season. it appears the major sticking point is how much are the a's willing to pay the city. richard gomez drives an hour and a half to come to each oakland a's home game, but like many fan, he's realizing this could be the final season at the coliseum. >> i still come to the games, and you know, cheer them on whether good or bad. >> reporter: the city of oakland says it'll extend its lease through a five-year contract for $97 million. the a's are hoping a new stadium will be ready for the 2028 season in las vegas but needs a place to play until then. >> i believe that the city should not back down, and if the a's don't want to work with them, they need to leave. >> reporter: a's have offered a two-year deal worth $$17 million. some fans believe the city may be asking for too much. >> that's pushing a little hard, i think. >> reporter: the a's have also been negotiating with sacramento and salt lake city

its final hour before closing for good. at the same time, the oakland airport seems to be having its own identity crisis. the airport is considering a plan to change its name to san francisco bay international airport, but it turns out sfo just is not having it. the oakland airport says the name change could boost more direct flights to the airport, but the leadership at sfo says that change will probably just make travelers confused. >> our concern is that you might have travelers that are thinking they're booking a trip to one airport and when they land they realize they're arriving at a completely different airport than they intended. >> the port of oakland is set to consider that name change next week. and this is important to note, people sometimes mix up the mineta san jose airport which has call letters sjc, with the airport sjo but oakland says the call letters, oak, would stay the same. tonight three people are recovering after a shooting in american canyon. it happened
11:05 pm
near the safeway at danrose and american canyon road around 5:30 this evening. video at the scene shows a car with bullet holes in the window. police have two people in custody but say they're still trying to figure out what exactly led up to the shooting. the pleasanton police department shared a story so unbelievable they had to clarify that it isn't an april fool's joke. they got a strange delivery last week from a man who says he was going through his garage when he found something collecting dust inside. they were three hand grenades, and they were live, so pleasanton police said the bomb squad had to destroy them. thankfully, nobody there got hurt. across the bay in san francisco, one of our producers saw a group of thieves ransacking a walgreens and decided to hit record. as juliette goodrich reports, the cameras did not stop them. >> reporter: on easter sunday, this brazen group grabbing what they please, wearing hoodies and carrying bags and backpacks, they went up and
11:06 pm
down the aisles, stealing merchandise. there is a security camera inside the store and a kpix employee was taking this video but this group didn't seem to care. >> and it was just like an ambush, base clichlt that's pretty much it. it was that quick. >> reporter: our produce who are took this video didn't want to be identified but described what happened. >> took me about three seconds to pull my phone out and started videoing or filming and they had no care at all. >> were you concerned even standing in their way taking video e? >> no, i mean, it's san francisco, i'll still kind of immune to it at this point. >> what was the reaction of the employees during and after? >> they did nothing. basically. they just -- i think they're also probably immune to it. again, it's that area, market and civic center, i think they're uses to smash-and-grabs in that area. especially the walgreens and cvss. i think they're taught not to do anything. >> reporter: sal is a vendor
11:07 pm
and goes into this store and others weekly. >> they think it's a free all. you can grab and go as you please. >> have you been working in the store when that's happened?. >> i see it often. >> reporter: when i walked in this particular walgreens, there is a video camera. there's a security guard today. is that not enough? >> no, it's never enough. >> reporter: we showed san francisco board of supervisor matt dorsey this video. he lives just a few blocks away from the walgreens and shops there. he points to san francisco's police staffings crisis. >> if we had a fully staffed police department, we could have a robbery unit that was doing more enforcement around places where retail theft plays out, holding more people accountable, and doing more to go after the fencing operations and, you know, the kinds of operations that make this lucrative. >> reporter: how did you feel when it was happening and then after when you had the video? >> i was in shock. angry. you know, because i live in san francisco, and you know, this is -- you hear about this stuff
