Oakland A's president Dave Kaval weighs in on the low attendance at the Coliseum amid criticism over off-season trades, rising ticket prices, and his 'parallel paths' toward a new waterfront ballpark in Oakland and a move to Las Vegas.
The 2022 MLB season is young, and there’s already been much said about the low fan draw at the Oakland Coliseum for the A’s games.on April 18 came in at 17,503, the anemic turnout for the following games has been notable. In fact, the Athletics have been dead last in the league by a good margin for attendance, averaging fewer than 7,500 fans over the seven games, including a 42-year low of roughly 2,700 fans mid-week in the game versus the Baltimore Orioles last week.
Kaval responded by saying that the team has put its focus on the fans who were coming out to the ballpark. And he pointed to the series of events and promotions at the Coliseum. Though when pressed further on what might be leading to the low numbers, the team president was quick to point out the aging ballpark as a factor, saying that the A's needed to catch up with what other Bay Area teams were offering their fans. Well, one thing is we need a new stadium.
I think people are sometimes focused on all the negativity... and so I’m hopeful that people can see through that. Focus on what's fun about coming to the Coliseum and the ballpark and also get excited about the fact that we're very close to a new ballpark in Oakland.
