They are, in theory, but Vegas hasn't built the stadium yet, and it'll take some time. Meanwhile, the lease in Oakland is up this season, and it's possible that Sacramento may make a better offer.
That's right. They were haggling over the land development plan. I did hear about that but I just assumed they would stay in Oakland until that is sorted.
Without getting into the politics of it all. It has got to be pretty rough for Oakland to lose all three of their major sports franchises in the span of a decade. I know the Warriors just moved across the Bay to SF but still an L for Oakland.

Yeah, for fans (especially kids), it just hurts losing a team, regardless of the reason. I lived in Atlanta when the Thrashers debuted there and left right when they moved, and I know a lot of folks who felt that like a punch in the gut.

I have family in the Montreal area and they are still pissed about the Expos leaving two decades ago.
