Wow. There are legitimately Sac sub posters that saw this and think they’re dunking on Oakland.
The A’s are dead last in MLB attendance and Sac is filling less than < 70% of capacity of a minor league ballpark. Paper attendance including empty season ticket holder seats barely outpacing the boycotted lame duck season in Oakland isn’t an accomplishment.
So pathetic. I’ve gone to a handful of games and the whole thing sucks. The vibe, the atmosphere, the food. If there is one good thing about the minor league park it’s that kids have chances to get baseballs from the bullpen. The players throw at least one every half inning, sometimes a few more randomly if a reliever is warming up.
FJF!
Sacramento fans shading Oakland fans in that thread because of bad attendance is rich.
In the midst of the Kings relocation talks with Seattle and other cities in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Kings ranked in attendance :
2007/08 – 27th out of 30 teams (2 years removed from 8 straight playoff appearances)
2008/09 – 29th out of 30 teams
2009/10 – 29th out of 30 teams
2010/11 – 29th out of 30 teams
2011/12 – 27th out of 30 teams
2012/13 – 30th out of 30 teams
2010/11 season in Sacramento was supposedly their last year in the city before the NBA governors rejected relocation of the Kings franchise
Kings were finally sold in May 2013 to the current ownership to keep them in Sacramento. Even after their franchise was “saved” after that 2011 vote by the NBA governors their attendance didn’t improve and they actually ranked dead last in attendance during the 2012/13 season.
So spare me with that nonsense as the Kings supposed last season playing in that city during 2010/11 season their average attendance per game was 13,900 with Arco Arena having a capacity of 17,300 which ranked 2nd to last for all NBA teams. Kings were in the bottom 4 in attendance for 6 straight seasons before they were sold in 2013.
Who knew having bad ownership that threatens to leave your city and doesn’t care to spend the money necessary to keep team rosters around long term, winning rosters in the A’s instance, year after year can negatively effect overall attendance.
Who are the Sacramento Athletics? Even the team doesn’t refer to themselves as Sacramento anything
What I find interesting, besides all the crying Oakland, is that San Diego somehow exceeded their capacity.
Who are these Sac clowns that pump up this Sac-Oakland thing?
They do realize they were literally the last resort of a desperate owner that’s going to leave them the first chance he gets.
In all the Haas years, the A’s were never last in attendance and never drew less than a million, even in the strike shortened 1981 and 94 seasons. FJF’s team has failed to hit a million in the last 4 seasons and will miss it again this year. They will be dead last for the 5th year in a row. Btw, Haas’ A’s never lost 100 games. FJF did in 22 and 23, in obvious tanked seasons.
69. Nice.
Just wait till it gets hot!
I can only imagine how the crowds would’ve been in Oakland it he sold or built Howard terminal. Could’ve called it Fisher Field and been a local hero, attendance would’ve thrived if someone cared enough to make it happen.
