It has been an unlikable season for the Oakland Athletics fans. Not only results have disappointed them, but a series of unfavorable events have further added to their misery. It all started with the franchise owner John Fisher’s decision to move the franchise to a new place. However, the passing of a bill providing $380 million in public money to succeed this plan has made it worse. Though fans have done everything from boycotts to reverse boycotts against the move, nothing has worked for their cause. In a recent development, the Oakland management further ignited the controversy by not proposing a different location for the upcoming season.
The most recent report suggests that Oakland management is considering another season at the Coliseum. As A’s have cleared that they will shift their bases to a new place, fans could not get over this news. Reacting to it, they have shared their objections to the whole decision.

Given the recent events which have unfolded in the last few weeks, the decision to continue at Coliseum Stadium is surprising. There is a possibility of A’s continuing at Coliseum, according to nbcsportsbayarea. Though the decision makes sense as the stadium is on lease with them until the end of 2024. Given the fans’ unrest, the situation remains complicated.

Also, according to the above report, the decision has been taken even after the availability of multiple options. It includes the Triple-A ballparks in Reno, Las Vegas, and Sacramento. Fans who have protested all season against the owner have not liked this decision either.
Fans find A’s decision to play at Coliseum absurd!
Clearly, the baseball fans are not happy with the decision. As A’s are a step closer to shifting their bases with the approval from the Nevada lawmakers, baseball fans find this decision a mockery of their feelings.

This actually pusses me off. They wanna say “We’re focused on Vegas” wel screw them. We should be petty and say we’re focused on the teams that actually want to stay here

Moreover, it does not make sense for many!
Get them out of here if they are leaving.
