John Fisher to sell San Jose Earthquakes as A's prepare for Las Vegas move
John Fisher intends to sell the San Jose Earthquakes after hiring bank Moelis & Co. to carry out the sale, the Major League Soccer club announced Wednesday. The news comes ahead of Monday's official groundbreaking for another Fisher-owned team, the Athletics, to celebrate the start of construction for the franchise's stadium in Las Vegas. The baseball stadium will cost an estimated $1.75 billion. Fisher's family has pledged $1 billion toward that price tag. His selling the Earthquakes appears to be a move to potentially free up additional funds. The soccer club is valued at $600 million, according to a Sportico report in January, after Fisher paid a $20 million expansion fee for it in 2007. 'The San Jose Earthquakes and PayPal Park have been an important part of our lives for nearly two decades,' Fisher said in a statement. 'We are proud of the role the Quakes have played in the growth of soccer throughout Silicon Valley. The Bay Area is a special place and we're deeply grateful to the fans, players and staff who've been with us on this journey.' Fisher also hired Galatioto Sports to attract investors in an effort to raise upwards of $500 million, with Clark County in Las Vegas planning to contribute $350 million. The A's are expected to play at least three seasons at Sutter Health Park, home to the Sacramento River Cats, the Giants' Triple-A Affiliate. Fisher's decision to move the A's out of Oakland has earned him widespread criticism. What he accomplished with the Earthquakes in San Jose is its own story. In 2005, the San Jose Earthquakes, then owned by the Anschutz Entertainment Group, announced the franchise would be uprooted to become the Houston Dynamo. Fisher brought the Earthquakes back two years later as an expansion franchise and subsequently built a soccer-only stadium in 2015 that has since hosted premier soccer on numerous occasions. From selling out matches for the U.S. women's national team to welcoming international fútbol icon Lionel Messi as recently as this year, PayPal Park — previously known as Avaya Stadium before being renamed in 2021 — is among Fisher's notable achievements as the Quakes' owner. Attendance for Earthquakes matches has paled in comparison to other MLS teams. Their average home attendance ranked third to last in MLS last season. PayPal Park is also home to Bay FC, who debuted in the NWSL in 2024 and expect to build their own stadium in the future. The Quakes remain above the postseason cutoff in the Western Conference standings with a 6-7-5 record this season, led by first-year head coach Bruce Arena, a big-name hire. 'On behalf of Major League Soccer, I want to thank the Fisher family for their longstanding commitment to the Earthquakes and the San Jose community,' MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. 'Under their leadership, the club invested in world-class facilities like PayPal Park, built a highly respected youth academy and helped grow the game in one of the nation's most dynamic markets.'

Controlling share in San Jose Earthquakes up for sale
The San Jose Earthquakes are for sale. The MLS club announced Wednesday that the ownership group has put controlling interest in the franchise on the market, with investment bank Moelis & Co. hired to guide any potential sale. The Earthquakes have been owned by John Fisher since 2008. In that time, the club has made five MLS Cup playoff appearances and won the 2012 Supporters' Shield. Fisher is better known in the Bay Area for his tenure as the owner of Major League Baseball's Athletics. A's fans, for years, begged Fisher to sell the team as it floundered in the standings and failed to secure a new ballpark to replace the outdated Oakland Coliseum. Instead, he intends to move the franchise to Las Vegas beginning with the 2028 season. The A's currently are playing at temporary grounds in West Sacramento, Calif., since leaving Oakland after the 2024 season. Speculation ran rampant Wednesday that Fisher is selling the majority stake in the Earthquakes to help fund his portion of the $1.75 billion estimated cost of the planned A's ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip. Fisher oversaw the creation of soccer-specific stadium PayPal Park a decade ago. The statement from Fisher on Wednesday made no mention of how he intended to spend his proceeds. In January, Sportico ranked the franchise 20th in its MLS team valuations at $600 million. "The San Jose Earthquakes and PayPal Park have been an important part of our lives for nearly two decades," Fisher said. "We are proud of the role the Quakes have played in the growth of soccer throughout Silicon Valley. The Bay Area is a special place, and we're deeply grateful to the fans, players and staff who've been with us on this journey." MLS commissioner Don Garber had nice words to say about Fisher. "On behalf of Major League Soccer, I want to thank the Fisher family for their longstanding commitment to the Earthquakes and the San Jose community," Garber said. "Under their leadership, the club invested in world-class facilities like PayPal Park, built a highly respected youth academy and helped grow the game in one of the nation's most dynamic markets. We look forward to identifying new ownership that can build on this strong foundation and continue to elevate soccer in the Bay Area, and throughout Northern California." Fisher, 64, has a net worth of $3 billion, according to Forbes. While he is a founding partner of investment firm Sansome Partners, he served on the board of directors of the Gap until May 2022. He is the youngest of three sons born to Doris and Donald Fisher, founders of the Gap, according to Forbes. The Earthquakes -- currently eighth in the 15-team Western Conference after finishing last in 2024 -- aren't the only MLS franchise on the market. The Vancouver Whitecaps' majority owner hired Goldman Sachs last December to assist with the sale. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Owner of the San Jose Earthquakes puts team on the market
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The owner of the San Jose Earthquakes announced Wednesday that he has begun the process of selling the Major League Soccer club. John Fisher, who also owns baseball's Athletics, acquired the Earthquakes with Lew Wolff in 2007 for a $20 million expansion fee, bringing the team back in 2008 after a two-year hiatus. 'The San Jose Earthquakes and PayPal Park have been an important part of our lives for nearly two decades,' Fisher said in a statement released by the team. 'We are proud of the role the Quakes have played in the growth of soccer throughout Silicon Valley. The Bay Area is a special place, and we're deeply grateful to the fans, players and staff who've been with us on this journey.' The Earthquakes have hired the New York-based investment firm Moelis & Co. to lead the sale. The Earthquakes, then known as the San Jose Clash, were a founding member of MLS in 1996. The team won MLS Cup titles in 2001 and 2003. The Quakes also own and operate PayPal Park, an 18,000-seat stadium which is also the home of the National Women's Soccer League team Bay FC. 'On behalf of Major League Soccer, I want to thank the Fisher family for their longstanding commitment to the Earthquakes and the San Jose community,' MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. 'Under their leadership, the club invested in world-class facilities like PayPal Park, built a highly respected youth academy and helped grow the game in one of the nation's most dynamic markets.' ___
