After 3 decades of trying to leave the Coliseum, the Oakland Athletics have made it official that they are moving to Las Vegas. Despite attempts in San Jose, Fremont, and at the Coliseum site, lack of public financing and government red tape has made the A's staying in Oakland near impossible after multiple tries for a new stadium. David Kaval and John Fisher began meeting secretly with Nevada officials about a potential relocation, and considering the A's don't have the capital to build a stadium themselves, it was clear what was the best move. In this video we'll take a look at the history of a team that seemingly has never had a permanent home, their longstanding second-class status, and the full timeline of their new stadium and relocation drama.
