A’s fans were treated to free food and great weather Saturday at the team’s annual FanFest, held at Jack London Square for the first time since 1999, and the good vibes were palpable.
“Best FanFest ever,” said Debbie Rose, 54, of Castro Valley. “The best accessibility, I got to see all my favorite players. It feels like they put A’s fans first. I’m starting to feel hopeful about things.”
New team president Dave Kaval earned rave reviews from fans for making the event free and for moving the event from the Coliseum to a more downtown location, and the waterfront site had more than a few in attendance thinking about a stadium nearby.
