With the Oakland A's having purchased land in Las Vegas for a new ballpark, and with the Raiders and Warriors gone, Oakland, with no major sports teams left, becomes a ‘minor league’ city.

City Councilman Dan Kalb backed her up. "The things I want to say you can't print, and you can't put on the air," said Kalb.and says the team acted in bad faith. It has been what it looks like from the outside, that they've always wanted to leave the city of Oakland. Oakland is not interested in being used as leverage with the A's negotiations with Las Vegas. We will not continue discussions under these circumstances. Oakland will not be bullied," said Mayor Thao.
So, the Port ballpark, residential and retail deal appears to be dead. That doesn't mean that we leave the land empty. This is an opportunity for the City of Oakland and all of our options are open. "So, you know, where one or two or three doors are shut, other doors open up, so we have to move forward and look for those opportunities," said Alameda County of Supervisors President Nate Miley.
