Elephant Rumblings: Governor Gavin Newsom expects A’s fans will be able to attend Opening Day at Coliseum

Good morning afternoon, Athletics Nation!

The Oakland A’s already began selling vouchers for 2021 regular season tickets, but there was still the question of when fans might be allowed to begin attending games in the state of California again amid the coronavirus pandemic. The answer might end up being Opening Day.

California Governor Gavin Newsom indicated belief that A’s fans will be able to enter the Coliseum by the team’s April 1 opener, reports Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News. Newson said Wednesday that there have been “advanced discussions” with Major League Baseball on the topic and that they’re “working on the final details,” adds Rubin.
