The the A's ownership coughed up twenty million in losses for three years (total) they would have a couple of world series trophies and a community far more likely to help them get a new ballpark. Gotta spend money to make money.
The A's are in a huge market (The SF Bay Area) with lots of money. Failure to capitalize on it in a business sense is not a failure of location - it's a failure of imagination.
