$40M Patrick Mahomes Invests $2 Billion, Backing Fans Against Billionaire Villian John Fisher as Teams Share Similar Misery

The last few seasons have been difficult for the Oakland Athletics and the Kansas City Royals. Both AL teams couldn’t deliver up to the mark, languishing last in their divisions. Not only this, they have also battled the need for more support, with low average stadium attendance. It has brought feasibility issues and questions about whether these cities can back the MLB team. The A’s owner John Fisher did not think so and has planned a stadium and home change with a move to Las Vegas. In contrast, the Royals’ owners, including Patrick Mahomes, think otherwise and are coming up with a plan to back it up.

Stadiums play a role in attracting or catering to the needs of fans. Every team wants to do the best for their fans and in return, they want fans to back the team. But that has yet to be the case with the A’s and the Royals, both with low attendance. It brings doubts over the future and is one reason for A’s move to Vegas. The Royals, in contrast, have kept their faith in the city and the fans, unlike Fisher with their upcoming $2 billion Plan.
