OAKLAND, Calif. — A day Oakland sports fans have long dreaded has arrived — the last major professional franchise in the East Bay is leaving town.
Golden State played at Oracle for 47 seasons, winning NBA championships 40 years apart in 1975 and 2015. The team has now left Oakland twice, having departed in 1982 for Los Angeles only to return in 1995 and then making the latest move to Nevada. Last November, fellow baseball owners unanimously approved Fisher's relocation plan. The A's plan to play in the state capital of Sacramento for at least the next three campaigns and hope to move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.
