private jet and i don't have won the first game in in their news farrago armadillo stadium on a 9 acre site in las vegas. so this is going to keep smashing into the side of the hearts minds and souls of days stands for years to so i'm not surprised that there vacating oakland sacramento and trying to figure out how that's going to work quite a way to describe new stadium. >> right there. and you could, you help us understand the business rationale, perhaps behind the team's with with their latest decision here. >> yeah, well, if i could, i probably win the nobel peace prize. john fisher purchase this team. 15 years ago or 16 for 180 million dollars. he has destroyed the franchise and it's worth 1.2 billion dollars today. if in fact the team does relocate to las

>> stephanie, the temperature at first pitch during the that they're not dome stadium, which is a wonderful ballpark, will be about 112 degrees. major league baseball players association has already said that's not going to happen. so you go to sacramento where it's not cool, but it's not that degree of a negative temperatures and they were unable they meaning the a's, the city and the county and major league baseball. they were unable to reach any kind of us decision on where they should have been already in a new ballpark, which is at the 66th avenue exit in oakland. this is the 13th or 14th location that they've looked at as the better when aes and this is where they're supposedly going for the next few years. it makes little or no sense. >> you know you brought up the city of oakland here. how do

teams in such a short period of time. the finger points directly in work. >> how many workers do see impacted by this decision at the coliseum? >> when we were selling out at the coliseum and people sort of forget that. but under the haas family, many years we were drawing millions of fans, not thousands of fans of states are now a full compliment at a sell out game which is 7 in a while could be several workers. security management operations, concessions, parking. it could go up to 1000 for a significant postseason game like the world series which the a's played in 3 consecutive years. 88 89 90. so your affecting many, many people, you're fixing affecting the tax base and more importantly, as i said,

80 million fans that come through the turnstiles to see a's games and you're affecting their heart mind and soul. the coliseum was the last town square left in open that people of all backgrounds could get together and celebrate their sports teams. and now it is going to be a quiet location. >> all right. well, to wrap things up here and eat, is there any chance the a's have a future in oakland? you're paid. >> as they say in the movies, there's always a chance. and that's just because if you look at sign rooted in oakland, which as vacant as you could possibly imagine, along with empty seats. things could go upside down in which they do from time to time. >> there have been many rumored purchasers of the a's who have money and oakland, that part. >> so until they're playing in their new stadium sometime in
