Part 5/8:
Unlike Las Vegas, Sacramento boasts a structured demographic and a more considerable media market, ranked 20th compared to Las Vegas’ 40th. The diversity of industries in Sacramento—spanning agriculture, healthcare, science, and technology—provides a more stable foundation for economic support of a major league team than a city primarily centered around entertainment.
Furthermore, Sacramento’s sports culture could play a crucial role. The A’s would face less competition for entertainment dollars from other major attractions, making it easier to sustain a loyal fan base. Sacramento's ownership also brings significant local ties, particularly in Vivek Ranadivé, owner of the Kings, who has shown a vested interest in expanding Sacramento's sports portfolio.
