On the Oakland A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel Dullum:

#1 Daniel, Oakland A’s fans who participated in the opening night boycott at the Oakland Coliseum went on without a hitch. There was no one called a “scab” for coming into the ballpark or no harassment complaints by anyone protesting in the parking lot.

#2 Matter of fact some 20,000 fans were staying in the parking lot throughout Thursday night’s opening night at the Coliseum. They paid for the parking but didn’t come into the park as promised.

#3 The announced attendance was 13,522 at the Oakland Coliseum for paid tickets. The message was clear from fans in the lot they want to A’s owner John Fisher to sell the team but as Fisher himself said many times the team is not for sale and the push to get to Las Vegas is on.

#4 Still as reporters, fans and those who are insiders at the Coliseum still question when will John Fisher come up with his share of the construction costs and present a blue print plan that makes sense to build a nine acre ballpark on the Tropicana site?

#5 $30,000 was raised for Schools over Stadiums during Thursday’s boycott at the Oakland Coliseum. One of the fans unnamed stepped up and said if $100,000 was raised at the boycott he would match that donation in the Schools over Stadiums legal fees to get language on the petition approved by the appeals judge to get an initiative on the Nov 2024 ballot to stop the public funding of the A’s Las Vegas ballpark. Schools over Stadiums has until Jun 1st to get over 102,000 signatures to get the initiative on the ballot.
