLB is on the decline and it worries diehard fans. They are scared the Bananas will chip away at the "real" game.

I don’t get why the Savannah Bananas make people so angry. It’s basically like the Harlem Globetrotters. Don’t think of it like real baseball and just think of it as entertainment. It’s not my thing but I get why people enjoy it, especially kids.

@robnmish @DanMarrazza Who knows.

@Allen_TSS @DanMarrazza If he started with the VGK then it would be 9 years

@DanMarrazza Apparently. With nearly two years experience! Very impressive.

@Allen_TSS I lived in Summerlin for two years. I was one of the first five employees in Golden Knights history and was in the room when the majority of the original season tickets were sold. I know both the area and sports scene well.

@ToddFuhrman Will be more nuts in 30 years when they are all gone.

Vegas going from no pro sports teams at the top level to having one in damn near every league by '29 is nuts * Golden Knights * A's * Raiders * Aces * NBA - TBD * MLS - Whitecaps relo I love it for the city to have options but not sure how the town supports all of them well

@exile72 @VegasAsFan @OaklandRooted It has a fair bit of corruption, and awful politics. Status quo for or an area with massive influxes of money. Really sucks for the less fortunate people with little means though.

@VegasAsFan @Allen_TSS @OaklandRooted The facts are that the Bay Area remains the most economically vibrant area in the entire country. Oakland has the same urban problems as any other major city.

I don't have a dog in the fight, and I'm not interested a battling with you @OaklandRooted and others, but in your crusade against MLB, I'm offering some reality. The plight of Oakland losing a team is not going to get a lot of sympathy. Most of the country sees California and especially the Bay Area as losing businesses of all kinds from fast foods to Oracle. A sports team leaving is only a small part of the general trend. What most people would prefer is seeing the area fix its problems. Most of the media conveniently covered up for the city and region that blocked evey time the team tried to get a new stadium over a 20+ year period. They stired up misdirected hatred among the fans. Had the fans and the rest of the voters demanded a pro-business, pro-growth government, things might have been different. Since John Fisher acquired the team in 2005, they were among the top 11 teams in playoff appearance years while attendance ranked a miserable 27 out of 30. The media encouraged a feeling of entitlement instead of gratitude for having what many other cities crave. That feeling of entitlement in the Bay Area alienates many. Any investigation of MLB would show this move was more than justified. The people in the Bay Area would be far better off if they had a serious introspection of what happened and why.

@VegasAsFan @OaklandRooted Thank you for confirming my suspicion. Stay ignorant ❤️

@Allen_TSS @OaklandRooted The examples of businesses fleeing are well documented.

@willforthrill You sound super fun!

When I went to the baseball game with my friend last week he was gobsmacked that I don’t like the Savanna Bananas and I didn’t have the heart to tell him outright that I think this is the lamest shit in the world

@LasVegasLocally Being run so poorly you're fanless, so you turn to visiting team's fans to make ends meet. 😎

Vegas is the best thing that ever happened to professional sports. We literally made hockey cool.

@jayhaykid So far, not even private equity wants to touch the A's.

Ultimately I think sports fans are gonna end up yearning for the days of individual or family-oriented ownership of franchises. Private equity insidiously making its way into the arena has been, and will continue to be, a net negative objectively and subjectively for fans.

The crossover we KNEW we needed🤩

@FOS @Royals Awful looking stadium. Awful for taxpayers. My condolences to all.

The Kansas City Royals have released new renderings of its $1.9 billion future downtown ballpark: • Shared space with Hallmark Cards • 20,000+ construction jobs • Set to open in 2030

@JoshChavis65 Taxpayers shouldn't give money they don't have to support your baseball watching habit.

Anyone who comes out against this is completely unserious. Looking at you, KC tenants. This will be largely privately funded and is an incredible outcome for Kansas City.

@Royals Why move to a shittier looking stadium though? I mean other than the bundles of cash from taxpayers trying to make ends meet.

A Hallmark day for our organization, our city, and our community.

@MLBcathedrals A really nice downgrade from Kauffman!

Initial first impressions of new KC ballpark renderings. Iconic scoreboard would look better in centerfield like at Kauffman Stadium. That batter’s eye isn’t going to fly. Not too different from Kauffman overall (which is a good thing).

Yesterday I had a dream about it I know exactly what it means Really is no other way around it Fabric is not stronger than it’s seams - @TheStartingLine