11:08 pm
and see it happening all the time. >> the city, as we've reported, has toyed with a lot of different strategies to stop organized crime. hundreds of people stranded after a part of an iconic northern california highway just crumbled into the sea. and in the meantime, it was sunny and 70 degrees today. and if you like that and want more, there's another day like it coming tomorrow. make the most of tomorrow because by the middle of the week we're going back into winter. there's another system coming with more rain, but it's also really going to do a number on temperatures. we're going to look at the drop coming up in just a bit. and later in sports, best college player who can shoot the rock. and whoa, she was on display tonight. her name is caitlin clark, and she just shot her way to another final four. they risk injury and

11:12 pm
big sur. it crumbled over the weekend just south of rocky creek bridge. the highway is closed and caltrans has been shuttling people back and forth, some who have been stuck on one side of the highway and just can't get back to their neighborhoods or their homes, but with more rain on the way, those convoys, and importantly, the repairs could be delayed. crews have to install hundreds of feet of concrete barriers just so the repairs can be done safely. and as far as rain goes, darren, it seems like that could be the reality for what's in our future? it's the reality. coming in on thursday. there are several different aspects to this change, sara, and the most important part maybe for most of us is tomorrow is just as nice as today. sunny and 70. so if you're enjoying this, and who wouldn't be, you get one more day. it's going to be fantastic. there are subtle changes that are going to happen between now and thursday which clue us into the fact that things are changing. here's the first one. this is
11:13 pm
tomorrow morning. we come in for a close-up look here. the petaluma gap sits just north of point reyes. there's a low spot in the hills back there which you can see tomorrow morning the marine layer's going to fill in. it won't be too widespread, won't last long, the same thing through the golden gate tomorrow. that's pretty minimal. if you don't get up until 9:00 in the morning, you'll miss it. wednesday you won't. watch what happens on wednesday. wednesday morning we're all going to wake up, and it's going to be may gray. the marine layer's going to fill in pretty much the entire bay. that was strong onshore flow, and those clouds won't last long either, but higher clouds will stick around all day wednesday. so tomorrow's the last sunny and 70. wednesday it already gets noticeably cloudier, about 10 degrees cooler and windy. watch what happens wednesday night. strong onshore winds start to pick up. we're going to have 40-mile-an-hour gusts on the coast. so wednesday, 10 degrees cooler, bit cloudier, and windy in the evening. and just to see what's coming our way for the big thursday cooldown and rain,
11:14 pm
look at the big pool of cold air up there in the arctic. here we are. so we're looking at temperatures in the atmosphere. kind of tough to get oriented. that's the gulf of alaska, and that's cold air spilling down to us. it's going to get here on thursday. so a couple of things to look another first before we get into the timing of the rain. let's just do a little comparison on temperatures, because as we mentioned, tomorrow you get another day where many of the inland valleys are in the low 70s. there's your preview of what really will be a fantastic tuesday. we've got to say good-bye to that now. here's how much cooler you're going to be by thursday. a lot of these numbers are like 20 degrees cooler. let me just put the actual temperature on who are. whereas we've got this on low 70s tomorrow, nobody gets out of the mid and upper 50s by the time we get to thursday. so that might be one of the more noticeable impacts here. let's get into the details on the rain, and we'll time out that system as it approaches. you see that right there. okay, so we've got a nice little band of rain sitting off the coast
11:15 pm
by thursday. it really doesn't get here until the middle of the day. so right here we're taking a look at like noon to 1:00. at this point, mid thursday is the most noticeable timeframe for the rain. widespread, steady rain through the middle of the day on thursday. and then -- and if you've been following along, i bet you know where this is going. on friday it's going to turn into sdaterred on again off again showers with occasional thunderstorm, just like so many of the systems have done so far this winter. so we're a little early on the forecast models here where we're not really picking out a lot of high resolution detail, but the general play through is going to be the same. when we look at this again tomorrow, we're going to start seeing that pattern thursday and friday. most of the rain is coming thursday, but there will still be some scattered showers on friday. and yes, some of those could come in the form of thunderstorms. it's not a major rainstorm, but it's rain, and it's going to be close to an inch in the north bay, maybe
