The A’s have more than seven weeks left playing in Oakland, but the MLB team is already preparing its farewell tour in the Bay Area.
With the playoffs out of the question at 48–68 and last place in the AL West, the Sept. 26 game against the Rangers will be the club’s final home contest at the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum. On Thursday, the A’s announced the game is already sold out. The single-game attendance record at the Coliseum is 56,310 from a 2018 game against the Giants. This season, Oakland is averaging fewer than 9,000 fans per game.
One More Time
Ahead of the home finale, the A’s have cooked up some other off-field plans for the Rangers series to say goodbye to their Oakland fan base. The Sept. 24 game will feature $2 tickets and free parking, and the Sept. 25 game has $10 tickets. Gates will open early throughout the series.
After the final homestand, the franchise will play its final three games as the Oakland A’s in Seattle for a series against the Mariners.
From Cali to Vegas
The A’s are set to play the 2025 through 2027 seasons in Sacramento at Sutter Health Park, which has a capacity of 14,000 for the River Cats, the Triple-A affiliate of the Giants. But there are several questions about that plan, including eventual reaction from the MLB Players Association next season.
Meanwhile, financing is still an issue for the team’s planned $1.5 billion ballpark in Las Vegas that is supposed to be ready for the 2028 MLB season. On Thursday, a court in Nevada explored the pros and cons of a $380 million deal for public funding of the venue. A judge could block the deal.
