Sacramento officials see the A’s as a trial run for a major league franchise of their own.
John Fisher, owner of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, announces that his team will leave Oakland after this season and play temporarily at a minor league park, during a news conference in West Sacramento, Calif., Thursday, April 4, 2024. The A’s announced the decision to play at the home of the Sacramento River Cats from 2025-27 with an option for 2028 on Thursday after being unable to reach an agreement to extend their lease in Oakland during that time.
“I just wanted to say how excited I am to be here in West Sacramento in Sutter Health Park, celebrating a momentous day for the community and a momentous day for our 123-year franchise,” Fisher said in his 205-word statement. “This is like having lower-bowl seats at a basketball game,” Ranadive said. “Every seat is amazing . . . what an incredible day. This is epic. It’s historic.”The stadium will get plenty of work, with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, an affiliate of the Giants, being co-tenants.
Barry Broome, the president and CEO of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, said, “How do you get your community on the map? We’re on the map today.”