11:16 pm
about 0.3 of an inch in the south bay. it's going to snow in the sierra. pretty low. we're going to get close to a foot at the higher elevations. when we look at the close-up view at i-80 and highway 50, those are the two ways across that we would all care about near the bay area if you got to travel. there's almost a foot of snow up there. and snow level down to about 3,500 feet. so thursday and friday we're going to go through the same drill. a winter storm warning up there, chains are required, and there's going to be admonishments that if you don't have to go, you might want to put it off. we'vemuchwoo far this winter, but that is still enough to make driving up there unpleasant thursday and friday. you can see that rain here, there's one more back here on sunday. doesn't look super impressive on that sunday system, but there's a chance as we go into sunday an entirely separate system comes in with another chance of rain. we'll have more of that as we get closer to it. and the other thing that stands out, which is why we're doing two seven-day,
11:17 pm
75 degrees for inland valleys tomorrow. by thursday it is low 50s. that is a daytime high. all right, sara, back to you. with all of the drama with the a's and the plans to relocate to vegas, it's leaving behind some collateral damage, not just here at home in the bay but on the strip. in just a few minutes, an iconic vegas hotel is closing its doors for good to make way for the a's new stadium. mark strassmann shows us it's another piece of old las vegas left in the dust. >> in las vegas itself, the tourist doesn't have far to go for entertainment. >> reporter: 1957 -- >> a vigilant regard for human liberty. >> reporter: -- ike was president, elvis was king, and the new tropicana hotel, the tiffany of the strip, kicked up a fuss for vegas show girls and suave secret agents. >> i here the hotel tropicana is quite comfortable. >> reporter: for decades, the t
11:18 pm
r poshgs braulths in the famous trop brought in the famous and the infamous. tourists got bored, the money moved on. and in new vegas, old vegas often ends up here. a graveyard of gloried signage. some time this fall with a howl and a roar, the tropicana will become another spectacular vegas implosion. the latest prime spot on the strip to collapse into an aft thought. >> i thought tropicana always would be here. >> reporter: impressionist rich little has played vegas since the rat pack '60s. >> it was mainly single acts. you know, like frank, dean, and sammy. >> reporter: and headlined the
11:19 pm
tropicana's comedy club for the last eight years. >> i'll be sad when they blow it up, you know. i hope i'm not on the stage at the time. >> reporter: also wistful, barbara, a costume specialist. >> it was jumping. it was booming at the time. >> reporter: and a tropicana employee since 1978. you're sad it's closing, but you get it. >> it's really nothing they can do to build this place back up except tear it down and build it back up. >> reporter: replace it with this, a $1.5 billion baseball stadium, the new home of the relocating oakland a's. bally's has big plans for the rest of the tropicana property too but won't show its cards. bet on something audacious, it's vegas, baby. watch out, drag racers, it's time to bring in the big wheels. matt lively shows us the san francisco tradition that is sure to inspire. inspire you to stock up your
11:20 pm
first aid kit, at least. vern? >> just a few games in, and would you believe the bigs has produced its first no-hitter tonight. and giants at dodgers. first of 13 games between the two is in the books.

how can you not head bob on music like that? >> well, like this. we got to talk baseball. >> okay, sure. >> it's a long season. >> uh-huh. >> we're early on, and i guess the good news and bad news is
11:24 pm
it's too early to tell much about anything with any team. >> i need 25, 30 games to get a barometer reading on it. but boy, the dodgers tonight, the first four batters in the lineup accounted for five rbi in the game. whoa. dodgers, bout it tonight. hello, shohei ohtani. he's a dodger now. hot hitting michael conforto, let's start with him. he continued to swing a torrid bat. a top ten blast to get san francisco on the board. l.a. led 3-1. yet in the bottom of the inning, tyler rogers served up teoscar hernandez, increased the dodgers lead to 6-1. trying to do the same thing in the seventh. wilmer flores, two-out single, brought home a run, but jorge soler tagged out to end the inning. san francisco left ten on base. l.a. went on to win, final of 8-3. the giants drop to 2-3 for the year, and by the way, the a's did lose to the red sox 9-0. what a night for astros pitcher blanco against the blue
