So, what happens when you bring together a former two-term Mayor of Oakland, a former Sports Team Executive, a young well-known local sports broadcast journalist, an Oakland A’s vlogger, and Zennie62Media CEO Zennie Abraham? An hour-long talk about the Oakland A’s progress toward a new ballpark in either Oakland or Las Vegas on Zennie62 YouTube, here:
The idea Casey Pratt of ABC KGO Channel 7 and I have formed is to talk from a complementary place: he as an Emmy-award winning sports broadcast journalist, and me as economic development specialist, mostly with the City of Oakland, either as intern, columnist, consultant, mayor’s aide, Super Bowl Bid organizer, and now media personality.
So, who is Casey Pratt, aside from his job? According to Casey’s bio, he was born in San Diego, California. Grew up as a 49ers fan in the San Francisco Bay Area. Graduated from San Ramon Valley High School and received his BA in journalism from San Francisco State University. And lives in Danville, California with his wife Danielle and their daughter. A Raiders fan could have a lot of fun with that, but moving alon
There’s a lot going on with both projects, but the one question in both of our minds has to do with implementation: where’s Oakland, and can Mayor Thao’s Administration finish what former Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf started? Why did Major League Baseball turn its attention to Las Vegas earlier than 2024? Can the Athletics Investment Group get a deal done in Las Vegas? And what about the $500 million subsidy? Will The Rio Hotel & Casino Property be the future home of the A’s? Will the A’s seek an increase in the Stadium Hotel Tax? We actually managed to cover all of those bases!
Fun and interesting talk on the A’s future in Oakland and Las Vegas. https://t.co/Zv4cUsxVtu
