I love how John Fisher has been completely exposed and put into the spotlight. Can’t imagine stories like these help his pitch to investors .

haha I know I'm crazy, but as @BrodieBz broke down, Oregon has recently passed an $800M tax to lure an MLB team to build a stadium: Authorized by governor last week:

Gotta love wandering around the Coliseum 😍. Feels like part stadium/part museum for Oakland sports history

Love to see Roots planting their flag here 🌳. I also think USL will challenge MLS in coming years with promotion/relegation model and Messi's inevitable retirement. Big tings! 👀.
It’s official, we’re home. 🏠⚽️.️.Oakland Roots, @oaklandsoulsc, and @Project51O have secured a permanent home at the former Raiders facility in a transformative 15-year deal. What started as a training ground is now ours, the UCSF Health Oakland Roots and Soul Performance

Potential funding path to $2 Billion Vegas ballpark: . $1.1 B - Fisher Fam .$350 M - Public funds.$300 M - US Bank/Goldman Sachs .$175 M - Aramark .$225 M - MLB loans (Max potential, I believe) .—.$2.05 Billion total . Just waiting on that billion from Fisher family, is all.

Nevada house speaker said he grew up a Tigers fan before becoming a "loyal" Diamondbacks fan attending "dozens of games" and now he's rooting for the A's too 🤣

Rob Manfred definitely does NOT need a note card to remember the names of A's top players 😅
