The Odds of the Oakland A's MLB Team Moving to Nashville?

 Well....there are four ways to view this discussion topic.

First, the Oakland A's have finally said....here's the new stadium plan for the bay area of Oakland, and we want the city council to approve it.  The city council?  If you follow this story....they don't seem that hyped-up and it's almost like they were expecting some cash flow to their campaign 'bucket'.  

Second, the Nashville city population for 2021 is figured at 1.27-million, and if you did a boundary drawing (25 mile circle), you can probably add another million.  If you drew the 100 mile circle....there's probably another million minimum.  They have the population to support a team.

Third, there's this odd trend going on with folks from California and NY.....moving to Tennessee (state population this year will likely top 7-million).  

Finally, you come to the general sports attitude of the state and it wouldn't take much to get folks hyped for the A's.

My bet?  At the end of this crappy 2021 season.....I see the team disenchanted with the city council, and just saying the 2022 season is the final season in Oakland.
