The team was based in Oakland from 1968 through 2024, during which it won four <a href="/wiki/World_Series" title="World Series">World Series</a> titles. Their relocation would make them the second major sports franchise to move from Oakland to Las Vegas, following the <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Raiders" title="Oakland Raiders">Oakland Raiders</a> of the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a> (NFL) <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Raiders_relocation_to_Las_Vegas" title="Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas">making the same move in 2020</a>.

In 2023, the team announced it was planning to build <a href="/wiki/New_Las_Vegas_Stadium" title="New Las Vegas Stadium">a new ballpark</a> in the Las Vegas Valley, causing negotiations over the proposed <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Ballpark" title="Oakland Ballpark">Oakland Ballpark</a> at Howard Terminal to collapse.

Between 1901 and 1954, the Athletics played their home games at <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Park" title="Columbia Park">Columbia Park</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shibe_Park" title="Shibe Park">Shibe Park</a> in <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a> under the ownership of <a href="/wiki/Connie_Mack" title="Connie Mack">Connie Mack</a>. In 1955, Mack sold the Athletics to <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> businessman <a href="/wiki/Arnold_Johnson_(industrialist)" title="Arnold Johnson (industrialist)">Arnold Johnson</a>, who moved the team to <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City,_Missouri" title="Kansas City, Missouri">Kansas City, Missouri</a>, to become the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_Athletics" title="Kansas City Athletics">Kansas City Athletics</a> and played at <a href="/wiki/Municipal_Stadium_(Kansas_City,_Missouri)" title="Municipal Stadium (Kansas City, Missouri)">Municipal Stadium</a> until 1967.

Finley">Charles O. Finley</a>. </p><p>Finley sought to move the team out of Kansas City as early as 1961, when he courted <a href="/wiki/Dallas-Fort_Worth_Metroplex" class="mw-redirect" title="Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex">Dallas-Fort Worth</a> to AL owners, but nothing came out of it. Four years later, he would sign an agreement to move the team to <a href="/wiki/Louisville" class="mw-redirect" title="Louisville">Louisville</a>, where they would rebrand themselves as the "Kentucky Athletics," but this never came to fruition as the AL blocked the move. Other cities considered by Finley included <a href="/wiki/Atlanta" title="Atlanta">Atlanta</a>, <a href="/wiki/Milwaukee" title="Milwaukee">Milwaukee</a> (the previous home of the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Braves" title="Atlanta Braves">Atlanta Braves</a> from 1953 to 1965), <a href="/wiki/New_Orleans" title="New Orleans">New Orleans</a>, <a href="/wiki/San_Diego" title="San Diego">San Diego</a> and <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, all of which would gain their own MLB teams, except for New Orleans. In 1968, Finley chose to relocate the Athletics to <a href="/wiki/Oakland,_California" title="Oakland, California">Oakland</a> and share the <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Coliseum" title="Oakland Coliseum">Oakland Coliseum</a> with the <a href="/wiki/American_Football_League" title="American Football League">American Football League</a> (AFL)'s <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Raiders" title="Oakland Raiders">Oakland Raiders</a>. </p><p>The Athletics became Oakland's third professional sports team<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> after the Raiders and the <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Seals" class="mw-redirect" title="Oakland Seals">Oakland Seals</a> of the <a href="/wiki/National_Hockey_League" title="National Hockey League">National Hockey League</a>, who had commenced play a few months earlier as part of the <a href="/wiki/1967_NHL_expansion" title="1967 NHL expansion">1967 NHL expansion</a>. Oakland would go on to become a four sports city in 1971, when the <a href="/wiki/Golden_State_Warriors" title="Golden State Warriors">San Francisco Warriors</a> moved across the Bay and rebranded themselves as the Golden State Warriors. It would retain this status for five years, after which the Seals (by then renamed the California Golden Seals) relocated to <a href="/wiki/Cleveland,_Ohio" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleveland, Ohio">Cleveland, Ohio</a> and became the <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Barons_(NHL)" title="Cleveland Barons (NHL)">Cleveland Barons</a>. </p><p>The Athletics' streak of success in the city in the early 1970s, known as the "<a href="/wiki/Swingin%27_A%27s" title="Swingin' A's">Swingin' A's</a>" era, saw the team win <a href="/wiki/Threepeat" class="mw-redirect" title="Threepeat">three straight</a> <a href="/wiki/World_Series" title="World Series">World Series</a> titles in <a href="/wiki/1972_World_Series" title="1972 World Series">1972</a>, <a href="/wiki/1973_World_Series" title="1973 World Series">1973</a> and <a href="/wiki/1974_World_Series" title="1974 World Series">1974</a>. By the end of the decade, the team was in a full-fledged rebuild as Finley had considerably reduced investments into the team and many star players left to other teams via <a href="/wiki/Trade_(sports)" title="Trade (sports)">trades</a> and the newly-implemented <a href="/wiki/Free_agency" class="mw-redirect" title="Free agency">free agency</a> process. To save money, Finley even severed the team's local television and radio broadcasting contracts, making it very difficult for fans to follow the team.

established plan to build a new ballpark at the Coliseum site by Piccinini and Dolich, Selig blocked the sale and afterwards, he came out and said that he believes that moving the Athletics to Oakland in 1968 was "a horrible decision" and "the worst mistake" in baseball history, indicating that he was against the team staying in Oakland and wanted the Giants to be the only Bay Area team. As such, Selig was accused of using his authority as commissioner to manipulate the sale process so that Wolff could own the team, who he got acquainted with from college and knew was willing to move the team out of Oakland. This included blocking the sale to Joe Lacob, who was interested in buying the team and building a privately financed ballpark in Oakland, after he reached a verbal agreement and an ownership group led by <a href="/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> CEO <a href="/wiki/Bill_Gates" title="Bill Gates">Bill Gates</a> and former Athletics superstar <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Jackson" title="Reggie Jackson">Reggie Jackson</a> whose bid was significantly higher than what Wolff and Fisher paid.
