Added the part in bold for ya bro. Can't forget the Sharks just because they're located in good old SJ Though the history of the Sharks has mostly been thick (75% playoff rate).

In the final 10 years of baseball played at Candlestick Park, the Giants drew more than 4,000 fans per game fewer than the A's have drawn at the Coliseum in the past 10 years of baseball played. That includes some good Giants seasons with Barry Bonds, some bad Giants seasons, and equally bad and pretty equally good seasons for the A's.

So, if you're asking how it's working out for the A's? Pretty similarly. The fact is that casual fans don't go to bad venues in the middle of a ghetto with no amenities and bad parks not meant for modern baseball.

Nah. Can't be that. Giants have the best fans ever. None of them are from the deplorable 925 and none of them are bandwagon or hipsters either. It's strictly A's fans that are fair-weather, despite statistical evidence and common sense. Those diehard A's fans that I sat with at the game last night while the A's were down 5-1 to the ASTROS (worst team in MLB) were clearly just there for the garlic fries and the awesome 1980s jumbotron that wouldn't even show the replay of Chris Young's 2 shot walkoff that got waived off...

Laws like this exist because we as a culture prefer business deals to be formed in board rooms, not court rooms.

Typical south bay. Can't get your way, so cry like a school girl, and file a frivolous law suit. Then wonder why the rest of the country stereotypes you as geeks.

Get over it san jose. You'll never host an mlb team and you don't deserve to. San jose can't even fill up a soccer stadium for pete's sake.

Hey what do u know, the lawsuit was dismissed. Why am I always right? I just don't get it. Stay thirsty san jose!

Now the mlb needs to do the right thing and move the A's to Austin. Maybe they can fill a stadium up.
