if any team moves to vegas, it'll be oakland. hands down they have the worst stadium in professional sports.

They could always share the facility the Raiders are having built there. Then it'd feel like home, just newer.

How about Long Beach? Isn't that where Gene Autry originally wanted them, but negotiations broke down and he picked Anaheim?

That's what I recall reading.

I saw Fletcher tweet today that they have rights to be in LA, OC, or Ventura County. No Riverside, which is surprising, but ok.

 

1. New Stadium on Current Anaheim Parking Lot

2. Inglewood

3. Carson

4. Long Beach

People just throwing out crap.

Where on earth in Long Beach are you going to build a major league stadium?

[yk9001]

The only thing Arte pays premium money for is washed up ballplayers.  And yachts.

He has a sweet deal in Anaheim.  No other entity is offering him crap.  Can you imagine the cost of the land and new stadium in Long Beach?

City of Long Beach has a lot of firefighter pensions to pay.  They don't have the money to offer a stadium and land.

No way this happens in Ventura County, I would be astonished. I could see a stadium in Riverside before the people in Ventura county allow a stadium to be built.

i think it's mostly agreed that the most likely scenario is a new stadium in the current location, with the 2nd most likely scenario a downtown LA ballpark. the 2nd option is very difficult, with many torrents surrounding it, but it does fit.

Sounds like the kind of place you see on billboards near big bear when youre driving to vegas. And its never the chick on the billboard that actually works there.

Ha it does sound like a shitty strip club

Angels move to Vegas, A's move into the empty Anaheim Stadium.

They can still call it The Big A.

MLB has to be happy with that solution.

.....would eric chavez be the manager? If so, of which team?

[Puget Sound Angel]

The Angels in Anaheim has been a big part of my life for over 40 years. Please, if you must build a new ballpark, do it on the current site.

If they must leave let it be to Tustin, my home town.
