John Fisher Says Oakland A's Las Vegas MLB Relocation Application Filed, In Interview With Review J
John Fisher Says Oakland A's Las Vegas MLB Relocation Application Filed, In Interview With Review Journal. In an interview with Mitch Akers of the Las Vegas Review Journal, John Fisher, the Oakland A's Owner, let it be known that the A's applied for relocation to Las Vegas. John Fisher: We just recently submitted our relocation application. The commissioner has established a relocation committee that is going to review that, and it will then make its way to the other committees that will be reviewing it, and then to the full group of owners to vote on it. This is not new. Since we started looking at Las Vegas, we have been working closely with the commissioner and our fellow owners to make sure people were really up to speed on where things were on the timeline of our project in Las Vegas. My hope is that this will get accomplished sometime soon, but I don’t want to put a timeline on that, because that timeline is really governed by the commissioner and by our fellow owners. John Fisher said more, including this: I have not considered selling the team. I’ve now owned the team with my partner Lew Wolff, it’s shocking really how the time flies, but since 2005. Our goal since then has been to find a new home and build a new home for our team. Long-term, I think we’ve understood, and looking at the great success stories of new ballparks throughout baseball, I think all but four ballparks in baseball are new since the early ’80s. Led by [Baltimore’s] Camden Yards, going through the great facility Atlanta has built. It’s been clear to us that we need a new home, but it’s taken us a long time. We’re super excited about where we are today with the new stadium we’re going to build, which I think is going to be iconic for the Strip. We think it’s going to be great for the community, and which we think is going to be great for not only the A’s and our fans, but for all of baseball and really of sports. Let's talk about this and get your view, all on today's livestream. Join me at 4 PM EST, today, Zennie62 YouTube. Stay tuned.
