I must be the odd one out, I think this is the best move the As could have made. Watching games at the coliseum with 60 fans in attendance was just sad. The location in Oakland I hear was inconvenient and not the safest. (Can't comment on this at all, just what I've heard said before).
Going to Las Vegas and being able to see a major league game to me sounds like a great time. A fun addition to a great vacation spot. I honestly think the heavy traffic of vegas will bring in a ton of new fans, and even some new foreign ones as it is a very popular tourism spot. I can't imagine a scenario where the teams fan base doesn't at least double.
I feel sorry for the die hard fans who attended games live in Oakland, but I think for everybody else this is a positive in terms of fan base growth and live attendance.
