    Baseball fans notice glaring error in first images of new Athletics stadium in Las Vegas

    [​IMG]

    'Let's make the roofs the same color as the balls, the most idiotic owner in sports strikes again,' one fan posted to X, formerly Twitter.

    Another one posted, 'That roof looks like a nightmare for popups and high fly balls.'

    '1000 IQ play by the MLB's most competent owner to make the roof the same color as a baseball,' another fan sarcastically said.

    'F**ked with this heavy until I realized the roof was white,' said another.

    Another fan posted, 'White ceiling is a horrible idea for a ballpark.'

    Funding and financing has not yet been announced or finalized as owner John Fisher and the city of Las Vegas try to agree on a deal.

    Not good news for expansion if this situation never gets resolved

    Why? They could still have expansion + another option that might move.

    MLB should have forced Oaklands owner to sell, same with the Rays owner.

    MLB has stated they want to sort out the A's and Rays stadium situations before they move forward with any expansion. Who knows if they will stick to that, though.

    Pretty simple. Force them to sell to Portland and Utah.

    Works for me, but if Utah gets a team and we don't, I'm gonna start wearing black magic underwear.

    Idk how that tiny city could support 3 major sports leagues if they get MLB. For decades we were told we weren’t large enough for more teams

    That tiny city hosted the Olympics. They probably built some hospitality infrastructure in the run-up thereto that supports major league sports better than Portland's does.

    Sorry, I misread what you wrote. I haven't been paying attention to the Rays at all.

    Sounds like the Rays have known for awhile they won't be building in Pinellas County (St. Pete), now if Tampa steps up that could keep them in Florida but sounding more and more like they will be looking else where to play and owner will NOT be selling the team.

    I'll take what I can get, but it'd be a bummer to wait so long for a team, and then end up with one with a cheap ass owner that is a farm system for the other top teams.
