The Oakland A’s will play 3-4 seasons in Sacramento until their new stadium is built in Las Vegas. They’ll start playing in Sacramento next season at the same stadium as the Giants’ AAA affiliate (and former A’s affiliate) the Sacramento River Cats.
Honestly this could’ve come out on Monday and I would’ve been convinced it was an April Fools thing. Not really sure how I feel about Sacramento getting an MLB team. The stadium is fine, but it’s most certainly not an MLB stadium. Only holds like 10,000 seated and another few thousand in the grass. I feel bad for the Oakland folks that like the A’s. I almost feel like going to an A’s game in Sacramento would be like crossing a picket line. Why are the owners of the (former) Oakland teams so awful?!
