    The parents of the owner of the A's own The Gap. His wealth is based on the value of The Gap. John Fisher has still not put together a financial package to build the stadium, and now it's getting much more difficult.

    A shitty, cheap ass owner is going to be a shitty cheap ass owner not matter where they play. The sooner MLB realizes that and gets him to sell the team...

    This and there is another issue. The tariffs will cause the cost of building any type of stadium to continue to rise at an accelerated pace. No costs or expenses can be set and actual completion dates are all in question because companies are having a hard time scheduling anything.

    More games on TV, and easier access to watch games = better.

    The days of 45K sized stadiums is probably dead.

    Look at the NBA. There are something 66% of the league that has a small capacity than the RG.

    I think the NBA and MLB are realizing that the answer isn't more seats.

    For what it's worth, I was given MLB TV for free with T-Mobile service.

    Thanks for proving my point.

    Only 7 teams average more than 35K, and of those 7 teams, 2 are in NY, 1 in each LA, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
