I'd wager the most incisive back and forth tonight was state senator Dallas Harris pushing Jeremy Aguero about the prevailing research on subsidies for stadiums: theathletic.com/4592120/2023/0…
@EvanDrellich @GrantBrisbee It’s interesting that part of the argument is that Vegas has a totally unique pipeline of tourists & that more away fans and visitors in general will attend, and that should count *against* Vegas. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.
@EvanDrellich @BASportsGuy I can’t believe the A’s expert on the economics of this proposal is a lawyer with a degree in hotel management. Makes sense when you consider the nonsensical fantasy of an economic report they submitted
@EvanDrellich If this Vegas thing goes truly off the rails: what’re odds the A’s try to relocate to any of the expansion cities out there with vocal groups like Salt Lake or Nashville? Wasn’t sure of the politics of those groups having planted a flag or how the commish would change @keithlaw
