The intensity of the speculation, coupled with A\u2019s President Dave Kaval\u2019s reportedly weekly visits to Las Vegas and MLB\u2019s approval of the club\u2019s move to the US gaming capital, gave the impression that it was nearly a done deal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oakland_Fights_to_Keep_a_Team%E2%80%A6Finally\"><\/span>Oakland Fights to Keep a Team\u2026Finally<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For Oakland, the Thursday vote by the development commission is a step in the right direction in terms of retaining the city\u2019s remaining professional sports franchise.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p><strong>Our city has historically been overlooked for major economic development, but today that story about Oakland changes,\u201d<\/strong> said Mayor Libby Schaaf in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In recent years, Oakland lost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/steve-wynn-lights-torch-at-raiders-game-amid-cheers-and-some-jeers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the NFL\u2019s Raiders<\/a> to Las Vegas and the NBA\u2019s Golden State Warriors to neighboring San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>In Oakland, the A\u2019s are proposing construction of a $1 billion site that includes a stadium, hotels, residences, and retail space.
