The A’s plan to relocate to Las Vegas in 2028, but where they will play after this season remains uncertain with their lease at the Coliseum expiring. Sacramento and Salt Lake City have been floated as options, as well as sharing Oracle Park with the San Francisco Giants. “I felt like that was for us to know that it was important,” said Hal Gordon, an economist and former hot dog vendor at the Coliseum who became a fan favorite before he left in 2022. “This time, we’re fighting. We’re fighting back. We’re raising money to fight back. We’re urging people not to go in so they have less money to build their stadium.”Managers for both teams empathized with the fans.
