Other topics included whether a ballpark in Vegas should have a roof and fans’ preferred methods of transportation to the strip and elsewhere. It also asked for fans’ attitudes about the A’s potentially relocating there, interest level in purchasing season tickets for an MLB team and thoughts on having a new ballpark on the Las Vegas strip or off it.
The survey, sent via email with a note reminding that “no decisions about the potential relocation of the A’s or the construction of a new ballpark in Las Vegas have been made”, asks if Aviators fans buy season tickets for other Las Vegas sports teams, including the Raiders, WNBA’s Aces and NHL’s Golden Knights. The email questionnaires are a reminder that at this point, anything is still possible. Nevada’s governor appears to believe that as well, saying recently that A’s officials are now just using Las Vegas to leverage their interest in Oakland.
On one hand, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff said last week the vote “creates a clear path to keep the A’s rooted in Oakland” in a waterfront ballpark. Oakland Athletics send survey to Las Vegas fans on potential moveĬlearly, the county’s vote last week did not answer the questions about where the A’s next home will be.
