Sports teams are like any other business and want to make as much money as possible. Oakland has been unwilling/unable to offer the teams the incentives they want to stay. These are things like fully or partially paying for stadiums, tax breaks, sales of public land, and similar things. This left teams with the choice of staying and paying for everything in a market that has seen attendance dropping in recent years or take offers elsewhere and hope that a fan base grows or at least attendance numbers increase.
