A's follow Raiders

The Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics are one step closer to Sin City.

MLB owners approve Athletics' planned move to Las Vegas, sources say

Connie Mack's A's are still beloved here for bringing Philly its first pro sports championship.

I don't think they will be met with as much success as the Raiders. But we'll see.

Moving the Raiders there was genius. What better place to draw away crowds than being in Vegas. Sure, you get some local fans, too, but filling the seats with traveling fans is good. Plus, your national fan base is more likely to come see you play at home, too, when home is a fun place to visit.

Not sure the above translates to baseball where there are 81 home games.
