Oakland/Eastbay to lose all professional sports teams?
- Thread starter BROWN GUERRERO
- Start date
fuck the warriors. I dont give a fuck what happens to them. I cant stand it when people say oakland is ghetto, cause theres some super nice areas, and then theres some bad areas, but its just like any fuckin big city. If you make a wrong turn by the collisuem and get scared, then you a fuckin pussy. straight up pussy.
Raiders might move, but it aint this year, and im going to every home game. Die hard fan for life, dont care if they stay here or move to la or canada or whatever, theyre my team. I personally think they gonna stay. I think its safe to say as long as theyre still in the hunt for the playoffs, they will sell out all those games.
As for the a's, I hope they stay, and want them to stay at least locally, but with wolf as the owner, thats not gonna happen. I think its time for us a's fans to just face the facts about the a's moving, cause its only a matter of time.
@W.Sprayah
so who would you root for instead? the niners? you might as well switch now, or stop watching football

theres no reason for the Raiders to move, attendance was up last season and if that isnt a sign to Raiders ownership that it will remain that way then fuck them. Oakland is there home only played in another city for like 12 years in there franchises history. No i wont be a Niner fan if it happens. I hope i wont ever have to make a choice of switching to another team but due to my ties to another city which i could end up moving to a few years down the line it wouldnt be the hardest choice
No, I don't want the Raiders to move to Santa Clara with the Niners.
The 49ers are the ONLY team out of all the bay area teams(besides the Sharks but they havent been around long enough) that was 100% homegrown in the bay and has been here their entire duration.
IMO Raiders will eventually want to move out of Oakland because a.) Attendance issues. You guys did better last season, but you still needed extensions on certain games. The season before that every home game was blacked out. b.) It's Oakland and nobody wants to be in Oakland. The A's want to get the hell out asap and i'm sure the Raiders do too but they don't want to make it public because their following is way more loyal then that of the A's and they wouldn't want to do damage to that while they're still here.

The only place i would want the A's to move to is the spot by the coliseum with all the flea markets n shit. i hate that flea market crap my whole life anyway might as well shut it all down and build a fat ass stadium there. I always wanted the A's to have their own spot. with as much as i Love the Raiders i was an A's fan first. and they fuck up the field during playoff baseball.
Oakland Raiders have no plans to share stadium with 49ers
O.co Coliseum in Oakland is a sight to behold, but not in a good way. Home to the Oakland Raiders and Oakland Athletics baseball team, the 46-year-old stadium is beyond renovation, Raiders owner Mark Davis told NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport during the NFL Fall Meeting in Chicago.
The multi-purpose stadium poses problems when it comes to repairs and upgrades and the sightlines for football are "absolutely terrible," Davis told Rapoport.
The Raiders' bay area rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, broke ground on their new, 68,500-seat Santa Clara Stadium in April. But Davis told Rapoport that he has no plans to share the stadium, a la the New York Giants and New York Jets before MetLife Stadium was built.
"I give the 49ers all the credit in the world for getting a shovel in the ground in California," Davis said. "That's phenomenal. But we're trying to get our situation right. It's not easy to do."
The 49ers and Raiders have kept discussion open about sharing a home field, although Davis told Rapoport that the best case scenario would be to keep the Raiders in Oakland and build a new stadium on the current site of O.Co Coliseum, or at another viable site in Dublin, Calif.
