The city of Oakland appears closer than ever to losing its last remaining professional sports team.
New Oakland mayor Sheng Thao claims the A’s were using talks with the city to leverage plans in Las Vegas, saying in a statement that Oakland will end their negotiations on the Howard Terminal project. After nearly three decades looking to move out of the old Oakland Coliseum, are the A’s officially ending their efforts to build a new stadium in Oakland?

We know it’s hard for fans to hear that. We’ve been here over 50 years. We know it’s a bittersweet day. It’s a tough thing to hear that the team could be relocating.
