On the That’s Amaury’s podcast:

#1 A’s attendance figures to have been all the conversation as the team is currently 29th of 30 teams in crowd counts.

#2 The A’s average attendance for games played at the Coliseum Mondays through Thursdays is at 8653, the lowest counts in some 15 years.

#3 What is most attributed to the drop in the crowds fans say it’s non-recognizable players and A’s president David Kaval says the amount of ticket sellers have been shifted to accommodating season ticket holders who reportedly are also below the average number in MLB.

#4 The A’s are having a struggle keeping top talent. The A’s have become an audition stage for top talent, who later bolt for bigger and better pay and end up leaving.

#5 The Oakland economy: Does the high rents, cost of living, low wages, play into fans sports dollars who may not be able to pay the $30 parking fee, tickets and feed a family of four at a ball game?
